    We got the thread all ready. It's about nine pages long.

    Frazier had better defense, faster hands, was bigger, IMO stronger, better footwork, was just as tough and had just as much stamina. I think they would both be able to hurt the other with their best punches, but I think Frazier would be able to land his best punch more often and to greater effect than Marciano would. It would be an absolutely brutal war of attrition, but I pick Frazier by 8th round stoppage after a bloodied and battered Marciano is dropped. He makes the 10 count but the ref stops the fight anyway before Smokin Joe can continue his onslaught.
