    Actually, a good tussle...... Prime Saad M. would love to fight at 181 pounds and be fully charged.... 175 was a killer for him to make, but he was able when young.... Marciano would still be the slender and toned 185 pounder with more natural strength and power, so Marciano wins....

    Marciano KO 8 Saad M. in a thriller.....

    What a good fantasy fight. Marciano with a late stoppage , Saad gives a good account of himself though, i think he would suit 180-185 better.

    I love Saad, and think he might even have a few good minutes in this match, but ultimately Marciano is to much and stops him between 6-9....leanin towards earlier!

    If you are pressed to find a Philly guy or a non-Hw to trouble Marciano look no further than Tommy Loughran who I think would give a much closer (perhaps not as exciting) match for Rocky! Although I still think he would come up just short, he has a much better chance of taking this to the cards.

    Looking for a war not a bullfight.

    I think Tunney would have a good chance, also, especially with healthy hands.

    "Tunney-Marciano" is pick-em.... The '26 Tunney versus '52 Marciano is a great match-up / pairing of the two...

    Imagine what Yaqui Lopez did to Saad, but with the Rock's power.

    Marciano by TKO in 8.
