    Who wins and why?

    This would be a contest between two "in your face" champions! Too bad they came along at different times as this would be a GREAT contest!

    It would be a classic thats for sure, I see both fighters being down multiple times in this fight and the result could go either way. One possibility is that Rockys incredible stamina makes him wear down Frazier in the late rounds and forcing the referee or Fraziers corner to step in. Another is that with Frazier having the size advantage he could move Rocky around the ring more easily, and Rocky had a tendancy to cut easily so a Frazier victory via stoppage or via cuts isnt out of the question.

    I couldnt even bet on this one I have absolutely no idea who would win.

    Frazier had incredible stamina and work-rate as well. There's no way this fight would go the distance.

    I'd pick Frazier, bur I'm biased. It'd be too hard to bet on.

    I would take Marciano because he has two-fisted power, contrary to Frazier. He also seemed a bit more durable, which is going to be essential because this is not going to be a jabbing contest.

    Strength 8 7

    marciano would suffocate frazier with pressure. frazier can't fight while backing up.

    I lean towards Marciano by close decision, needless to say after both men have been beaten to the brink of death.

    Ive thought about this 1 before & its 1 of my fav ever fantasy fights.

    This WOULD go the distance & if they fought 10 times it would very likely end up 5-5, all wars a mirror image of each other & all go the distance.

    It would be the hwt chavez duran only duran had the 1 punch ko power advantage + a slight size advantage in that 1... but this fight... damn, they are so evenly matched.

    Rocky has that big right hand & joe has the big left hook.

    I`ll go frazier by split decision......... but in reality its anybody`s fight.
    Its up there with foreman vs liston as 1 of the hardest fantasy fights Ive ever had to predict.
