    mcvey - That's exactly what I would expect Jerry to believe, don't you agree? I would hardly expect a man with Jerry's mentality to say"Yeah, well actually, The Rock woulda kicked my ass!"

    After the first two rounds of Frazier I, Jerry wound down badly. Even if he had finished that fight unmarked, he would have gassed to a halt long before the final bell. He also gassed horribly in the Ali rematch, where he did finish unmarked. He gassed badly against Norton as well, though it must be acknowledged that he was ten pounds heavier than for Frazier II, where again he gassed badly. Marciano is just about the worst possible heavyweight to have this flaw against. Put cut preventing head gear on both, and I'd still put money on Rocky to stop Jerry within the championship distance. Too much relentless pressure and too consistent a body attack for JQ to withstand for 15 rounds. Jerry's chin did not prevent Frazier from dropping him to a knee in their rematch, and Marciano's body attack was perfectly capable of producing the same result during his championship career.
