    Larry wins a decision.
    By now he's ageing but still got enough to win through the jab smacking in to Rocky s Face.

    Holmes would need to be at his best to stand a chance at beating Marciano even from 1951 and he just wasn't in 1985.

    Marciano. Too much two-fisted power. Too much volume.
