Rocky Marciano vs. Muhammad Ali

Marciano never catches Ali enough over the duration of the fight, to grind down Ali's chin or ribs.

Ali makes a run over the final four rounds, to earn a UD (10-5)

 

Marciano outswarms Ali, and pins him on the ropes to SD Ali.

 

Not quite.

 

Because I can, now **** off :good

 

Ali UD over marciano.

Marciano is too slow and wild with his punches to get Ali, Ali dances around Rocky all night hitting him with lighting fast jabs and straight rights.
Rocky never faced anyone on the level of Ali.

 

I think it would be a draw and everybody on this site would bitterly protest the decision.

 

Both men had the ability to give each other lots of trouble, Ali with his movemnt and Rocky with his off-rythym- combo's that were hard to time, Rocky stamina would be the key in this fight and his double hook would be used more because Ali was open to it, I see the fight looking close to Ali-Frazier 1 except that Marciano also had a killer right and instead of leaning in bent back low making it hard for a fighter to reach in and punch without committing and being countered, no one can really say who would win but it would be a war for 10 rounds, I see Marciano getting stronger over the last 5 rounds

 

Marciano UD Ali


9-6 rounds

 

:tired

 

Sorry that I´m not a fanatic Ali groupie, I saw what a Frazier did to him, and not only in my opinion Marciano is a bit better version of him...

 

I also saw what M. Spinks did to Holmes, but that doesn't mean he beats the prime version now does it?

No offense, but it's just that now I find you so predictable. It's used to be interesting, but now it's monotonous and you should know that the novelty has now worn off.

Maybe you're not an "Ali groupie", but being a Marciano groupie is not that much different.:good

 

I´m no Marciano-groupie when I pick him to win a fantasy matchup. You write exactly the things others write to you, I read a similar post from someone at boxingsc. forum who wrote that you´re so predictable, etc., it´s kind of funny, like here, I write to you something and you counter with exactly the same stuff...

 

How do we know a prime version of larry holmes would have beaten guys like spinks, tyson and holyfield? I mean a prime larry holmes barely beat ken norton and won a razor thin decision against witherspoon. Larry looks awesome on film but he dominated an extremely weak era. Which top level fighter has larry ever beaten in convincing fashion?

 

I don't know who would win, but I am fairly confident it would be a great match...an all time classic bout, although there is a risk that Rocky may be stopped on cuts.

Rocky's swarming style would give Ali trouble, as would Rocky's two fisted power and durability. Ali would give any fighter who ever lived trouble.

Maybe it would be a 2-1 split if they fought a trilogy, like Ali vs Frazier.

 

ROCKY MARCIANO stops Ali in five rounds or less .Ali could only throw punches of any significance while moving to his left . He stayed up over his left foot ninety percent of his fights .He was the worst fighter off the ropes than any champion of any kind in history . Marciano moved extremely well to his right,was hard to hit with a jab unless his opponent reached for him,while running into devestating right hands to the body and head both on the ropes and in the corners .Styles make fights and this one is one of the easiest in history to figure out,even for a knowledgable fan . COMMON SENSE FOLKS ! BUT THEN ,WHAT DOE'S COMMON SENSE HAVE TO DO WITH A BIASED BOXING FAN ?.....God bless.....kenny weldon...oh ,and you guys who think Marciano was too small ,forget it .This was an advantage with Ali ,who was made for Rocky ! Me not being an expert like battleing Burt Sugar may disqualify me though...
