    I think Folley will have the same problems old Louis had, namely a lack of response for when Rocky barrels in and starts ripping hooks and right hands.
    Folley can jab and move and outpoint but he is going to be accruing damage, he is going to tire, slow down and then Rocky will take him out.
    It's not impossible for Folley to get a decision win here if he is very smart about it but I lean towards Rocky 70/30 here.

    At their best I think Rocky Marciano wins by KO.

    Turned out out be a heck of a thread. Thanks, all!

    And Happy thanksgiving.

    I think everyone knows I am a big Marciano guy, and pick him, but I do like Foley.

    Marciano behind slightly, gets his man.
    Ko 10.

    Zora Folley was in a lot of dull fights. I never looked forward to his televised matches. He was methodical and cautious, with a fairly effective right hand. I give him almost no chance of defeating Marciano. Rocky was too tough for him. I saw Folley fight Ali in the old Madison Square Garden. By then he was washed up and just looking for a last payday.
