Rocky Marciano: Who does he fare best against?

I think he gets demolished by all of them, probably takes Ali the longest at 8 rounds or so just given his style.

 

Cheers Mike, you too, mate.

 

He'll beat Frazier, Ali is 50/50 and Foreman would beat him.

Ali that lost against Frazier would lose against Marciano too, and Marciano would beat Frazier because he has superior strenght, better conditioning, two hands power and harder puncher.

 

That’s the last time you come at me for one of my predictions & get taken seriously.

 

As bad as Charles busted him up, imagine the work Ali would do, Foreman would shove him around, and Frazier would beat him at his own game

 

He would last the longest against Ali because Ali would likely at least be boxing around the ring while the other 2 would be smoking and bombing respectively. I think Rocky loses to all 3 decisively. At his best, he weighed around 185-186 with pitifully short arms. Joe was at his best in the 205 range. That's 20 pounds advantage right there. Way too much weight to give away to a slugger like Frazier, who was also quicker and slicker. The other 2 are even bigger. None of these bouts would end well for the Rock.

 

He’d fare best against Frazier. Him against Foreman would be like Kingston and prime Ali would rip him to shreds.

 

Foreman would definitely be the one to steer him clear of out of the three.

 

Think Frazier is the easiest as he will fight Marciano’s fight.

He stands a better chance against Ali as anyone else in history.

as much as people clown him today he was extremely respected by the likes of Ali. Ali thought himself that out of anyone before him Rocky would have been the toughest fight.

Foremans all wrong for Rocky. He was a master at beating smaller men and even thought he punched harder going down (which is an odd thing)

 

I say Frazier because Frazier would be easier for Rocky to land on with full power. Ali would be dancing away and Rocky getting to Foreman would be like running across a football field of land mines.

 

There is a reason the Rock went 49-0. Don't be shocked if Marciano sweeps all 3 of em.

 

Loses against all of them in most cases, but isn't completely hopeless against Frazier and Ali- Though I'd bet for either of them over The Rock.

 

I’d be interested to hear from the people who think Ali handily beats Marciano what they think of the comparison to Frazier, his success vs Ali, & why it wouldn’t apply here.

Is it Marciano’s reach? Or the fact it’s a truly prime Ali? Or do you just see Marciano as stylistically different, or less effective within the same style, as Frazier?

 

Frazier hurts him the worst. Ali is going to grind him into submission via cut or swelling by superior outboxing and just being more man. Foreman is going to cash his check early. Frazier is going to end his career.
