You can also turn around the things here, some say Marciano wouldn´t have a chance against Ali, but that´s bs, it´s normal that you can logically counter with a sentence like "If a 45 years 250 lbs Marciano KD a prime Ali with a bodyshot, a prime Marciano against a prime Ali would be a close fight..."
Greatness is not about theoretical matchups based on pure speculation. It's about what a fighter accomplishes throughout his career and who he "rubs up against". Although Marciano's undefeated record is impressive, his competition level is weak compared to others. Joe Louis is the greatest: 25 consecutive title defenses with 20 knockouts against quality opponents. End of story. (The Marciano-Louis fight is irrelevant; that's like saying Holmes is the greatest because he beat a washed up Ali.)
But that's not what they're saying. They're not saying it would be a clost fight. They're saying Rocky would tear his head off in one round!
That was not off of the outcome of the computer fight, but mostly the sparing of 70 rounds with Marciano that rise Ali's option on the Rock. Thats why Ali said Maybe. He didnt know if he could beat the rock or vice vesa.
You know, for me, a matchup between Marciano and Ali, 2 of the greatest fighters ever, would be pretty close, everybody who says something like that it would be one-sided or so is biased, stupid or simply both.
marciano was a monster.a wrecking machine.i'm an ali fan,but just happen to think he would beat the rock.
Yeah Tommy Farr or Kid McCoy were as great as Ezzard Charles or Archie Moore. Louis may have rein longer, BUt I give the edge with Quality to Marciano.
First off, learn how to ****ing type. Second, if you disagree, put forth some facts to back up your kindergarten statement.... Then we'll have something constructive to talk about mother****er. I can see by your previous posts that you have the intellect of a fruit fly. :think
