    He´s just try to make Marciano worse than he was, nothing new here, he should try something different...

    Marciano is great no doubt, however he just isn't anywhere near Ali.

    Are you content with name calling, or are you going to provide some facts that detract from Louis' record or just :bowdown like a good lil' girl?

    Kid McCoy was a little old to have any chance with Louis. Joe should have fought more LIVE opponents!

    I don't like Ali - I didn't care much for the way he disrespected his opponents. That said, of course Rocky wouldn't have an easy time beating him, nobody in their right mind honestly thinks that. Can Rocky beat Ali, yep, but maybe not every time.

    Ali was greater than Marciano. Even though Rocky retired undefeated, he only defended his title 6-7 times. Ali fought better opposition as well, and his longevity at the top of the game was much longer.

    Marciano was a truely great fighter, no question. He got knocked down, then came back to win. He was also behind on points against Walcott before turning the tables to get the knockout during the 13th round.

    The Ring done a very good tribute on Marciano back in 2005 with a double issue. The back of the magazine has many extracts from articles back in the 1950's.
