    Maher was a helacious puncher and Marciano might have to climb off the canvas to batter him into submision.

    Rocky blasts Maher out early.

    Probably reminiscent of this KO (though not the fight):

    9:40

    Marciano starts out the tournament with a dominant performance.

    You're doing a 32 Fighters elimination tournament? I'm doing one as well, but with 128 Emcee, I'm still trying to figure out how to do it, not doing 64 Threads for the 1st round that's for sure.

    Probably like Goddard-Maher 1, expect Peter to floor Rocky before getting battered into submission-no 185 pounder hit harder than Maher but the Rock would probably take it and Peter's heart or chin wouldn't.

    Maher had a bigger punch than Rocky's overhand right? I have doubts on this. Look what Rocky did to Layne and Walcott with 1 punch. I'm not saying Maher couldn't hit really hard, but saying he hits harder than Dempsey and Marciano? That's a high pedestal to put him on.

    Read the book!
    He sure sparked a load of fighters flat out cold and not just smallish guys. Not that Rocky and Jack didn't either but they had a better all-round game. Just my opinion.
