    Baker was a big, strong, very technical heavyweight with big amateur credentials

    What would be baker's chance of beating marciano in this fight?


    What is your ultimate prediction of this fight?


    I like Marciano by Kayo in 9 rounds, in a competitive fight

    To get out-hit 'n out-jabbed 'till Baker's glass paws were useless.

    I think Marciano would circle to his left and pump the jab, to keep the big oaf off-balance. Make him reach, then come over the top with a long right hand.

    What do you mean, strategy? He would beat on him 'till he didn't move anymore.

    Punch him. A lot. As hard as possible.

    Marciano never brought much of a gameplan.

    He never cared about how awkward he looked, he just let his mitts do the thinking.
