ABSOLUTELY NOT! Floyd couldn't take Rocky's punches.....Liston MAYBE could beat Rocky but it depends on when they fight.
Louis is my #1 greatest heavyweight of all time....25 successful title defenses a record that won't soon be broken!
Re: What if Marciano hadn't retired?
It is possible Floyd might have beaten Rocky, they all get old and eventually lose to a lesser opponents. I think if Rocky fought Liston at that age, he would have been decapitated.
Re: What if Marciano hadn't retired?
he would have lost and he knew it, he did the right thing and quit while he was ahead!
liston and clay would have beaten the aging champion and maybe pattersons fast hands could to unless rocky cought him with a big shot cause we all know patterson didnt have much of a chin

rocky quit because of al weil aka the devil. marciano never thought he would loose 2 any1. rocky would prob been like 35 if he fought liston and like 40 if he fought clay.

agreed-all the greats losses come from when there old men. marciano retired as a champion instead of an beatin old man. liston would been 2 much 4 an old rocky , just like rocky was 2 much 4 an old louis.
