I think Marciano would eventually find Ali over 15 rounds
Ali always had these flat spots where he seemed to zone ot and get hit. Trying to get a 2nd wind etc. I say Rocky would not need a 2nd wind and when Ali needed even 1 mimute to recover say in the 7th or 8th round to get a few nreaths in, Marciano would lower the fucking boom and either break his elbows or hit him in the kidneys or something similar. I say Rocky eventually finds Ali and its lights fucking out.

What age is Ali when this fight takes place?

That you are Bat Shit crazy!!
Re: I think Marciano would eventually find Ali over 15 rounds
Yeah, I dont think Marciano would have lasted that long. Moore was an old light heavyweight and had Marciano in trouble. Rocky just isnt big enough or good enough defensively to live with the big heavies. Look at Patterson. Ali said he was his most skillfull opponent but Liston just walked through him. Ali didnt but Ali wasnt the big puncher that Liston was but Floyd was good defensively and was skillfull, he even had a good punch but just not big enough.

Well, considering Joe Louis was 76 years old when Marciano beat him, I would guess Ali would have to be knocking on a bit for Rocky to get a win.

We know you do Brock, we know you do... ;)
Re: I think Marciano would eventually find Ali over 15 rounds
To much Rum in the Nog Brock?
Re: I think Marciano would eventually find Ali over 15 rounds
marciano was the hell of a fighter but I can't see how he'd take a bigger Ali with more power and faster hands, really.
Re: I think Marciano would eventually find Ali over 15 rounds
I know this fight has been discussed time and again. I do give Marciano a chance though most definitely. As I have said before Ali could be put down and even though he had great recovery powers and would close the show once he got back up (mostly), if anyone could put him down and keep him there it was the Brockton Blockbuster.

It is Christmas let Brock have his moment. Rocky KO round 14 suzy Q.

Could be close..but the same winner.
Joe would have been the toughest test for Roy at 168 than any other super mid in history.
The same cannot be said for Marciano/Ali.
Re: I think Marciano would eventually find Ali over 15 rounds
And sometimes not.
Joe would have been the fastest opponent Roy ever faced and from the other side. Roy wins but it would not be easy.
Re: I think Marciano would eventually find Ali over 15 rounds
In my humble opinion the Ali/Clay who fought Ernie Terrell and Cleveland Williams would have absolutely destroyed Marciano, it wouldn't have even been competitive. Rocky would have been barely able to lay a glove on Ali because of his defense, and Mariano's short arms.
Marciano might have had better luck fighting the version of Ali after his 3 1/2 year layoff for draft evasion and/or the version of Ali who lost to Joe Frazier in their 1st fight.
