Rocky Marciano ~ 'A Fight Between Cassius Clay and Me Would Have Been Horrible'

[Bill Paxtom]

~ Rocky Marciano ~

A fight between Cassius Clay and me would have been a 'Horror Show'.

If the Ring was a 20' square, the bout would have been horrible, as our styles would
have neutralized each other.

With Cassius boxing and moving, there would have been little action. Boxing and jabbing
is not my style, and if we had fought, the Arena would have emptied out half-way thru
our bout due to the lack of exchanges.

Sometimes you just have to admit, that certain opponents would have been a bad mix, and
Cassius and I were not styled for action against each other.
