No doubt Rocky would punish Ali to the body so badly he would be crippled and unable to dance about by the 5th round or so, and Rock would annihilate him, as Ali could not stand his ground and punch with a fighter crouching and sailing missiles into his appendix and spleen like Marciano would do. Just watching Rocky at 46 wailing punches to Ali's midsection on that computer fight, ou can see his power was WAY WAY WAY more than Frazier's, and Ali would have withered under the assault. Nobody can beat Rocky Marciano. Ever. If Marciano ever landed a straight right onto Lennox Lewis' bicep, it would separate from the bone and Lewis would be out.
