Do people actually think Marciano would beat Ali?

Ali would be a big favourite definitely but Marciano was a great champion too, would it really be a huge upset if he won?

Yes, it would have been a HUGE upset. Come on.

I think the fact they had complete opposite styles make most people pick Ali and they think he would give Rocky a boxing lesson, I don't think it would be that straight forward. I imagine a Mayweather v Cotto type of fight....but better and closer.

Ali was not only technically superior and *much* faster; he was also *much* bigger. Marciano was barely a cruiserweight -- he was 5'11" and always weighed around 180. Ali was 6'3" and always weighed around 220.

This would not have been a close fight (or a fair fight). Give it a rest.

Yes I would have expected Ali to win but Marciano would have had a chance.
