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

[C.J.Rock]

A 200lb featherfist runner vs a 185lb plodder puncher

Either of which could barely box

The stuff that dreams are made of LOL

The above comment proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that you do not have a clue about boxing. Maybe you should try knitting or crochet huh ?

Nah... I'm pretty sure I summed it up with stunning accuracy

"You see, that Clay fellow is very tricky. He will only fight in a 20' x 20' Ring. He likes to
spring around the ring like an Antelope. Hopping and bopping. Now I know he couldn't
hurt me, but in a Ring that size, my problem would be trapping him."

"He's like a 'sprinter' with those long legs and arms. And me, I'm like a Fullback, all
arms and elbows, and thick thighs. Just who would want to pay to see that fight. Not me."

[SlimTrae]

...of course he didn't say that.

Bill Paxton has a very strange habit of posting his opinions and trying to pass them off as quotes from other people.

He went as far as completely making up the outcome of a computerised fight between Ali and Max Schmelling complete with creepily fantasised descriptions if Ali being gruesomely punished and KO'd, before being completely exposed when I posted the ACTUAL dramatised radio broadcast recording of the fight (Ali knocking Schmelling down a few times and winning by a near shutout UD).

He appears to suffer from a severe case of Aspergers Syndrome, the symptoms all fit...

Obsessive
Goes off on tangents and doesn't pick up on social queues (ie: nobody is interested)
Unable to discuss anything
Detached from reality

But he makes it seem so real.

"You can tell I really said this because it's in speech marks"

Rocky Marciano

"Clay wouldn't have been popular a fighter in the 1940's and 1950's, because he's not
a fighter. He's what we call a 'Bird Boy'."

"Always flapping his wings and chirping with his beak. He might have gotten out of the
Ring in one piece, but the spectators who spent their good money to watch him fight
would have been pissed off."

"I'm sure they would have gotten ahold of him outside in the Parking Lot after the
bout, and beaten some sense into him."

You see Adam, I retired undefeated, meaning that I never lost a Professional bout.

I have my integrity and legacy. I could have come back to fight Ingemar Johansson,
and they wanted to give me half of Sweden.

I said no.

It's easy to say no, when you have integrity.

Only a 'clown' would come back to fight for money, when he knows he has no chance
in the world to win.

Get me some Japanese Wrestler to fight as well................

[THE THIRD MAN]

Marciano was the same height as Joe Frazier and look how much trouble Smokin' Joe caused Ali? I think it would've been a great fight.

Plus Marciano's right hand made Frazier's look like a feather duster.

Frazier's left hook made Rocky's feel like a slap in comparison.

Rocky was very tempted to make a come back and would have if his back was up to it. That is not integrity but common sense.

@Master you are wrong bro Archie Moore Joe Walcottr and ezzard Charles all said they were much more concerned about Rockies devastating left hook rather then his straight right hand which they felt was was overrated. It was his vicious left hook that annihilated Harry kid Matthews in the 4th round and nearly decapitated him. It was also he's vicious left hook which destroyed Joe Lewis. It was his left hook that finally knocked out Archie Moore not his straight right hand. And it was his left hook that put Don cockle down something that he could not do with his right hand. I don't know what you're smoking over there in Wolverhampton but whatever it is send some over here to me haha

Both Marciano and Frazier had enough power to knock out early Clay, if they could catch him flush.

The fully grown 70s Ali could have taken Marciano's shots same as Frazier's.

Marciano never fought let alone beat an opponent anywhere near as good as Clay! Yet Ali in his career managed to overcome some opposition that would knock Rocky simply straight out. This should be considered.
