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

[Bill Paxtom]

Rocky Marciano

There is no way that Cassius could hit me. He was too tall, and I was way down here.

He would only be able to peck out with light left-jabs, and his right-hand would have been
neutralized.

If he came in too close, I would be able to deliver my 'ball-smashers' just under his
belt-line.

Rocky would have slaughtered Henry Cooper.

Trivia

Why have we never seen Rocky Marciano and Lou Costello together...... ?

Could they be, the same person.

[Max Power]

Rocky would have slaughtered Henry Cooper.

And that's why it's plausible that Rocky might knock that little whippet out.

He got smashed by Doug Jones, another good LHW of the day also.

We should be able to concur with some certainty that the Ali who beat Foreman could have easily slaughtered MArciano.

If Cassius went back to the Ropes, I would have had his 'liver' for dinner.

Bill must have wet his trousers looking at that picture.

You do know they were acting?

Rocky Marciano

Cassius was very quick, but was not very smart. People always confuse quickness with
ring smarts.

He dropped his guard a lot, and was any easy target for the left-hook. Again don't
confuse quickness, with brains.

If you're a 'sucker' for a left-hook, with all that speed, quickness, reflexes and height,
how can you be smart.

[Master]

Ali had a lot of technical weaknesses but he was still hard to hit never mind beat. Rocky would have been cut to ribbons.
