Well,
He was 7" taller, and would have out-weighed Rocky by 40 lbs.
A slight British advantage, don't you think.

No maybe about it, one clean punch and Rocky would have had his nose busted. Let's face it Rocky had no defence.Maybe NotWell,

Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

Ali toyed with the best hev division in history.
Marciano struggled in the worst.

I agree. Ali would not have connected one jab on Marciano.
He would've connected several hundred jabs on Marciano.

Look i love Rocky and all but his face would of looked like a bloody Vag after Ali pounded his face. I mean the speed and the reach would be to much of a disadvantage Rocky not a heavyweight really. I mean Ali had a 15 inch reach advantage and about 20 pounds on him not same weight class.

Re: Rocky Marciano on Ali: "In my prime I woulda killed him"
Yup.
The man struggled with a post Baroudi Ezzard Charles in a fight that would have been stopped in any era that follwed and was thorougly outboxed from pillar to post by a 50 year old Walcott. The punch he landed on Walcott to save the day would have never landed on Ali because Ali never hunched over and walked into a punch like that in his lifetime. And the mary's that he landed late in the Charles fight would have found nothing but air against Ali. I respect what Rocky accomplished and all but damn....
