The truth is who won? Marciano's courage to get himself into shape, and Ali's sudden show of humility. Marciano died right afterwards and Ali was humbled by that fact and didn't care any more. In America, Marciano. From what I hear the british said b u l l s h i t, and Ali won over there.

I think Joe Louis said it best, quite silently, when he did something quite unusual for men from any age. He walked up to Marciano's casket and quietly kissed it and walked away. Just my thoughts. Give me a sad click if you think I am wrong.
