Marciano vs Floyd Patterson 1956?? vs Sonny Liston 1957-8?

[Dark Lord Al]

Liston is a bad fight for rocky , he is much bigger with massive reach advantages.
Rocky beats Floyd .

I don't know some one with warse reach than Rocky Joe Louises jab hasn't stopped him so why will Listons? For size Liston wasn't bigger than Joe he has only langer arms.
With his size and going that low to hit Marciano is really difficult task! The only weapon of Floyd, his left hook, will make him go in the power of Rocky... Plus as Archie Moore said it was almost imposiible to land a left hook on Rocky. I see the fight Floyd running the first round and the second when he tries something he gets KO fast!

Marcinao was tough to beat evn at age 45, ask Ali who said his arms were black and blue and shoulders sore for several ays after Marcinao simply toyed with him in the computr match.

Sonny beat Rocky so does Floyd.

[Hulk]

Liston was too big and too powerful for Marciano.

Patterson was quick and a good boxer, but as others have said, he had a weak chin.

Ingemar Johanason was a bit of a one hit wonder, so gotta favor Marciano over those two.

[brocktonblockbust]

liston was bigger thats true, and very powerful. but do you think liston could take it to the body the way Marciano would deliver the punishment? i think Rocky hit much harder than Liston.

I've never been that sold on Liston as a great fighter, maybe because I've really only seen his later career when he didn't look like much. He lost to Marty Marshall early on. I don't know if he could deal with being pressured by a guy that didn't believe that he could lose.
