Re: Roland LaStarza ~ "Rocky Marciano Would Have Destroyed Cassius Clay, And Ruined H
Let's be serious here..
I'm as harsh on Ali as anybody can be or so I thought. I have downrated all his qualities like his chin and all that at times.
But fact is, the guy managed to withstand George bloody Foreman at one point! I think he can handle a little rough housing from Rocky!
Yeah sure, Clay was not able to keep aggressive opponents at bay, but he was able to win out in the exchanges with most of them all the same.
Frazier, another boxer who wears the brunt of my idealogical axe, would have hit harder than Rocky in my opinion and applied more pressure also.
Marciano despite being smaller, was not as fast as Clay/Ali. And he blocked punches with his face also!
Respect for Rocky but he's definitely the underdog.
Who the hell is LaStarza to claim that anyway! More like he WANTS that to be true.
