In December 1962, a Ring magazine poll of 40 boxing experts had Jack Dempsey rated the #1 Heavyweight of all time with Joe Louis 2nd, Jack Johnson 3rd and Marciano 7th. Charley Rose, a historian, and John McCallum's Survey of Old Timers, (survey of a group of historians and writers), rated Marciano at #8 and #9 of greatest Heavyweights of all time.
Experts claim Rocky was wild and crude. Ali would have methodically taken him apart.

@lazur1 You can play with words all day long. In the end it would have been speed and power against power. The speed had the upper edge.

@stephen3921Difference is that Ali wouldn't need to -make- Rocky -look- slow..Rocky -was- slow. Ali'd make Rocky look like he was standing still!

Rocky had one of the best chins and hands of stone that could knock down a Red Wood Tree. But in an actual fight against Ali it would have been a bloody mess. Ali would have hit Rocky with twice as many punches and they would have all connected. Just think of what he did against Sonny Liston who really had he power of Rocky that is for sure. Sonny was made to look slow and the same would have happended to Rocky.

Rocky take that beaver off the top of your head

if RM and Ali really fought, it would of been like a real life version of Balboa vs Apollo Creed. heart, chin and insane power vs speed, skill, and carisma. definitely would of been a street fight.

@robetrb The best BOXER? I don't understand. Joe was a better boxer; he kept his hands up and didn't waste punches. You seem to know that, but your words are confusing.

@RNOB Ali had SKILL, NOT technique. There's a big difference:Technique is the RIGHT way of doing things. Ali did almost everything technically WRONG, (low defensive hands & pulling straight back from punches being the main two), but his skill and speed made his technical deficiencies work in his favor.
i hope no one thinks this is real
