i dont agree! rockys era was tougher.alot harder the bread fighters not boxers

even ali admits rocky was a piece of work

tyson cant be compared to rocky

tyson had power......................goo­d head movement offensive!

rocky had power,heart,capacity to take damage excellent chin.and massive endurance

if tyson couldnt score an early knockout and took a few he barely made it to the cards

not a complete fighter at all.but i do agree with you about frazier,george and ali !!!

@djvenigjeki 42 year old Moore almost outboxed prime Marciano and even dropped him. Only thing Marciano has on Ali is power. Ali is faster,more durable, through combinations where as Marciano through 1 punch at a time not to mention he only wieght 187lbs meaning he was a cruiserwieght. His era was weak you can put Foreman, Fraizer or Ali in his era and they would retire undefeated. Marcianos case is the same as Tyson, no real opposition and came in at the right time

@djvenigjeki Whats so smart about a guy relying on pure toughness and punching power to win? Marciano comes out swing thats it your telling me thats smarter then Ali when he used the ropes to reduce the power of foremans punches? Yup he went undefeated but then again who did he actually beat? 37 year old Luois? 42 year old Moore? He fought in a weak era. The super fight was made in 1970 which had alot of racism towards black people and it wasnt actually a real fight.

@sparx2k9 i told my P.O for klitschko and if you see the documentary the super fight you will understand you must be a fool marciano has the greatest stamina that a man can have he is the only HW to go undefeated through his career his smarter than ali he is more powefull the only thing that ali overpasses him is reach and being tall something that never was problem for marciano

All of this arguing is making everyone dumber. Facts:

1) Marciano and Ali were never knocked out in a fight

2) Marciano and Ali never fought each other, it was for a PR event, a computer simulation. They had one video of Ali getting KO'ed and one of Marciano getting KO'ed. Do you really think either fighter would let the other fighter KO them for a PR stunt??? Over a period of a couple days, they were asked to ACT out every possible scenario to stick into a computer.

@djvenigjeki many pros? Are you talking how Marciano just tanked punches and through haymaker after haymaker? I mean its not a bad idea since it worked just look at the guys record. I like the Klitchkos and all but what you have to understand is that this era of HW boxing is very weak. The Klitchkos have never faced anyone whos caliber was as good as Foreman, Fraizer, Ali, Holmes and Nortan. Having a high win ratio doesnt mean much when your opponents are crap.

Muhammad Ali is a smart fighter. Along with his stamina that's a tough thing to beat. I myself is more of a brawler, like forward oriented similar to Marciano's but i am afraid of the smart fighters. So, I would give it to Muhammad.

Listen to Clay talk shit. He's already punch drunk here in 1976

@TheKenTerry marciano knew one direction: foward. he'd hit you in your elbow, chin, guts, shoulders lol marciano was a fucking punching machine. he'd have beaten cassius clay to a pulp.
