I saw a wonderful computerized match up of Ali and Marciano.
Ali pounded Marciano for the entire fight. Marciano won.
The fight was acted out by Ali and Marciano, just before Marciano’s death in an aircraft accident.
Of course Marciano had nothing to say, and Ali, though he acted out his part very well, at the end objected, because a fighter as slow as Marciano could never have hit a fighter as fast as Ali.
It proved definitively who programmed the computer at that time.

Ali was, as Vito Corleone would say, a pimp. If Sonny Liston hadn't been bribed to throw the fight, he would have made mincemeat of The Big Mouth.
Maricano, from what my dad used to say, was a killer.
From the internet: Marciano is the only person to hold the heavyweight title and go untied and undefeated throughout his career. Marciano defended his title six times, against Jersey Joe Walcott, Roland LaStarza, Ezzard Charles (twice), Don Cockell, and Archie Moore.

Marciano was asked what he would have said if he had talked in the ring like what is not the fashion.

“This will be the last punch.”

Marciano got the end of his nose knocked loose, and the cartilidge flapped when ever he moved his head. Bled like a stuck pig. Got hammered again and again every round. Finally landed his first punch in the end of the last round.

KO. Marciano wins.

Amazing fight. Guy could hit like a ton of bricks.
