If I could control time this is one fight that would be in my top 5 to set up. DAMN!!!! Can you just imagine this one??! Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit. Inspired by talk of Irresistible force and immovable object on the General Discussion forum. This one would be an explosive battle. First instinct is to pick Louis but we must remember that even a prime Louis had a shaky chin and Rocky, if nothing else, hit like a MOFO.
My first and only instinct is to pick Louis. Even the corpse that used to be Joe was giving Marciano problems until the 6th. Prime Louis takes Marciano apart and stops him circa 10-12.
To be fair to Marciano he got better after that fight It's a great match but I'd wager my money on Louis It's no sure thing though, Marciano was a beast
Oh, don't get it twisted, Rocky was a beast. But in prime Louis, we're talking about the best offensive machine in boxing history. There's a rather BIG gap in handspeed between Rocky and prime Louis, and ultimately that would play a huge factor.
