And who takes this one and why?

First of all, great question once again Toughguy, and great answers from everybody so far.

To answer you question, yes! No doubt about it! Surely it would be the ultimate dream slugfest between two of the best swarmers of all time. Let's take a look at their records real quick.

Rocky Marciano.

Draws: 0

Knockouts: 40

Best wins: Joe Louis, Jersey Joe Walcott (twice), Roland La Starza, Ezzard Charles (twice), Archie Moore.

Joe Frazier.

Knockouts: 27

Best wins: Muhammad Ali, Bob Foster, Oscar Bonavena, Jimmy Ellis (twice), Jerry Quarry (twice), Buster Mathis

The fight.

The way I see this fight going is very simple. Both men are swarmers, this would be a classing swarming match and slugfest. Both men will keep throwing heavy punches to head and trading hard blows to the body. It will go back and forth all night, all 15 rounds will be a toe-to-toe battle filled with blood and sweat. These fighters are very similar, but I think Marciano has the edge in power, so his shots will be the more significant punches throughout the fight. Still, both men are equal in heart, and none of them will give up. I see both men being down somewhere in the fight, getting back up, never quitting and giving it there all until the final bell, and it will be Rocky Marciano by split decision.

Marciano SD15.

Frazier could win the next time they fought in a close war as well.

I dont see Marciano being able to survive Fraziers hook, and his head was there to catch every time Frazier threw it.

Remember Rocky hit hard as a 180 lb fighter, but he wasnt a one punch killer. Frazier was a machine that pushed every second and was an excellent puncher with GREAT head movement.

great fight

I honestly could see this being a classic.I say Rocky would win by late ko.reason why is rockys heart and work rate.Ali onc e said that after sparring with rocky in there fake fight in 69 that Rocky hit a lot harder than you think.
