I favour Marciano.

NOw I like and respect Quarry, but at the same
time I think he often is a tad over rated as far
as skills go. His heart, character and courage
far surpass many other men that have stepped
inside the ropes...just he does not have the skills
and firepower to mix it up with the legends of the
sport.

I think Marciano gets the stoppage win some where
in the 6th round. Too much blood from Quarry leaks
onto both men and the canvas.

A good fight no doubt while it lasts.

A better fight than most would imagine. I would pick Marciano by tko on cuts very late in a very competitive fight. Quarry has the ability to outbox the Rock, but I believe he comes up short more often than not.

Marciano better hope Quarry cuts.

I agree that Quarry could outbox the Rock, plus hit back hard.

Quarry has a better chance in this fight than most would assume, especially a 10 rounder, to my way of thinking.

If Frazier could crack Quarry hard and beat him both times they fought, I can invision Marciano doing the same.
