but he woul clobber them all" Who was he talking about?
The indesructable punching machine - Rocky Marciano! Basilio himself was a smaller version of Rocky without quite the P4P punch. Basilio also blew up the theory that a good big man always beats a good small man when he beat Ray Robinson. That fight could be considered a preview of what would happen in a Marciano/Ali fight (except P4P speaking - Marciano hit harder than Basilio, and Robinson hit harder than Ali).
Probably Marciano but Frazier would put a hurt on alot of today's big men. Bonavena and Quarry also would put them out.
