    Nope ... 2 cruisers, a middle weight and a hepatitis patient were fierce contenders the division has ever seen

    And Rocky has been proven at Elite level? Rocky's record is filled up to the brim with washed up have been's and bus drivers, but you of course are clueless and make yourself look like a total fool :lol:

    Who are they and are old were they? Rocky has wins over the best in the division who were still prime. Louis at the time was only 37.
    Who has Wlad beaten thats better than Charles? Who went up to Heavy Weight and cleand house after been avoided at LHW?
    bACK UP YOUR STATMENT.

    Rocky has 3 career defining wins- Lastraza, Charles, Wallcot. Wlad has none. Chales was never the same after Rocky.
    That question was for Ballster who ran back into the woodwork when he couldn't answer, after calling me a fool.

    Not the point. That was just 1 career defining win. Wlad has none. You bring forth, ****, half baked statments to me all the time.

    No real boxing fan would ever argue in favour of Wlad over The Rock, who once said he'd have to have an eyeball disslodged before he'd lose a fight.

    Rex Layne was HIGHLY thought of my friend. He was considered a future champion on his way up. Another in a long list that was ruined fighting Marciano.

    Mickey Walker was a middleweight and was 5'7", 170 pounds.....he knocked out large hwts some in the first round and fought to a draw with prime Jack Sharkey. So tell me again that Marciano would be unable to land on Wlads highly questionable chin?

    Rocky would rarely get beyond the jab and never get beyond the clinch.

    If anyone gets knocked out, it's rocky.

    When Rocky hits Wlads glass chin the fights over. He does not have the courage to continue after being seriously hurt. Ross Purity, a bum, knocked Wlad out.....or more accurately made him quit.

    Yes if wlad undertrains and doesn't have the fitness, rocky could stop him around 13 rounds.

    But we're talking peak for peak so I'm taking the wlad from the chagaev fight, ruthless and unflappable all night long.

    Since when is Jack Sharkey a large heavyweight?

    I think your English is good enough to know there is a distinct separation in that statement.

    I think Wlad would take Rocky out early, he'd be giving up like 60+lbs. That is a massive difference, out of the small heavy's i'd give Dempsey the best chance.

    Idea is...Walker was 5'7, 170 pounds and he knocked out hwts. Some in the first round. He also fought to a draw with hwt champion Jack Sharkey. Your entire "Marciano is so much smaller he could never hit Wlad on the chin" arguement is as false as any statement can be.

    Chins don't improve. The chin Wlad had against Purity, Brewster and Sanders is the same as he has today. Courage also does not change its inherit within a mans makeup. Rocky hits Wlad on the chin and he goes down in sections just like he did three times previously. Purity, Brewster and Sanders...all nobodies...KOed Wlad and of course also would Rocky Marciano.

    people say floyd runs and doesn't fight ... even a guy like floyd, who prides himself on his defensive skills and ability to come out of fights without taking much punishment, will trade and exchange with the opponent and won't just jab and grab


    wlad on the other hand is either hugging if not jabbing and jabbing if not hugging ... ive seen this guy nearly KO an opponent but started clinching because he moved into closer range and accidentally closed the distance ... and the other guy was against the ropes, helpless with his guard up ... even steward had to beg this heartless, cowardly clown to throw the right hand

    even steward admitted that most of the guys wlad fights are just there for the check and don't even believe that they can beat the man

    we've seen both Puritty and Brewster overcome this back pedaling outstretched arms GLASS by showing heart, grit and determination ... Marciano could do the same

    its clear that he doesn't have confidence in his chin and skill which is why he uses his reach to peck away
