    I think so. He kept his left hand too low.

    As vulnerable as he was the last time you asked.

    Everyone is vulnerable to a good right hand.

    It's a basic element of physics on which the existence of boxing rests.

    It's like a football flying through the air when kicked. Without that brute fact Football would cease to work as a game.

    No

    What twelve threads? There are nine threads about Marciano on the front page, two of them started by you.

    I feel he's improving. A couple more fights and who knows.

    Hell, he was vulnerable to bad right hands.

    The nature of his style was such, that he was only ever on miscalculation away from getting his brains scrambled.

    That was always a bit of a wild card.

    Having ones hands low does not mean you are open to right hands.
