Who were Marcianos 3 biggest opponents?

1. 6'4" 254 lb Humphrey Jackson

2. 6'3" 230lb Big Bill Wilson

3. 6'4" 220lb Johnny shkor

Pretty sure these three are the biggest. Of course someone will probably come along and say all of these guys records aren't good and beating them proves nothing on how Rocky would do against actual world class modern HW's and they are right. Still though pretty big boys for a guy who's supposed to have none of the speed necessary to handle them.

 

I just took it from Blockbuster49 at the boxrec forums post here and I'm pretty sure boxrec used to list him as 6"4":

Wow Big Humphrey lost to a Middleweight in his first fight!

Any chance he might not have been very good at boxing?

 

Why would he need speed to beat 2 journeymen and a joke fighter? Shkor had lasted just 1.34minutes against Walcott in his previous fight,he would retire for 4 years after the Marciano fight ,come back for one more fight then retire for good.
Wilson ,who was stopped 10 times ,was ruled out of the fight before it had really begun, he sustained a deep cut in his eyelid in the very 1st rd and the fight had to be halted.
No need to delve further into Jackson/Pennyworth, nothing positive would come out of it!

 

See exactly as I said it would happen.

 

It was a pathetic and blatant attempt to make a claim that Marciano could jive with super heavyweights,whether he could or not we will never now,what is certain is that beating 3 big nobodies proves jack sh*t!

Is that correct, or incorrect?

 

Extremely incorrect. I even said they prove nothing. Got to give these fighters some respect. Calm down no need for your insults.

 

Where have you been insulted ?

 

When you called part of my post pathetic. I consider that insulting.

 

Pretty sure he was referring to Reznick's original post...

 

These guys were total scrubs. The only reason their names are a passing familiarity is their use as some sort of rationalization that Marciano could hang with modern super heavies.

 

Oh, whoops. I was wrong then sorry Mcvey.

 

Bonecrusher Smith was better than those three guys.
