Marciano deserves a lot of respect

Would it? Usyk is already significantly bigger than Marciano and almost all of his top opponents.

 

It would prove that a sub 200 pound man could be champion in the modern era.

 

But he's not really sub-200. How much does he weigh when he steps into the ring?

 

Rock did what he does best , battles through taking the punches and determined to get his own in. A large number of guys behind on points, face battered would have given u but rock was always trying to land that finishing punch. Can't fault him for that

 

Good stuff .who dropped Tyson?

 

He has regularly weighed in below 200 pounds. If he then goes on to defeat the current title claimants it will be very interesting.

 

I think it was Greg Page. This sparring session ocurred a few weeks before the Douglas bout.

 

yes, it was. It was filmed and shown during the broadcast of the Doulgas fight.

 

A tall, fast guy with a 78" reach is not a short, slow guy with a 67" reach.

 

I think this might be the most factually correct post ever posted on this site.

 

I don't know how you really measure it, I mean they both will go through hell to win fights. Some other fighters have may just as much determination to win but they suck. They don't have these "come from the brink" victories on their ledger not because of their lack of heart, but lack of talent.

 

If he hit so hard why did it take him so long to knock out Archie Moore?

 

If Foreman hit so hard, why couldn't he KO small Peralta.
And don't divulge into supposed reasoning and logic, please spare me that. He was small, case closed. Foreman weak.

All of the little guys who lasted 6,7,8 or more rounds against Marciano's furious, relentless all-out assaults are anomalies.

 

How can Ali be tough, when he got dropped in the first round against unknown Sonny Banks?

Can't tell if they simply don't realize their hypocrisy...
