Was Marciano slow?

LOL at 09:44. He throws a punch and misses and he's so quick he hits the deck before the counter lands.

 

You didn't get the teeniest sense I might have been joking, then.

 

If every other post is describing him as slow and you are the only one saying different, is it just possible that in this case the overwhelming majority may be right?
Can someone show me where he is fast,not out of context quotes from Reznik, I mean footage.

He wasn't fast enough to catch them when they were fresh, he relied on an incessant barrage of punches to slow them down to his speed.That's why he was behind against Walcott and lost 4 of the first 6 rds to Lastarza.

"Trying to knock the challenger out with one punch, the 29-year-old Marciano was over-eager and awkward. He lunged, butted, hit below the belt, on the break and after the bell. Once, he swung so wildly that he missed and slipped clumsily to the canvas. Outboxing the champion and avoiding his blows, LaStarza managed to win four of the first six rounds. In the seventh, Marciano changed his tactics, started aiming at LaStarza's body as well as his head in an attempt to wear the challenger down. He succeeded."

 

That would include the reporters who were at the second Lastarza fight then.

Fake news, obviously. Those idiot reporters either didn't know what they were looking at or they had some kind of agenda. If only Marciano had had Rez there to school then on some of the subtle nuances of wild swing-and-falls...

Ever see Dempsey do that?

 

Boxiana doesn't know what it has missed!

 

No worries. You're not the first not to get my jokes and I doubt you'll be the last. All the best.

 

hell no, he wasn't slow. he was a human windmill.

 

No one claimed Foreman had "subtle skills ,"and "underated defence" ,or that he was," fast".
