They can't point to his losses because he has none. So they try to find abstract weaknesses, and exploit them full screen. However, their intention are impure, which is why they obliviously run into stark contradictions. Such as creating a hit piece thread on Rocky for getting knocked down in the first round, despite Joe Louis and Muhammad Ali doing that same exact thing against worse opponents. Someone looking to genuinely assess Marciano simply wouldn't overlook something so obvious. Junk thread aimed for the classic communities equivalent of tabloid readers.
Can't tell if you simply don't realize the weakness of your argument. A gif of a brief, unrepresentative moment is an extremely weak counter to the fact that many small fighters went many rounds with Marciano, including some who ate plenty of flush, fully leveraged punches and brutal combinations. Archie Moore (188lbs): 8 rounds Don Cockell (a flabby 205lbs): 9 rounds Ezzard Charles (185lbs): 15 rounds LaStarza (185lbs): 11 rounds Lee Savold (200lbs): 6 rounds Willis Applegate (196lbs): 10 rounds Keene Simmons (200lbs): 8 rounds Buovino (200lbs): 10 rounds LaStarza (187): 10 rounds Vingo (189): 6 rounds Ted Lowry (178): 10 rounds Don Mogard (187): 10 rounds
Peralta was 197lbs and 6 foot in 116 fights he was stopped 3 times, once on a cut eye ,once as a lhvy and once by Foreman He fought plenty of bangers and even and as old fighter Lyle could not stop him in 2 tries
How is my argument weak? Did you see the gif in the link? Because that wasn't even a boxing clip. It was a gif of Jim Carry in the movie Dumb & Dumber. embarrassing
You say "hit piece," I say revealing piece of footage. What am I missing? Do you feel that the clip and commentary were misleading?
And Sonny Banks is way less formidable of an opponent than Walcott. Are you arguing that Ali's knockdown is more acceptable than Marciano's?
Jack Dempsey got KO'd in 1 round. Yet the Dempseyistas have the rose colored glasses surgically attached to their heads lol Criticizing Marciano for a knockdown in a fight where he came back and scored arguably the greatest KO of all time hahaha oh boy.
Of course I didn't watch your gif--I assumed from the context that it was the Ali knockdown. Unfortunately, I don't have time to help you right now, so if you don't get why your argument is weak, you might just be out of luck.
Who "criticized" him for the knockdown? And what are we supposed to do, ignore it? Do we understand him better by just watching his ko highlights instead? You classic boxing cheerleaders/hero worshippers are the worst!
