Marciano VS the 2 Lennox Lewis conquerors

its boxing, not powerlifting. Joe frazier was an ATG HW who would kill Rahmmy inside a few rounds, yet he struggled with powerlifts.

if boxing was powerlifting then jon paul sigmarsson would have handled mike tyson like a 15 year old. Him dying of a heart embolism in his twenties tells you all you need to know about how he'd do in a cardio sport.


why am i needing to explain it you? thats what i dont get.

 

I mean physically, it is boxing but marciano was very physical he was a street brawler he was no einstein of the ring. (Any strong powerlifter handle a boxer like a rag doll in the clinch).jon pal was more a strongman but anyway

 

Marciano looked like a midget against Ali, against Lewis he would look like a small child.

Does Rahman look like he ate all the pies to you?

i meant the OP rahmans already got his added weight

 

Rahman was a particularly strong heavyweight ,the point he made was valid.

 

yet boxing is about punching ability, not benchpressing ability.

 

Boxing isn't,and never has been solely about punching ability if it was.Willie Pep Jim Corbett,Tommy Loughran,Jack Sharkey,Chris Byrd,Jimmy Young and hundreds of others would not have been successful.
Marciano was usually stronger than his opponents ,stronger and in better condition .Archie Moore said he was by far the strongest man he ever fought, not the hardest puncher he named Durelle and Sheppard as better,Cockell also said he had met harder punchers but none who threw so consistantly hard[conditioning].
Against Rahman, Marciano would be conceding3.5 inches in height ,and over 40lbs of muscle, plus 14 inches of reach so he isnt winning this from distance, and I say Rahman was stronger,therefore Marciano would not have the success inside he had with some of his opponents.

 

Then i imagine that you would pick a guy like meldrick taylor to beat mariuz pudiadozky in a fight for example(when he was active)

 

Well.. I think that it is pretty evident .. Rahman was a much stronger guy.. And hits harder too.taking in count his type of body and size i don't think that there are a huge difference between the hitting power of foreman and rahman

 

pure boxing, of course.

 

Would you pick robinson over george chuvalo?

 

boxing is about skill, not benchpress.

strength can be an advantage, one of many.
