    Moore by the way was 38 not 40. And if you watch the fights Moore and Walcott weren’t fighting like “Old” men. Walcott hit his prime late and Archie was probably at his best stretch of a fighter (although slightly slower then prime years).

    CHINNY CHARLES AHAHAHHA

    I rank Walcott 12th and Charles 14th, and I rank Tyson 10th. I'm not saying they'd beat him, im saying it'd be a good fight fight.

    Charles had excellent defense and Walcott has the accuracy and crafty movement to keep Tyson on his toes

    rocky seemed to have that extra level. If he did lose once, he'd win rematch

    Q How many punchers did Marciano face?
    Q How many hitters of class who were modern sized heavies and prime did he face?

    Shkor was at the end of the trail and had not been ranked for 3 years,he retired after this fight ,get real here!
    Tyson was a month off 38 years old when he lost to Williams really stupid comparison on your part.

    Tyson did not fight from 91 to95 would you like to speculate how Marciano would have been affected by a similar layoff?
    Painful!

    Moore said he was 38 ,his Mother, who should know, and had no reason to lie said he was 40.
    Moore in a taped interview at his home in 1970 stated he had no legs for the Marciano fight.

    Walcott didn't hit his prime late ,he was better against Louis than Rocky years later,he looked so good against Rocky because Rocky's style ,or lack of it was the perfect foil for his.

    Reminds me of the Eddie Murphy skit about strutting Italian americans after seeing the movie Rocky.

    If you truly believe the kd of Marciano was a "slip" you should stop watching boxing and begin watching wrestling.Frequent referee ? I think he was the third man 3 times in Marciano fights.
    ps Why do you keep putting these meaningless quotes up, they make no point what so ever ,only confirm your infatuation for Marciano.

    A census put the dispute to rest over Archie’s age. Furthermore Walcott looked plenty fresh in there first fight. As far as the knock against fighting older fighters the average age of the current crop of “champions” opponents is far higher. Hell AJ is fighting a 39/40 year old tonight.

    Source for this? I see Dec 13 1916 a US census is the source. If I’m wrong I’d like to know.

    Marciano didn’t start seriously fighting till 25. Dare to speculate how Tyson would have performed? Considering most think he was out of his prime by then?
