Picture of Sonny Liston and Rocky Marciano

You are ridiculous.

 

Some people need to believe he was Odin,Thor ,Paul Bunyon and Superman wrapped up in a FIVE FEET TEN AND ONE HALF INCH, ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY FIVE POUNDS package!

 

He had over 100 fights on his clock, and had lost 2 of his last 4 fights!

 

What has Lyle, Morrison or any on that list got to do with you claiming Williams hit harder than Marciano?

 

It is fact you ridiculous man!

 

Give me a list of the fighters Williams knocked out, tell me on that list who Marciano wouldn't knock out.

 

Marciano said he blacked out for a couple of seconds in the Moore fight.Source. Marciano in an interview with Peter Wilson,If you black out when you are knocked down you are in trouble.Marciano also started to walk to the ropes to receive a standing 8 count which was waived for title fights so lets not pretend he wasn't hurt.Source .Same interview. Marciano was cut in all his major fights and some less important ones.imo Liston's jab would rip his face to pieces and, if he got past that he would be manhandled inside and uppercut to death.

 

He blacked out yet was up in an instant on strong legs, didn't look like he was in trouble at all.

 

You answer my question then I'll address yours Citing an ancient Liston of the Leotis Martin fight as proof that Marciano would ko Sonny is the most asinine thing I expect to encounter on this forum this month and that includes Ras Al Guhly's fatuous posts!

 

You're one of the bunch that believes, "he would find a way to win," against everyone. No point talking to you on this subject.

 

I asked you the question first, if Marciano was active at that age he would have stopped Martin.

 

Full of it!

 

No not against everyone, he would have been battered senseless by someone like George Foreman. Liston showed he didn't have the bottle when things got tough and had a chin that could be cracked. I believe Marciano would have a great chance at exposing these weaknesses.

 

Liston looked like he was full of concussion afterwards.

 

Liston went 8 rounds with a broken jaw to lose by a split decision,after having his nose broken by Cleveland Williams he rallied to ko him. That's your theory blown clean out of the water.Your opinion of Liston is based on 2 fixed fights and on when he was in his 40's.Crass stupidity!
