    Uysk by knockout. If Ted Lowry a natural 160-170 pound fighter could have Marciano in serve trouble and had to toy with him then the 6'3 200 pound overrated Usyk would stop him.

    At the moment I would have to say Marciano, but Usky is a work in progress, with a very high potential ceiling!

    I suspect Usyk's height, range and footwork would be too much for Marciano but the Rock wouldn't make it easy. He would not make the silent agreement. He would take chances and keep swinging for the fences.

    Usky has 16 total pro bouts and over and above this is untested. Seamus who proclaimed Kovalev as better than Dempsey, Louis and Marciano should learn from his many mistakes. Never make a novice untested fighter a favorite vs a proven all time great. Only fanboys react as such. I will say this ....Usky does well until he is hit and then it becomes a very different fight.

    16-0 and COMPLETELY untested. If you believe this is what it takes to be considered an all time great you have oh so much to learn.

    Again, please show me where I said, in not the most obvious act of taking a ****, that Kova was better than Dempsey, Louis or The Rock.

    Show me or you are an absolute coward who hides behind baseless accusations.

    How does that label sit with you? Coward. Is that the title you want? Respond please.

    Again, you are a proven intellectual coward who ascribes assertions to individuals which they did not make. You must live with that badge, not me. Maybe you can enlighten us as to how that feels, day to day, hour to hour, minute to minute, knowing you are owned and have not the fibre in your being to respond.

    Good day.

    I said, Good day!

    Marciano also lost to 180 pound Roland LaStarza and got a gift win. Marciano lost to 160 to 180 pound Ted Lowry and got a gift win. Marciano best wins were against old super middleweight by modern standards Archie Moore, past his prime 175 Ezzard Charles, old past his prime 190 pound Jersey Joe Walcott, and old 195 pound Joe Louis. None of these guys were nearly as skilled any even a average modern skilled fighter. These guys were good for the 1930's, 40's and 50's standards. By today's standards these guys would be consider completely unskilled. Usyk by knockout in a few rounds.
