Rocky Marciano vs Kubrat Pulev

At least he’d walk across the street to watch them fight.

If only we could get this same kind of passion when it’s the old school fighter getting the same treatment.

 

Dempsey-Willard and Sharkey-Carnera started playing in my head when you said all that

The only 2 differences at that Marciano is better than Sharkey and Dempsey, and Pulev is worse than Willard (perhaps better than the past prime version Dempsey fought) and Carnera

For a more recent one see Valuev vs Haye. Diminishing returns for weight advantage

 

Also:

And the most outrageous one yet:

And from another boxing forum:

"Coetzee was a nothing. Tate was a nothing."

 

Surely he will get booted soon.
He has no place on any boxing forum with his attitude towards, good, honest pro's.
The man is a Walter Mitty and it's encouraging to see a lot of comments on this thread are in agreement.

 

Good detective work Kev, thanks for taking the time for posting those quotes.

 

Oh give us a break! Marciano is better than Dempsey? Highly debatable! Pulev is worse than Willard and Carnera?GTF!

 

Willard would take Pulev to deep waters and knock him out

 

Apart from a washed up 37 years old Johnson,who did Willard ever do this to who was any good?

 

He looked notably better on film in said fight with Johnson then Pulev did against Wlad

 

He looked beater against a fat 37 years old exiled Johnson? He was behind after 20rds!He just outlasted the older, poorer conditioned man.

 

Wow, this might be the most toxic thread I've read on here.

 

Was going to say Haye v Valuev lol all throughout history you see it. Frazier v Buster is another one.

 

Anything to take Marciano down a few pegs. I’ll never understand the vile hatred for such a great champ. And some will say it’s not “hatred” but look at the size? Well other past greats don’t get this treatment. Where they look at every little hiccup of a career. No one ever mentions that ali was almost sparked by a 186 pound man and would have been had his corner not bailed him out. No one points out the dubiousness of other champs defenses as a knock on them. It’s an absolute joke and something you’d think wouldn’t occur on a classic forum site. And Ali shouldn’t be criticized for that it’s boxing in the HW division especially. Anyone can have a bad night. No one is invincible and no ones record is perfect. But to say marciano couldn’t beat this C fighter is a waste of time to even argue. Just feeding the trolls at this point. There have been several ATGs at his height this shouldn’t even be a debate.

 

Uh... no.
