    We get it. Guys who have their AARP cards couldn't keep Rocky from closing the gap.

    I've seen his fights ad nauseum. I've seen the good and the bad. I don't need a fan boy reading things that are not there.

    The problem is you know so much that isn’t so.

    The problem is that i watch thousands of boxers, have seen great boxing and know great boxing and i don't focus on one fighter and make a crusade out of labeling his weaknesses as strengths.

    You spend your whole day down playing a fighter you know nothing about. Figured you could take five min to actually learn something before you spout off. Most people here watch a lot of boxing

    I've been reading about and watching Marciano since 1982. I've researched and read many hundreds of articles on him, from both magazines and newspapers. Contemporary accounts, mind you. Not some glory hole fodder by Sugar or Merchant.

    Get lost with your lightweight bullish×t.

    Did you no good as you are often confused as to how someone of Marcianos stature and skin color could possibly beat bigger men. I also don’t care for Bert or Merchant so don’t deflect. You don’t know it all. A little self reflection and learning something new occasionally is a good thing. Get over yourself.

    Louis was doing all right until his 37 years old legs went on him, and he was 6'1.5" Moore didn't have great footwork at the age of 38/40, he said himself his legs were gone when he fought Marciano.

    Don Cokkell. #2 rated contender legitimately earned his shot.

    You have to ask Seamus that question as he has brought up little white Boys not being able to do certain things in the past.
