    Just all of rockys opponents at the top that he faced were mostly jabbers....

    I feel that's the weapon they used most against him . and thats all they could use.

    Holmes being a jabber i feel that would fit into marcianos experience with them . find a way past the jab.

    Not saying rocky can beay larry ..

    Just saying the style fits

    Well, 1980 Holmes was superior to the Ezzard Charles and Jersey Joe Walcott that Marciano faced...somehow I doubt many here would vehemently disagree with that.

    And the Louis who fought Marciano damn sure wasn't the one who knocked out Schmeling. And wasn't anywhere near a prime Larry Holmes.

    He didn't know how to get past 37years old Louis' jab,he said he just had to take it and ,if you look at his face the next morning he did.

    That’s just not accurate. Have you seen the Walcott, Moore, and Charles fights (recently)?

    This is bs and you know it. Marciano wasn’t prime for Louis and you can see it plain as day. For someone who has all his fights and read all these books you’re not very honest on the subject. By the way he countered his jab well enough to knock him out pretty bad.

    Was Louis prime for Marciano?LOL
    He didn't counter his jab, Louis ran out of gas and his legs gave way on him,making him a sitting duck on the ropes.

    " I couldnt avoid his jabs I just had to take them". Direct ,verified quote from Marciano

    No he wasn’t prime but his jab worked quite well.
