    I already did. The slugger wears the jabber down over 15

    I never said marciano wins just said the style suits Marciano

    Having he proved it before against movers.

    Not to mention a trained grappler who was very strong himself and was as tough as old boots.

    Well Larry and especially Ali had more weapons than just the jab and their jabs were on another level compared to an old Holmes and Walcott. This is a very strange way to argue the point in favor of Rocky vs those 2.

    Simply against holmes. Ali is a different story

    Holmes' jab was so beyond the Charles, Louis, and Walcott that Marciano faced...no comparison.

    Holmes had an uppercut and a laser right hand as well. It usually caused major swelling and cuts after the jab turned his opponents face into wet drywall.

    Larry also had an iron chin and amazing recovery. Even if he gets past the jab, then what...? Holmes doesn't just fall apart if he can't outjab you.

    I'm disagreeing with you and prepared to give the reasons why I think stylistically Holmes should be favoured over Marciano.

    Speed
    Height advantage of 4.5inches
    Accuracy
    Skill
    Reach advantage of 12 inches!
    All time great jab
    All time great right uppercut ,the antidote for the short crouching swarmer.
    Phenomenal recuperative powers.
    Thirty pounds weight advantage.

    Now its your turn to give your reasons why I'm wrong!

    No you didn't give your reasons for your conclusion.
    Do you think it's unreasonable to ask you for them?

    This is a forum Mate, we often hold opposing views, and get asked to explain why we hold them,that's how it works.
    Or at least it's how it is supposed to work!

    Wow. I don't know what to tell you then. Those guys weren't "mostly jabbers" by any stretch of the imagination.
