    Agreed.

    Agreed.

    Disagree on Marciano. He wore his opponents down more so than having the power you speak of.
    I'm not saying he didn't hit hard, but he's not in the same league as Foreman.

    I don't disagree with the assertion that Marciano was an attrition puncher, but his power has a positively unsettling quality to it.

    He doesn't just stop people, he numbs them!

    TAKE IT EZ WOULD YA LOL! I WOULD LIKE TO SEE YOU AND MARCIANO IN A COMPUTER FIGHT !
    NO I'VE HEARD PRO AND CON ABOUT MARCIANO MY WHOLE LIFE, I TOO WAS ONE OF THE ONES WHO DEEMED HIM A LITTLE OVERRATED , AND WOULD HAVE A HELL OF A TIME BEATING SAY 70'S HEAVYWEIGHTS FOR EXAMPLE, THAT BEING SAID , THE GUY WAS 49-0 AND AN UNREAL 43 KNOCKOUTS TO GO WITH IT, HE DEFEATED LIKE 6 NUMBER ONE CONTENDERS FOR THE TIME AT THE TIME. THATS A HELLUVA RECORD TO ARGUE ABOUT.

    FORGIVE MY CAPS, I LOST MY LEFT EYE SIGHT, AND TIRED OF STRUGGLING WITH IF ITS A CAP OR NOT , Marciano deserves his place on they alltime list sure., anybody would with that record. FOREMAN-LYLE BEST FIGHT OF ALLTIME PERIOD.

    as far as 180 pounders go, I've never seen The Great Muhammad Ali hurt more by anyone other than one London left Hook from "Enry Cooper"

    For some odd reason he thinks because some of Laynes teeth were fake that doesn’t count and I don’t think he “broke” Lastarza arm but popped all the blood vessels in them and he needed surgery.

    Rocky Marciano and many of his opponents may be small compared to heavyweights of other eras. But the man made a career of knocking out guys who were at least his size or bigger and still ended up with the highest KO percentage. That says enough about his power
