    Marciano is so undervalued on this forum. There’s hardly one poster showing him proper respect.

    Rocky wins. Outworks him to the body and head. Rockys head would be so low ali would really struggle punching that low. Prime Ali 64-67 was lighter and had an untested chin. Rocky would definitely test that. And the 70-75 Ali didn’t have the legs to evade suzie. Marciano beats Frazier in a classic if they fought. And look what Frazier did to Ali. Won the fotc in 71 then lost a very close decision in 74 that many people thought joe won. Then was up on the cards in Manila until his corner stopped it. Frazier like Norton has a shout for beating Ali 3 times.

    It kind of sounds like you look forward to some kind of “coming out”...not sure that is entirely healthy.

    Anyone who disagrees with you is either hateful or not telling the truth. Perhaps you could address why this is?

    I ... I don't even know what this is supposed to mean.

    Not anyone, just you, and a select few. Their are other posters I disagree with, and I get along with them just fine.

    Plus...in a fight against Rocky Marciano...Ali would have to fight 3 minutes of every round...something he almost never did! No time to wave to the crowd...talk...recite poetry....he'd be in for the fight of his life...backing up all night long! There was an article...and the writer wanted to know..."Dempsey didn't back up to win...Louis didn't back up to win...Marciano didn't back up to win...yet Clay continually backs up...throws punches with not much behind them...and yet...still get the decisions?"

    You do realize there is a quote feature?

    Carnera "clearly" looked better than Vitali and was a better practitioner of the sweet science.

    Do you just want attention or something?

    I'm starting to think this Is the case because you ducked my last reply yet you keep replying to me in other threads. You don't even answer direct questions.

    I have never in my life seen someone argue a point so adamantly and then be too scared and/or lazy to defend it.

    Where’s the quote where I said the same thing about Lewis and Bowe, as you claimed?

    Lazy? You use 5 paragraphs to sum up a point that could made with one sentence. Ain’t noooobody got time for that.

    You ever notice that everyone on this forum participated in debates, and yet most of your posts are their own lengthy dissertations? You lack adherence to the debate, with big paragraphs consisting of points that have no relevance to the argument. You can miss me with all that.

    Nobody has time for people who are disingenuous, dishonest, illogical, and who will not answer basic questions.

    My last post was 6 sentences and yet you still don't address anything. Sounds like the problem is you. And I have gotten heaps of praise for my posts so...

    And you have written plenty of huge walls of text arguing back and forth with people other than me, like how you infamously defended Carnera for literally dozens of pages. So cut the crap. :lol:

    Anyways, in the thread I posted YOUR quote from YOU posted the Lewis vs Vitali fight and asked if that was the ceiling for modern super heavyweight boxing. So is it a stretch for me to state that you were suggesting Carnera looked better on film than Lewis? I even pointed out that both Lewis and Vitali looked better in other fights yet you dug your heels in. The whole forum saw it. :lol: Now you want to play word games and semantics.

    As for Bowe, need I remind you that you LITERALLY spent pages on THIS infamous thread:https://www.boxingforum24.com/threa...fighter-primo-carnera-or-riddick-bowe.585492/

    That would be an incredibly short fight. :lol:

    I'm done arguing with you, it's like bickering with a high school girl. Never on subject, intellectually dishonest, emotional.

    If you wanna settle it over a cup of Earl Grey tea, you can get all the smoke.
