    Walcott ain't a bad win. I got him up there.

    My mistake, I am still relearning this forum.

    No, it was a 2014 sentra, not a great car but I did buy it in 13, paid off, and it melted down while I was grocery shopping! :lol:

    Apparently 2011-2015 model vehicles have bad fuses in them that might short and cause a fire. Cold. When the car's just parked.

    Mine did it. Now I'm out a car! :lol:

    As we've said before...."Iron" Mike never walked thru the fire to win a fight...he never came from behind to win a fight...and he never got decked...and then came back to win a fight...all things you need to be a great fighter...Marciano had these in spades...Tyson had none of these attributes....Rocky beats him on heart alone. That's why Tyson has fallen in the all time rankings...one list has him barely making top 10...where Rocky came in at #4...and another list has him at # 17....that list again had Rocky at #4. Sorry...

    So you not only have dementia at the age of 22, you're also blind? I didn't claim Rocky fell over in the video I posted. Show me the post where I did?

    You said, and I quote:

    Of course you won't quit while you're ahead, your fragile ego cannot handle it. How does it feel to be stupid?

    And he never got decked and blacked out against a 41 years old Lhvy ,and left hooked to the floor by a 38 years old guy. So we must penalise him for that? Tyson was on the deck putting his mouthpiece in backwards still trying to get up . He took huge punches from Ruddock and a monster smash from Bruno ,but kept coming.He had plenty of heart.Many many fighters have had tons of heart and failed against superior fighters,guys like Gatti,Ward,Pazienza.Two come forward punchers, one slower than the other ,30lbs lighter, and subject to cuts.The other faster afoot ,faster hand speed, more explosive puncher ,proven against modern big punchers of class,indicate one winner.And it ain't a little Italian American who cut in all his big fights and made a career out of beating old men.
    If Marciano had been black he would hardly be mentioned today.

    Maybe if Marciano was black he'd have gone down in history alongside the most important and famous fighter of all time... Elmer Ray.
    I personally don't believe that Marciano's two deckings were that bad of a show of durability, considering that Moore was a hard puncher who threw punches in bunches and that Walcott had ATG power, I recall some fighter saying that he was a harder hitter than Joe Louis (And I'm not talking about the old bomber, but rather a prime one).
    Lemme see if I can find what I'm talking about.

    I don't think Walcott was an ATG puncher. Moore certainly was, at lhvy.
    I''ve never seen either on a list of the 20 hardest punchers at heavyweight.
    Moore dropped Marciano with a single short right hand.Marciano got up at 4 and headed for the ropes,he said he blacked out for a few seconds.

    Walcott dropped him with a single left hook.
    Several Marciano opponents named others as harder hitting than Rocky.
    Among those to do so were.
    Cockell
    Lastarza
    Charles
    Moore

    Hey at least you admitted that I'm ahead!

    Freudian slip or not, I'm glad for the confession.
