    Rocky by wide decision or late stoppage by grinding McCall down... but come on. Rocky is a guy that would never lose to McCall regardless of styles. Just too good of a fighter. period.

    Don't worry, no one takes you seriously after that racist thread you made about Marciano.

    I gave my reasons why stylistically Marciano should beat McCall. If you disagree, let's here your rebuttal.

    people just say 'styles make fights' like it's some definitive thing...

    the class of the fighters also has something to do with it.

    Rocky via UD is my pick
     
  5. Marciano could beat McCall? Racist much?

    The McCall of 1994 and 1995 would be a monster for 1953 Marciano..... McCall being 233 powerful pounds and owning a chin comparable to Marciano's chin, would give Marciano all kinds of fits in the ring..... WORD!

    I doubt Marciano ever got nailed from a dude with McCall's right hand power..... "Louis, Walcott and Moore" are truly the greatest and best punchers Marciano ever fought, and all them dude's were plus 35 yrs of age at the times.....

    A great match........ A toss-up........ Who wants it more?:huh

    Marciano is very small compared to McCall...:deal

    That's all I'm saying.... But some old fart pushing 100 years of age will swear up and down that 185 pound Marciano walks through prime McCall like a hot blade going through butter....

    Marciano would get busy on McCall.

    Marciano KO 13 McCall

    Marciano by UD.

    McCall has fought and sparred with some of the best heavies of all-time and has never been down or truly KO'd....... McCall was in outer space for Lewis in 1997......

    McCall has never really been out-fought by way of power and roughness, either..... McCall loses on points to talented boxers with speed....

    Marciano had to wear down every top fighter he fought with accumulation, his chances of stopping McCall are close to zero.


    If anyone gets stopped it's Marciano, although i would favor him winning on points.

    Valuev is part freak show and con man......... His technique in the ring is basic..... His size is his real asset.....

    McCall is an enigma, but capable fighter.....

    McCall is a better all around fighter than Valuev ever was.....

    No, McCall became a champion by fluke, SNV by being elite. McCall has many losses, some very wide. Valuev has two close losses. These are different classes of fighter. Valuev has some of the most elegantly complex maneuvers anyone's ever seen. McCall isn't even capable of pulling off moves such as the double punch:

    Learn your boxing, Bill. LEARN your boxing. Russian boxing. SNV, Karmazin, Pirog, Provodnikov...the past, the present and the future of this great sport. :deal

    Nick Valuev has more padding on his resume than a baseball catchers mit..... Valuev has been carefully guided for the most part..... He never beat a man who was primed or in top shape.... Christ, he really did lose to Evan Fields on points, despite the rigged scores....

    McCall's class of opponents SMOKES Valuev's resume....

    How you can praise Nick Valuev as a heavyweight god is beyond belief...

    Valuev has been exposed as a jabbing lummox who plods and stalks, and lobs right crosses before regrouping his balance and stance.... Again, if he were not 7' tall and 325 pounds, he'd get killed fighting..... His chin is okay because all who nail it must punch upward, thus losing power in the process.....
