If you read this forum without knowing anything about boxing you'd think David Tua was an ATG, undisputed champion who was nigh on unstoppable. I liked Tua but I don't get it.....
If you read this forum without knowing anything about boxing you'd think that nothing has changed in the heavyweight division over the past decades and that their is equivalence in level of performance across time.
Lol what does Tua being a all time great have to do with him being a 225 pound heavyweight and Marciano being a 180 pound cruiserweight who fought cruiserweights and lost to some of them. That is like saying well since Deontay Wilder isn't considered a all time great and Sugar Ray Robinson is that means Robinson would win. 2 different weight classes . Marciano wasn't a all time great even at 180. Racist white people just need him to be their hero and will never understand how big of a joke Maricano was a his own weight class.
But Deontay Wilder and Sugar Ray Robinson don't share a similar height and reach... If they did and the only physical difference was that one was grotesquely deformed with "modern advances" class would come into it.
You sound like a ****ing idiot. Ali has called Marciano an atg, James Toney and bill miller also. David Tua got beat by a semi shot Chris Byrd who started his career at super middleweight
Lol I am talking? I don't sound like anythng. Chris Bryd was a true heavyweight. He also used defense you slow witted ******. Ali wasn't going to insult a white fighter during that era a racial tension. But he did call white people the devil and said they were they were the root to all evil. So that must be true then. James Toney is a punch drunk moron. Again do you think any black man in the USA is going to call Marciano a bum? He is you little racist white people hero. The white media would rip him apart. Marciano was a worthless piece of trash that only racist white people like you love to pull out of your ass. He wasn't good enough to beat 177 pound 70-68 Ted Lowry and 180 pound Roland LaStarza but he could beat modern size heavyweights. Because you know, he is white.
Lmao he beat ezzard Charles who would have toyed with David Tua. You obviously don't know what the **** you are talking about. James toneys opinion doesn't matter because why now? He's one of the true students of the game and learned from bill miller you are just some punk ass kid
Tua was a powerhouse that was one dimensional. He could be outboxed far more easily than Marciano could be, however stylewise this is a terrible matchup for Rocky. Two come forward fighters both with great chins but one has a clear advantage in size and power. I think you're asking a lot for Marciano to stand toe to toe with Tua at 188lbs. This doesn't detract from Marciano's greatness all fantasy matchups are subjective. What we do know is that Marciano dominated the fighters that were put in front of him and they were great fighters despite being old in years all with the exception Louis still had lot of gas in the tank when they fought.
BH would you please stop calling Rocky fans white i am not white and why should it matter anyway if he is one of my fav fighters ?
Right the Ezzard Charles who was a natural 175 pound fighter. You are a funny guy. Chris Byrd had 47 bouts and 42 of them he was a heavyweight. Marciano had 49 fights and was either a cruiserweight or less. You are just the typical white Marciano fan . Simple minded beyond belief. I noticed that you and your fellow Marciano never have a answer about why Maricano got beat by 177 pound club fighter Ted Lowry and almost got knocked out by him. [url]http://boxrec.com/media/index.php?title=Fight:19970[/url] And why he lost to Roland LaStarza a 180 pound fighter in their first fight [url]http://boxrec.com/media/index.php/Rocky_Marciano_vs._Roland_LaStarza_(1st_meeting)[/url] Because I guess it would prove how pathetic and worthless Marciano was. A bum who best wins were over washed up Joe Louis, Washed up Ezzard Charles, washed up Jersey Joe Walcott and washed up Archie Moore. Guys who weren't modern sized heavyweights but he could beat a modern sized heavyweight because of what now? On that note like any other person who is a fan of Rocky Marciano the most worthless pathetic boxer who ever live I block.
