    Which of these men would you expect Marciano to beat, prime for prime, with every man giving his best possible performance that night? Pick as many (or as few) as apply.

    Not trying to stir debate or even discussion. I just want to get everyone's votes on the record.

    Why not add more ATGs?

    I believe polls only allow 10 categories

    Wow 8 threads on the first page of this forum devoted to Rocky Marciano!

    Maybe we can start a seperate forum devoted solely to Rocky Marciano as distinct from the rest of Classic.

    Who wants to discuss Greb, Armstrong, Tiger, Harada, Olivares etc when we can go over the same ****ing old ground about Marciano again and again and again?

    MAKE IT STOP PLEASE

    If I could go back in time and stop myself from posting the Liston and Marciano picture thread, I would

    I'm curious, which holyfield people are envisioning, the younger, more active but smaller version (would still have 10 to 15 pounds on Marciano), or the little older, stronger, bigger, but less active version?

    30 pages long that thread. Possibly the most discussed and analysed image since the Zapruder film.

    And have them ignored so people can discuss whether Rocky Marciano was wearing platforms when standing next to Sonny Liston?

    Pass.

    It's just great that every champion that has come along after was cast from the same mold of a short, slow,, stumpy Son of Latium. All the scouts are out there, elbow to elbow, recruiting those types.
