    No.

    As a representative as the Anti Rockistas we reject your offer of truce and require better terms before we can consider such an offer

    We need admittance of the following

    1. Bob Fitsimmons is not a top 100 pfp fighter
    2. Ike Ibeabuci beats any HW before 1990, with the exception of Primo
    3. Ezzard Charles is not a top 40 LHW
    4. Shane Mosley is the 3rd Greatest LW of all time
    5. Artur Grigoryan is the undisputed GOAT.
    6. The 'modern' techniques are far too potent for any fighter before the 90s
    Do we have a deal?

    That son of a ***** Mendoza betrayed the classicists for the moderists, i hope his name is remembered in shame.

    We, reluctantly, accept these terms. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to worship my Marciano alter. I'm behind on my daily 5 prayers

    Maybe, or Marty Marshall anyone? I like Sonny before round six or Marciano late. Liston chin wasn't that good, and he too cut and got marked up quickly. Not as bad as Rocky did, but Rocky had the intangibles to deal with it.

    Oh, are you pitting Marciano against an 7 fight vet in Liston? Well, that seems intellectually honest.

    I believe Marciano was more like 5'9.5" or 5'10" - and Liston was always listed at 6'0.5". Heights for some reason are often over-inflated in the sporting world. I believe Peter Marciano (Rocky's brother) stated that Marciano was actually 5'9".
    Rocky likely outweighs Liston here in this photo though, as Rocky liked to eat and really blew up in weight after he retired.
