    Seamus doesn't realise the more he puts Marciano down the more it puts the likes of Louis and Co in bad light.

    I mean fancy getting knocked out by a Umpa Lumpa.......

    Marciano's last known interview on his life......

    " Oh, I'm a short son of a *****. My father was a short son of a ***** too. My mother was shorter than him. And my brother was real short, we couldn't even see him."

    How did he achieve said 'vastness'? Couldn't Freddie Brown get the elastic band off?

    Imagine if I didn't actually really like Marciano... But unless one is a firm adherent to all the outrageous tenets of the religion one is deemed a heretic.

    At one point he was pitted he had twice the power of Wlad and then couldn't hit as hard as Liston

    Some sources say 5'11 as well. I don't know where they get it. Marciano has NEVER looked shorter than 5'10 in a photo
