Lennox Lewis vs Rocky Marciano

Rahman was a lot bigger than Rocky, Marciano never knocked out a fighter like Lewis, Tua had more power than Marciano.

 

Can you explain why people have said that quote for years as if they just hit lennox 1 time only and he fell? And lennox wasnt In shape why even bring up a match where a person wasnt in shape? What is the purpose?,why say a man who was a lhw/basic who never would land on lennox would ko him?

 

Listen to a boxing expert give his prediction and breakdown on an upcoming fight and see how often they get it right. That's one good way to know if someone truly knows what they're talking about. Commentary is another. Manny Steward often used to give excellent incisive commentary on a fight that wasn't at all obvious from what was going on in the ring but turned out to have some bearing on the outcome. He was a genuine expert and a masterful trainer.

There are a hell of a lot of frauds though, and people stuck in the past, or experienced knowledgeable guys too wrapped up in their own biases to deliver truly balanced opinions. And many boxing fans don't always know how to spot the difference between those types and the real deal.

 

If Rocky fights today he fights at LHW. That's what happens. He doesn't fight at HW (or SHW if you like) unless he wants to gain a load of useless bulk and get flattened by some journeyman because he can barely move his arms. I doubt he even fights at CW (old school HW) since he'd still be outsized by a good 20/25 lbs, which would be a foolish career decision from a purely wear and tear POV.

 

He said days ago rock would be a hw still even if he was in the ring with lennox I wouldn't feel like I was if I was in the ring with a man that much bigger then me

 

Well, idk about you but i pick Lewis by TKO5 tbh, I’d rather do Marciano against certain cruisers like Denis lebedev idk

 

In his book about Marciano called: "Unbeaten"...writer Mike Stanton says: "Rocky had a style that was impervious to pain. He had an indomitable heart that enabled him to withstand some savage beatings! He had a punch that was like a "near death" experience! He went into the ring like a factory worker punching the time clock and started pounding the wall in front of him until it crumbled!" Yeah,...I can see how a guy with a left jab could beat a fighter like Marciano! "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

 

Fair enough, most boxers got KO`d if they caught flush I suppose.

 

Yes, he's a very confused individual.

 

Mike Stanton is an idiot if he truly believes that.

 

Wouldn't take that long for a lhw/basic fighter like rock to lose he loses 1st round

 

Another 'boxing expert' I presume.

 

This is a fight I can predict the outcome of with almost complete confidence. Marciano has zero advantages over Lewis. He just couldn’t win this.

 

Ummmmm cool.
But do not forget that anybody can be beaten on any given night, so the claim that listening to a pundit giving his predictions is a good way to see ig he really knows his boxing or not isn't 100% true.

I've never said otherwise.

 

Anybody can be beat on any night if the person that's fighting has any sort of chance
rock or anybody fighting from that long ago has 0 chance to even land hardly on lennox or people he fought...
