The thing I find strange here is how selective people are in their logic. Many of the people that count out Marciano's chances against 70s...
Another point worth making is that the Vietnam war took place in the late 60s early 70s. If the war affected talent in the 1940s wouldn't the...
I have to disagree with the notion that the 70s are the best heavyweight era on a H2H basis. The heavyweights were much smaller then on average...
