Andy Ruiz v. Rocky Marciano

Yeah I agree. I have edited the post to make it more understandable.

I also don’t think Willard or Carnera would be that competitive against a great modern cruiserweight. And this proves my point. Because most believe Willard and Carnera would be competitive against Tyson Fury.

If nobody gives super heavyweight champions Willard or Carnera a chance against a great cruiserweight and we have seen all other great super heavyweight champions suffer horrible upset knockouts and humbling stoppage defeats that nobody predicted...what makes being a giant heavyweight that big of a factor against great heavyweight champions?

 

I certainly don't agree with the underlined!

 

This is more or less true, but there were quite a few big heavyweights in the rankings at the time.

Marciano did not fight them, because the cuties of the era beat them.

So while Marciano wasn't fighting big men, he was fighting the small men who beat the big men.

It was still an unlimited division, and I don't see any sense in measuring it against a weight class that hadn't even been thought of back then.

What was the significance of 200lbs or 190lbs as a number back then?

Nothing!

 

In Holyfield's case I would agree.

I am impressed by Usky, but I would like to see him in against bigger men before I hand it to him on a plate!

 

Watch him in the Ams, he handled big men easily.

 

It is still the amateurs.

What I am saying is why be in a hurry?

We are obviously never going to see Rocky Marciano fight somebody like Willard or Carnera, so we have to call it now based on the evidence we have.

In Usky's case his next few fights should constrain the pick a bit more.

 

How do you underline on a phone?

 

don’t tell him....Please!
