Burt Reynolds on Rocky Marciano

Love it

Only casuals don’t give Marciano the respect he deserves. There’s a reason why history has been kind to his standing in the HW division.

 

Cool clip.

 

Actually the only guys who still give Rocky Marciano credit are a certain type of boxing fan who only like Marciano for a obvious reason. Everybody else knows Rocky Marciano wasn't a heavyweight by modern standards. He was a 185 pound guy who fought guys that size or smaller. Rocky Marciano wasn't even a good fighter for a guy his size. His career was based of him fighting old men, tomato cans, and guys paid by Mafia to take dives for him

 

You'd think that with the line up of ATG's that Marciano put to sleep at least one of them would have exposed him.

Yeah, he was small for a heavyweight. But he made it work.

 

Joe Louis was 40, Archie Moore was 40, Jersey Joe Walcott was 40 and Ezzard Charles was in his mid 30's All of these guys were washed up and none of them were modern sized heavyweights.

Also little sad child. You do realize Roland LaStarza a 180 pound beat him and got robbed. Not according to me but the people who were their to see their first fight. You do realize that 160 to 170 pound Ted Lowry beat Marciano from pillar to post and had him 1 punch from being knocked out in the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th.

Well grown men don't use emojis so let me block you. I don't type to children.

 

You refuse to give Marciano credit for an obvious reason.

 

So long, moron

 

Lmao

Im not talking about modern standards, clown. I’m talking about during his time. He fought men bigger than him as well, so you’re misinformed about that, the mafia claims are unfounded and stereotypical tropes at best. He beat everyone available to him at the time and let’s be real, he would have smoked Patterson had they fought and any other contenders if he hung around another 1-2 years.

Keep seething you clown.

 

Rocky Marciano! Rocky Marciano!

That's they one!

 

17 fights where he was outweighed by 10 or more pounds. That’s more than 1/3 of his fights. I didn’t even count all the guys with 1-9 pound weight advantages, which were common.

Bye clown.

 

Clown? I don't see your mom here. Also little boy 99 percent of the guys Marciano fought were naturally smaller then him. Zero were as big or ask skilled or the world class fighters from the 70's, 80's, 90's, or early 2000's. Also little boy it is 100 percent fact the mafia controlled boxing. It is 100 percent fact on the plane crash the claimed Marciano's life he was in the plane with a Mafia member. It is 100 percent fact that Marciano only fought old men, tomato cans, and guys paid by the mafia to take a dive for him.

So little boy Marciano isn't a all time great heavyweight because he isn't a heavyweight by modern standards. Also why I am typing/talking to you? Your own dad doesn't even deal with you. Ignored.

I’m 36, so good one. 99%??? I just pointed out with facts that over 1/3 of his opponents outweighed him by double digits. If Marciano isn’t great then how come he is in the International Boxing Hall of Fame? You know, it’s embarrassing when someone like you uses slander and someone like me backs up my post with facts. Please ignore me, I don’t have time for someone like you.

 

You became a member of the forum this month? You’re obviously a casual. That or you’re just a troll who doesn’t know anything about boxing but thinks they do.

 

People like you make this forum look stupid. I’m not going to give you the satisfaction, welcome to my ignore list.
