As much as you’d like do ignore am careers, I have a lingering suspicion that their skill level exceeds that of a oversized farmhand and a lumbering oaf who was propped up by the mob.
No I don’t agree. Where did I say I agreed ? And who was this fighter you speak of in Marciano’s era. When you lose an argument you keep shifting gears ? Why ?
This may surprise you, but 6’6 275 pound guys are generally unable to shoulder roll and dance around. Hence, it’s fairer to compare to the farmhand and cheating circus act. There weren’t any big guys of their (farmhand and circus act) caliber in Marciano’s era.
