Classic Welterweight battle

Oscar sparks out the Boston Bomber in 3

 

Nevermind ODLH, how does Marciano have any chance against a fighter like Panama Al Brown and his 72 1/2" reach?

 

Marciano apparently has a suitcase full of vibrators at his disposal.
..... this could be a ..... errr .... dream match up.

Hmmm
I hadn't previously considered that angle
... and I thoroughly regret that I have now.

 

Or lightweight Sam Langford

 

Okay, here's a serious reply:

Joe Louis -- reach 76"
Rex Layne -- reach 75"
Archie Moore -- reach 75"
Jersey Joe Walcott -- reach 74"
Roland La Starza -- reach 74"
Ezzard Charles -- reach 73"

Marciano handled them all and they were heavyweights. Need I say more?

 

I think he's missing the joke lol

 

Not unless they're 75 years old

 

You're big point seems to be that Oscar would have a 5-1/2" reach advantage over Marciano. Marciano handled many good fighters who had reach advantages during his career. They all outweighed Oscar. IMO, at least four of the fighters I listed outskilled Oscar (although I suppose that is arguable, but I don't want to get into a discussion about that here). Ergo, Marciano would have handled Oscar easily. I really don't have anything else to say about the subject. Maybe someone else does?!

Like everybody else, I get tired of all the Marciano foofah on some of these threads, but I also get tired of the posts that make fun of the posters who make fun of the posters who make fun of the posters, ad infinitum. Enough already! We have serious matters to discuss!!
