Deontay Wilder vs Rocky Marciano

Marciano via manslaughter.

 

You mean the Italian mob would hit him before the fight? Very likely. :yep

 

That's a very ignorant comment.

The following fighters fought in Rocky's era:

Ray Robinson
Willie Pep
Ezzard Charles
Joe Louis
Archie Moore

 

I'm fairly confident Joe Louis would mop the floor with anyone today, especially with today's roids.

 

He still was only 200 lbs.

 

Where was Al Haymon when Joe Louis really needed him?

Looking at Joe Louis's life and his end, anyone who cries about Haymon getting his boxers paid is no friend of the boxer.

One of the saddest sights I've seen in boxing was watching Joe Louis in a wheelchair sat outside Caesars Palace as a greeter, broke and getting patted on the head and handed a dollar.
All because he trusted the wrong Bob Arum type people.

 

:rofl

 

I sincerely hate to tell you this, because I love Joe Louis, but he was a drug addict, including heroin, and this was the real source of a lot of his problems.

He had his tax problems from donating the two purses, but he also had a lot of rich, famous people like Schmeling, Sinatra, Marciano, Dempsey, Liston mobster Ray Lucas, and others who donated money.

He couldn't get out of the cycle of poverty because of drugs, divorces (spousal abuse), bad invenstments, rampant spending, and mental illness, possibly drug related, possiby heredetary or both.

 

so what? no athlete in any other sport from that era is going to beat a modern, top flight, drug induced athlete. why in the world would you think a boxer can?

 

he got ko'd by schmeling. he'd get killed by top 200 guys now.

 

BS!

Joe made some foolish and uneducated choices, such as agreeing to serve in the Army and donating the monies earned from exhibitions to the US War fund, only for the US gov. to hit him with back taxes which he failed to pay for the rest of his life.
Everybody knows the US is no friend to blacks and the military is no place for a black man.
Down and out It's certain that Mr. Katz came to visit and offered drugs as relief.
Too bad Ali came around too late to offer Louis some real advice. :rasta

 

so you're saying those people didn't help him?

 

As already stated, he had a lot of rich people help him with those tax problems, and the matter was ultimately settled. Drugs, divorces, lavish lifestyle and bad investments were the real problems.

 

added problems. i don't think you can brush off tax problems as not real.

 

Wilder hurts Marciano badly. Marciano wouldnt even be a HW today.
