Did Marcanio duck Patterson?

no such luck! calm down you are the one spouting race and being uptight.actually i like you as a poster even though at times you talk rubbish.

 

But excuse me, I never read something from you here at the Classic Section, only when you attack me indirectly and say how stupid I´m. That´s why I respond a bit harsh to you, don´t take it personal, it´s a boxing forum...


well, because of the race, some posters, like KTFO in this case, make it to obviously, you know what I mean...

 

God...KTFO is an idiot. He knows nothing pre 2000. Marciano was an aging fighter when he fought Moore. Moore had great heart. He told the ref not to stop because he wanted to go down like a champion. And he did. Marciano didn't duck Patterson even the slightest bit. I saw some footage on a documentary on Marciano, of when Marciano retired. He said "My wife made me announce that I am retiring before May of this year..." That was on April 27th, 1956. Marciano in the Moore and Cockell fights, was much slower, and didn't have the work rate he once had. Charlie Goldman also changed his style a little bit. He knew that if he changed Marciano style a little, that Marciano wouldn't hit as hard, but he would be more awkward to hit. Also, about Marciano fighting hand picked oppenents, in the begining of his career he was fighting guys that were supposed to beat him. The promoter even admitted it. Marciano fought everyone, and he knocked them out.

 

Finally you got it!


And please, all those Marciano-nuthuggers who suffer from brain-damage because of drug-abuse........**** off!! lzdie

 

LMAO. :rofl :rofl :rofl You know your in the complete minority here right? Your saying all but 2 are Marciano nut huggers just because we provide solid evidence and facts that Marciano didn't duck Patterson. You provide idiotic responces and posts that support your pointless and wrong idea.:silly

 

i can't recall ever attacking you and inferring that your stupid,i've only hinted that i think your bias towards italian fighters. fair enough i suppose i've done it in a mischevious way,just a bit of fun that's all.also i post quite often and give opinions on many fighters in the classic section,you don't think i just come in here to wind you up do ya?now that is bordering on the paranoid.:-(

 

You don't provide solid evidence and facts. You stick to a 49-0 record that stiffens your little Willie apparantly.

 

Shut up,Kraut. :stfu

 

Pretty good evidence then aint it,no one else has come close to that before,he would have strached patterson in 5 no ****ing problem.
Any way just another hater of the rock who cant seem to see past him being a small funny looking WHITE MAN haha,dont worry mate,you can sleep well at night,hes dead now,tell your self that and all the pain of his wonderful record may just go away for you.

 

He probably didn't. If they fought in 56, I think it would be a pickem. Marciano was slightly past it, and Patterson's KO of Moore was impressive. However, prime Marciano I think KO's Patterson in 13 rounds.:good

 

I´m Italian, but I speak also German, you racist dumbass...

 

I'm going to make this brief: No.

 

More or less all of those are true. There wasn't some one ultimate reason for him to retire, but lots of small factors contributing to it. One that you didn't mention was that, according to Everett M. Skehan's account, Marciano was having serious back problems at the time leading up to his retirement.

 

13??? Surely a prime Rock would crack that chin sooner. :yep

 

I don't believe that he did duck Floyd he was not a real contender at the time he just came good later. I've read that the plan was always for Floyd to fight at 175lbs and then eventually move up its just that when Marciano retired there was an opportunity and he took it remember Patterson won the Olympic gold at 160lbs.

Not to hijack the thread or anything but I always wondered if Joe Louis ducked Elmer Ray he as some solid win during Joe's title reign yet never got a title shot but people like Galento did.
