    Those 15 reports just can't be explained away. I think they know they're wrong, now it's just about pride. When you basically have called people idiots for believing consistent contemprorary newspaper reports there's nowhere to back down gracefully, so they will just continue pretend to believe what they're saying.

    He's not asking you to believe him. He's saying it's quite futile to try and dismiss all the reports in the linked thread above, which you can see some excerpts from in my post.

    If these can't sway you (and I believe they do, but you just won't admit it after being so wrong and such an ass about it) nothing can.

    If you'd always had been such a twat as you've been in this thread I would have put you on Ignore as I did the "Tyson did three hours a calisthenics a day" guy, but I'm still holding out some hope for you. Seem to remember you've been pretty decent in some other posting.

    And this **** "Are you calling them liars?" you pull is also distasteful. Everyone with a bit of life experience knows that people are much more prone to exaggerating things in memory than actually deliberately lying about them.

    A famous case in point is the first Ali-Cooper fight. For decades everyone who were there kept repeating the myth that it had been one or several minutes delay between round four and five, when footage showed it actually was less than ten seconds. Were they all in some dark conspiracy to lie about this? Of course not, the legend just made the delay grow exponentially in their memory.

    I think you also know very well that memory often works in this fashion, but just pull out the "Are you calling them liars?" stuff as an aggressive defence of a weak position. And that's actually one of the lowest forms of posting.

    How is unbiased when his close people and family said what regimen was and you still would say it is not valid just because you do not like Marciano.

    Who says i don't like Marciano?You ? Why because I am not gullible enough to swallow all the BS?
    I know what his regimen was I've 50's magazines detailing it and 4 well researched bios to read for info .I don't need Lou Big Mouth I'm A Liablility In A Corner Duva , to tell me jack ****! Or Peter Marciano who has been living off his brothers name since God knows when, a classless individual who made the Holmes v Spinks post fight press conference all about himself.

    Based on what? Based on Peter Marciano who gravy trained his brother for decades?

    Wlad Klitchko's training regimen shames Marciano's. I can tell you that. James Toney sparred more rounds. Lennox Lewis' was top notch, also.

    You don't like them just because they talk highly of Rocky, it's clear you know...

    So his close people are not valid oppinion but you know more, maybe you knew Marciano?

    Wlad,Lewis and Toney never fight 15 rnds and never scored late round KO same way Rocky did.

    I DIDNT LIKE DUVA BECAUSE HE MADE EVERY FIGHT IN WHICH HE WAS IN THE CORNER OF,ABOUT HIM.HE WAS A GRANDSTANDING LIABILITY IN THE CORNER
    .I DIDNT LIKE PETER MARCIANO TAKING OVER AND MONOPOLISING A POST FIGHT PRESS CONFERENCE AND HECKLING A GREAT CHAMPION.AND I DONT LIKE YOU BECAUSE I THINK YOU ARE NOT ONLY STUPID BUT HAVE NEVER MADE A POST WORTH A CUP OF COLD ****.

    Uh, yes they can.

    A) What fights where they reporting on, because anything after Walcott II is when he was having difficulty training.
    B) Where they there for the full duration of the camp?

    You are believing rubbish because it is what you want to hear. It's called, "confirmation bias."

    You actually literally did not read what I said. Just didn't bother to read.

    And yes, he did start to lose his motivation and talked about how he was training less.

    The only fight for which Marciano did not train so hard was the Cockell one, read about him!

    You are discounting unbiased first hand accounts because they do not jive with your,"ubermensch agenda" of adoration for Marciano.
    Which training camps was Duva there for?
