    Mac,
    You are dealing with someone who has an agenda with big, powerful black heavyweights and he should be ashamed of himself. Don't give him the attention....he thrives on it.

    Before the Fight of the Century, Moore described Frazier as "a super Marciano. He throws more punches and hits more."

    A .5 to 1 inch difference is not "noticeably shorter".

    I dont see Rocky having any trouble here. Just a larger target that's all..
    I ask myself what's this guy got to keep Rock off him? Nuttin!!
    Liston gonna be cryin for his mama when Rocky goes to the body. Nobody thought of that did they?

    Again only you here showed not only inellectual dishonesty but you showed lack of intellect!
    I proved my point and guess what you gonna insult someone like always you do!
    Holyfield was bigger than Tyson and Louis was bigger than Liston!

    Before Fight of the century Moore was mad on Ali for draft dodging and beating him and his fighters!
    Moore stated few times Marciano eas alot better and stronger!

    Moore didn't even mention Ali in that quote. He was talking about Frazier. You can't just quote Moore when he says something you agree with, but dismiss him as biased when he says something you don't agree with.

    I think @choklab has an especially good point in regard to Walcott. That man was on fire at the time, and he certainly had more than a few flashes of greatness in that fight. Though I have grown a lot in my regard for Liston due to patient members here, I think Jersey Joe would have given even prime Liston a good fight (hard to think he'd go the distance, though).

    Sonny was certainly more heavily muscled. Heavily in a way that would have been a disadvantage against Louis I think. Prime Louis had borderline supernatural combination skills...I do think Sonny would have given Joe problems with that jab, though.

    I sympathize with your sentiments here, @ETM

    But Liston did have that jab, and the uppercut when Rocky comes inside. I don't see either knocking the other out in their respective primes, though. I see Rocky winning best 2 out of 3.

    Not really!
    Moore intervievew Frazier before that fight and he voted for Frazier!
    But he also said when Frazier fought Foreman that Frazier is not Marciano and not even close to his power!
    Moore talked aslo that in his interview from 90s!
    I only could quote what is quoted not what Moore maybe said!He was just mad for Ali and said Frazier is like Marciano but never that Frazier is better!
    Even Foreman said Moore told him many things about Marciano watch the comment from Foreman on ESPN!
    Frazier even said when he watched Ali rope a dope with Foreman:He couldn't get away with that against Marciano!
