    Ali, Louis, Johnson can beat him and maybe Holmes, Lewis, Dempsey. What’s hard to understand about that?

    Johnson being the worst matchup.

    You told Swag to go back to your post where you name the fighters who beat Marciano.....not those who CAN.

    If you cannot see the dishonesty in your wording then that's your problem.

    Now what's hard to understand about that.?

    " My post about the men who beat Marciano "

    No 50-50, no possible "Can "

    Those who beat him....your words.

    that’s as certain as it gets in mythical matchups. Unless you know results of fights that can’t happen. Can will have to do old chum.

    Johnson being the worst matchup.

    “Can “ is always the right term. I don’t agree with Johnson though. Lennox and Foreman are the worst matchups for Marciano in my book. With Ali out pointing him. Other then that he’s 50/50 in my book w just about everyone

    Cowardly cop out.

    To be quite honest, I expected nothing less.

    Sonny was around 50 years old. He was around 40 when he beat Patterson.

    That’s not what the census says. Records show he was born no earlier than 1930. There is no evidence Sonny was over 40 when he died.

    But the Census is compiled based on what his illiterate parents declared. He could have been 10 years old, or he could have been 15, the guys running the Census had no way of knowing that. Also, there have been claims that Sonny assumed the identity of one of his younger brothers. His physical traits in the first Ali fight is certaintly not that of a 30 year old.

    It’s 11-0 w 11 KOs. I’ll save u a min. Doesn’t count the borderline guys like Walcott either.
