Fighters That Would Probably Stop Marciano?

Yep
And I can't remember Marciano ever facing one of those !

 

First of all Holmes was taller than walcott and is here where the history ends... Walcott was stronger,hits harder and was harder to hit clean. And shavers was dog shi7 next to marciano. Try again

 

Larry was quite strong, functionally strong, and an excellent wrestler well into his 50's. He also hit plenty hard and could finish as it reflected in his 44 stoppages in 75 fights (as opposed to Walcott's 32 in 71 fights). Holmes was stopped once, Walcott 6 times. You really have no argument here.

 

Most posters here grew up in a 3-4 decade stretch where the idea of a white Heavyweight champion was a joke.

Looks like the stigma never left, although time and people have moved on.

Some are stuck in a 1980’s mentality.
The further we go into the future, the more these people seem separated from reality. Sad what happens when you remain stuck and unevolved.

These are the same people who trash old timers for their idealized contemporary opinions. They call them cane wagglers. But if you ask me, these 1980’s posters are holding the canes now.

 

so getting stopped less times makes you stronger? Stupidest thing ever... It has to do with the chin not with strength.
Larry holmes was a skinny narrow guy and he never was particularly strong, he could not even grab tyson and holyfield had no problem doing it.spoon looked stronger than him. I don't care if holmes did wrestling ,judo,kung fu or karate kid.. He never was specially strong in a boxing ring, he was average.

 

Ko% means nothing because most of the kos by larry were tkos by cumulation of blows.he never was a puncher,he could not even drop or hurt seriously ken norton

 

The only nonsense is your inexistent answer with proven facts. Every single thing i said on this post is a fact

 

he was a great physical specimen While holmes not only had a narrow skinny body but he never showed that he was particularly strong against a real strong hw.

nobody can proves it now but based on the film i would say that walcott had more snap in single shots in a wider arsenal of blows

Holmes had better chin..nobody debated it..

 

Marciano was a short guy but He had very robust legs,his bones were heavy and very thick he did not have very wide shoulders but he had thick legs and thick arms.rocky was a strong man. Have a nice night

 

KO% offer more than your flippant opinion and critique of Larry's physiogamy. They are a reflection of what actually occurred in the ring. And I think all can agree that both fighters maintained a good level of opponents over their careers. So, all things being somewhat equal, they offer insight.
