    So how many rounds Qawi survived, [and that's all he did do,]with Foreman has nothing to do with George being 39years old?Okay thanks.

    Qawi got pummeled by Foreman. The fight wasn't even close. George was in no hurry and went about his business dismantling the smaller fighter.

    And as for Marcianos alleged granite chin, I guarantee that Foreman hit a wee bit harder than Archie Moore or Walcott.

    I’d wager Marciano hit a wee bit harder then Ali or Lyle or Rahman and Mcall FOH

    amazing how u consistently bring up one fight of many. Cockel deserves credit for putting it all on the line and not quitting as opposed to you attempting to knock his power.Marciano’s camp also said he didn’t take that fight seriously.

    I would wager he didn't hit harder than any of these except maybe Ali. To wit, I will further guarantee that Ali was a helluva lot more accurate and faster, as well as more durable.

    He has the highest age average for his major fights too. 36,38,39/40,33.
    His 4 major fights were all against past prime opponents.Only one of whom topped 200lbs.

    And possibly lowest percentage of rated fighters faced (among the elite obviously)? By my count he fought only about a dozen top ten rated fighters in his 49 fights.

    Actually he doesn’t and we’ve had this argument Moore was 38 not 40. The average age of a Marciano opponent was around 29 (including non title fights). They were the best of the era without question. The average age of most fighters opponents goes up for most fighters as the years have gone by AJ average opponent is like 35
