Freddie Roach: "The Klitschko Brothers Don't Take Risks."

He may stop him but he isn't knocking him out cold. What's so hard to believe that? With Rocky's heart, will, and chin he ain't getting blasted out by no lean-back arm-puncher no matter how big he is. Just isn't... period.

 

That was a stepping stone fight for Marciano. What's he going to do, not take it and try not getting that next spot closer to his title shot? Guy has HOF names on his record like Walcott, Moore, and Charles. His victory against Walcott for the title is better than any win by Wlad or Vitali. Probably better than most their wins combined. And his defenses against Walcott, Charles, and Moore are solid wins.

49-0. Marciano was blinded in the middle rounds against Walcott but kept moving forward trying to find a chance. He had his nose split against Charles in their second fight and with the strong grave chance of the fight being stopped he rallied back with probably 1 round left and knocked Charles out! Talk about a champion. Vitali quits when his shoulder hurts when he's massively ahead on the cards. Don't even compare them, Rocky is far greater fighter.

And not highly regarded? You're a ****ing tool. Check the classic section, where we have educated posters who are 100 times more knowledgeable regarding boxing and its history than you. Far more intelligent too for that matter. In the complete survey in the classic section, Marciano ended up being ranked as the 3rd greatest HW of all time. So just shut the hell up you ignoramus.

This is how I know you have no idea what you're talking about in regards to Marciano. You act is if Joe Louis is even his best win or his only claim to fame.

Athletes old by 30? Tell that to SRR and Archie Moore. LoL akin to Holy fighting Wlad. You're an idiot. LOL there you go, referring to Bert Sugar as if this is the ultimate proof. Bert Sugar is entertaining, but not your ideal historian. He's not an expert on Marciano. And no, Marciano was not receiving heat for fighting Louis. He needed the fight as a stepping stone and Louis needed the money or the fight to possible get a title shot. You're a ****ing tool. You act is if Marciano defended crown against Louis, and as if this is his biggest victory. It's the biggest name on his resume, that's it. Probably still a better win than anything Vitali has on his resume.
