This comment is hilarious when you consider that Tom Brady is one of the least athletic athletes I've ever seen, much less in comparison to other NFL QBs. Marciano has certain attributes of athleticism over them such as conditioning, and leg strength. Lewis, however, has the advantage of insufficient steroid testing during his earlier years. That being said, this is boxing, not powerlifting
Lmao I get the point of that but I think my point still stands, Marciano isn't a novice in the area Now that I think about it, I wonder if Shkor leaned on him
Wlad is the easiest fight for him. Not the greatest of chins and although he has good footwork he does t have the footwork to properly keep Marciano at bay. When watching Marciano’s fights no one with the exception of Walcott kept Marciano off of them for long periods. It would end early. I’d also pick Tyson and Frazier over Wlad as well.
Now you are just being silly! Of course Shkor didn’t lean on him. Leaning is one of the evolutionary advancements of modern boxing unknown to man before Ali implemented it. This is something Marciano will struggle to adapt to with his prehistoric weaknesses.
You people do remember that in pressuring a guy like Wlad, Wlad will be shipping damage, also? You remember that it goes both way, right? How many of those right hands and that jab that kept Wlad with the title for years do you suspect Marciano's dainty skin can take? Or does a prime Wlad only hit as hard as an ancient, one-handed Louis or Charles?
I can’t see Marciano beating Lennox. When Lennox went into destroy mode and not try and play chess, he was a killer. His right hand is better and harder than Marciano’s, his jab is amongst the best ever, his uppercut was brutal and his size would be too much for The Rock.
Yes, I am saying that if they have any sense, they lean on him and try to tire him out. I think that they could conduct their own war of attrition that way.
Kind of impossible when their gameplan is based around fouling by leaning on you after a punch or two.
