    The thing is, they make him an KO-artist.

    Foreman: Frazier/Norton in 2, Roman 1. Including 40 man, nearly everyone in 4 or less rounds.
    Tyson: 2 of 10 championchip wins survived over 12, the rest got poleaxed under 7.
    Liston: If we assume the early title shot, only Machen made it the distance.
    LL: Much more title fights than Rock. Ruddock/Grant/Botha/Golota got blitzt
    Joshua: Johnson/Cornish/Molina/Martin
    Joe Louis: Numerous guys early.

    All of them koed many men in CC fights early. In fact, Walcott miscalculated to get up, leaving Rocky with no early steamrolls according to his superhuman power. Nobody of note got outgunned early. In fact, it was more attrition and tremendous stamina that broke his victims down.

    He would roll himself into a ball making himself even shorter than he was because it's a huge advantage over tall guys. "Rocky would always find a way"

    Are you telling me that you Lennox Lewis couldn't beat Archie, Marciano and Floyd Patterson? All of them would be horrendously slaughtered by Lewis.

    Yep they likely would as they wouldn't even be in Lewis' division, how many times does this need to be mentioned?

    So? He'd still beat them, also they were all fought at HW, just like Lewis did

    How silly is that, that was a time when dinosaurs still roamed the land. We now have a new division incase you forgot. No matter how much it irks you they just wouldn't compete against each other.

    I know, that's is litterally my point. They wouldn't be able to compete with Lewis. But if they did it would be an incredible missmatch imo

    Your "selective logic," is absurd.Marciano was a heavyweight champion ,so he can legitimately be matched with any other heavyweight champion.The fact that you know in your heart he gets beat up by some of the super heavyguys today and so can't admit to that doesn't alter a ****ing thing. Its just ridiculous denial on your part!

    The facts are he would not be a HW in this day and age, this is not my opinion but fact!

    I agree he would more than likely get beat up by the good SHW's of the modern era, so would the likes of Dempsey, Louis, even that bloke called Liston.
