    Seamus suffers from the Marciano Derangement syndrome - MDS and obsessed

    greatest of all time IMO- SRR- Wille Pep- Harry Greb- Duran at 135lbs

    I'm merely trying to hammer some logic out of the hysterical tin propositions offered by Marciano worshippers. The only sum of their contentions can be that Marciano was so great at so many facets of the game that he is inarguably not only the greatest heavyweight, both in legacy and head to head, but the greatest fighter pound for pound who ever lived.

    All on that flimsy resume of liver-spotted ancients, farmboy hype jobs and undersized guineas. Truly amazing.

    He's not the greatest boxer of all-time. He's not the greatest heavyweight boxer of all time, or the greatest pound-for-pound boxer of all time.
    But I suppose you could reasonably rate him as one of the greatest pure fighters of all-time, perhaps the best.
    The man was a marvel, there's no denying it.
    He was a force of nature that went way beyond mere boxing skills and abilities. He was one of the best.

    you spend a lot of time trying to disparage Marciano-"Thee Protest too much" who in my opinion was a great fighter and dominant champion of his day.
    with all the negative energy you put in it appears with the name Seamus you may suffer from the "Irish Curse" and some undersized Guinea with an oversized something stole something from you :(
    this is boxing business Seamus cant take it personal but to each his own
