    Yup, every single person who outrageously thought Rocky could even possibly lose to somebody is just an alt of mine. Nailed it. :thumbsup:

    I will make a controversial point!

    32 people have voted no, and 1 has voted yes, on the current count.

    So why do Marciano's detractors have such a victim complex?

    Why do they feel the need to start constant threads attacking him?

    Listen, fighting is about one thing and one thing only. Stamina. So, the answer is clearly 'yes.'

    People like that are who you live for so we all know you aren't really happy with him being booted.

    I like Rocky Marciano. But I encapsulate his career in a category of its own where he made the very best of his time in the sport with what he had to work with. There are some beach’s from other eras whom I would pick him to beat and others I would not. So in short, no... I don’t believe his head to head abilities place him at number one.

    You can make a solid argument for this during his time or prior to that, but looks like the creator of this thread has been living under a rock since Marciano retired
