Lennox Lewis v Rocky Marciano

Louis would not stop mercer that’s for sure. I said old Louis was was the equal of mercer not that he’d beat him. I don’t think Mercer was necessarily good enough to knockout Louis though. What was Mercer’s best win?

If Mercer couldn’t beat Old man Holmes he’s not beating a younger comeback Joe Louis By knockout.

 

Wow that’s pretty naive...Charles and Moore “blown up LHWs” lmao. Cmon you guys get more and more pathetic with these low iq attacks. Charles was a Hw champion and Moore had a far more impressive Hw record then just about anybody (knocking out plenty of shws along the way).
FYI Rocky went 11-0 against 200 plus pounders and he knocked them all out. All of them. Good night

 

Charles was coming off of two solid wins against ranked contenders. And Moore is literally probably the best or second best man to never win the HW title. His wins can be compared to anyone’s. Please check out my thread five best contenders...actually getting pretty in depth on all the contenders resumes. Going to make a separate thread when done to vote on whom the top ten are from there. Your opinion is valued would like to hear ur take on it all. Even though we don’t agree much on Marciano I pretty much agree on 99 percent of ur stuff.
Savold
Louis
Cockell
Schkohr
Off the top of my head we’re all solid fighters. None were super heavy (maybe Schkohr depending on ur definition) though but all over 200
Walcott and Layne were border 200
Big Bill Wilson although nothing special was a solid stepping stone for a lot of HWs then with some ok wins.

 

Agreed. When Rocky fought 200 plus pounders It was good night and god bless. Every time.

 

Most guys today are obese. Far more obese then Cockell or Layne ever was. Hell Layne and Ruiz are the same height but Ruiz has like 70
Pounds on him lol. Cockell was fighting very well at the time. James Toney was a blown up fighter as well. Think we emphasis to much about weight as opposed to skill. Cockell Savold and Louis were still beating ranked contenders when they were beat (Savold had a little break but was still game and ranked). Walcott was what 196? Layne the same or 194 when Marciano beat them?

 

It's fact.

Please name the 200 plus pounders and their place in all time heavyweight rankings to qualify them ..

 

For who Marciano or Moore? Please explain the relevance of being 200 plus pounds? Is Joe Louis less of a HW at 195? If being heavier is better then the 215 plus version Marciano knocked out must have been better. Not Marcianos fault the big boys with skill at the time (in his reign would prob be Bob Baker and Nino Valdez and I don’t think they stood a chance do you?) couldn’t make the cut . They had shots in title eliminators and couldn’t beat the smaller men. Archie Moore wiped the floor with both of them FYI and other “shws”. This perpetuated myth that heavier equals better is nauseating.

 

What 200 plus pounders around at the time would stand a chance? Not Nino or Baker whom lost to smaller men in title eliminators or regular matches
You must admit the smaller men reigned at the time and they were VERY good smaller men. Moore Marciano Harold Johnson Walcott Charles

 

Pivoting I see .. you have nothing but the same recycled nonsense.
