    Different words have different meanings.

    That isn't what I said either. What I said is in the post above you that I quoted. Again, that post said:

    Were going around In circles here i want a direct answer from you does it mean when chok just told me that rock has never fought anybody as skilled and as big as lennox does that mean that the video isn't as bad as you said since he can see how rock fought

    Or does chok not see that good and what He did see isn't correct

    Yes or no is it correct what he seen or not I want a yes or no just those words

    Just as an aside to the interested spectators: Visualizing how fighters would look in the ring squaring off is probably harder than Classic tends to think it is.

    In several threads, people have expressed shock when they've seen heavyweight champions standing next to each other. They realize that the difference in size is either not as large -- or larger -- than they expected.

    Lewis would destroy, nobodt waying 189 would stand a chance v Lewis, no way could a fighter with a 68 inch reach beat Lewis.

    Because for all Lewis is a representative of another newer weight class (that could never exist before) one simply cannot rule out the punchers chance element that Marciano represents. And the Unusual pace of Marciano.

    Marciano was too small to take Lewis`s power.

    But rock was basic his skill level compared and was a lhw compared in size and you said he never fought anybody like lennox rock wouldnt have any chance when he has all these disadvantages he would be ran though and fast

    From matches i seen with lennox when he knew he was in with a person who was way lower then his skill level he ran though them all even if they were some were heavy and they were ran though to he was that dangerous so no rock has no chance at all here

    Marciano was too slow and too clumsy to deal with Lewis. And he didn't hit hard enough to ever dissuade Lennox.

    We could make Heavyweight 184 1/2 to 189 and discount Dempsey for drawing the color line.

    The “Rocky Marciano division”?
    That would be too much of a niche selection even for me. it would exclude Joe Louis, Sonny Liston, Muhammad Ali and Larry Holmes and all the other real heavyweights before science invented the SHW.

    Surely those guys are in between heavyweight and super heavyweight given they have 15-27 pounds on The Rock!
