Louis Says Marciano Hit The Hardest

So, let me get this clearly. Rocky punched hard. Is that it?

Well, golly. I always thought his clever ringcraft and dynamic athleticism carried him thru fights.

 

The AARP wanted him for a Hate Crime he knocked over so many Seniors. I'm sure Rocky hit hard enough to get the job done but above all he was a furious attrition puncher. He didn't take any punches off, no space fillers, no buying time, always in pursuit of the KO, a total grinder.

But let's be real. He was a circuit club fighter for the majority of his career. When he rose to the elite of the day, there wasn't really much around but a handful of geriatrics trying to hang on past their pull dates in hopes for a pay day and some less than stellar white hype jobs.

And then he was gone as quickly as he had arrived. 4 years on the radar. Not a strapping young contender in the bunch. A sample size composed of smaller, older fighters and guys who wouldn't be a footnote in other eras.

 

You didn't fail me you failed yourself.
From what I've read of Rocky's family I wouldn't give them much credence or respect.I think his Brother acted disgustingly at Larry Holmes post fight press conference after the Spinks fight and I don't for one second believe the numbers of miles he said Rocky put in daily on the road.Did you know they lit candles praying for a Spinks victory and gate-crashed the press conferences making the fight all about the Marciano's?
Very classy. You should read George Kimball's take on them,thats if you even know who he is which I doubt.

Hating Jim Norris didn't stop Marciano from trying to reach an under the counter deal with him, he had two meetings with him trying to set something up,something else you didn't know.
Money was Marciano's God.
My sources are Joe Louis,Skehan's,and Sullivan's books book and Archie Moore,Don Cokkel and Peter Wilson. Your total info comes from one book that hasn't exactly had the best of reviews!
No you aren't Reznik,you're not up to his speed. You quickly resort to the personal stuff like him but you haven't got any real knowledge,nor have you done any research worth a ****.

N.B. I haven't got dementia yet proven by the fact I can still spell it correctly,unlike yourself.You're just a smug kid who knows jack ****.

 

Before I tear thru the rest of your sh*t storm of stupidity let me address the above.

1) white hope is not a racist term

2) I did not use the term white hope.

 

Marciano never fought a prime big guy who was top class. Charles had nearly a hundred fights on his clock and his best weight was at light heavy.
Moore had 176 fights under his belt when he fought Marciano and his Mother said he was 40 years old.
He himself admitted his legs were gone by the time he challenged Marciano.
Vingo was a string bean novice.
Lastarza was a very carefully matched and managed fighter who lacked power.
ShKor was a club fighter.
Layne had a porous defence and was pretty slow both a foot and with his hands.
Savold was a washed up fighter.
Marciano had the priceless benefit of being "connected" his manager was the MSG matchmaker for Christsake!
Weill also had close ties with Frankie Carbo.

The average weight of Marciano's challengers was lower than Johnson's [192lbs] and their average age was 32 years old.
You need to go away and do some real research before you come here calling me ignorant and Seamus an ignoramus.
