    :lol:

    I'm sure you got my point. Got anyone who doesn't:

    My point is that amateurs with a year's experience can do that, and will do it much better than Rocky did. This is the standard of a heavyweight ATG? And you want us to be impressed?

    My favorite Marciano KD.
    Love the step back with the looping uppercut, followed by that leaping hook.

    Just been re-reading this whole thread as I contributed to it early on. I like this last comment. Withering sarcasm lost amidst all the braggadocio cockwomble that has been spouted. I was pleased that this nice little barb went sailing over the head of its target.

    Never known anyone take themselves so seriously and still know so little as the poster concerned. Three plus years since I first read this thread and I still felt myself cringe at his every incredibly puerile, yet still totally condescending, post earlier.

    Would you pick Marciano to beat Joshua?

    In chess or boxing? Maybe chess, not boxing.

    What a cringe thread. These days I prefer sipping tea.

    'Carrying the snap through the entire motion'. Lol.

    Have you learned in the last four years what the word 'snap' means?
