    LOL I love this forum. On the one hand you have a thread where people think Corbett walks through Golovkin, and on another hand we have a thread where folks think RJJ goes 12-15 against Marciano without getting tagged. I just dunno anymore.

    :lol:

    It's weird, isn't it? Jones' stylistic weakness was swarmers. Particularly the ones who could take his power. And Marciano could definitely take his power. On my card at least, he was down on points vs Griffin.

    A guy who relies on having just enough stamina to go twelve, fights at his own preferred range/pace and likes to sit on the ropes, PLUS having a weak chin, is a man who shouldn't be in the ring with Rocky Marciano.

    Tbf no one picked Corbett to walk through Golovkin, they all said Golovkin would not be able to walk through Corbett.

    Not to be pedantic but this was some of what was said

    "I honestly think he gets shut out here."
    "I think Corbett boxes Golovkin's ears off. GGG really has no advantages here."
    "Corbett pretty easily. A top 20 Cruiserweight deals with a top 20 Middleweight no problem."

    although I'll give you the Battle of Hastings.

    You proved my point there, no one picked Corbett to walk through Golovkin. It's all about him being able to outbox Golovkin thus stop him walking through Corbett. Not to be pedantic.

    OK, then I guess I should have used a different phrasing, like "whip GGG's ass".

    Jones and his Glass Jaw wouldn’t be able to withstand Ezzard Charles, Bob Foster, Mike Spinks, Archie Moore, much less Rocky Marciano.

    It's a well known fact black and white is slower than color. Blame science.

    Hell, not even Marciano could handle those guys in their prime.

    Nice joke, but Roy is too fast and strong for Canelo.

    Evaluating just on prime/peak form, for me Roy is top 3 all time p4p

    No way. Roy Jones finished his prime in 2004, boxing has moved on since then.

    At what weight? Because I believe Marciano could make LHW fairly easily by cutting 10 lbs of water from 185 and he wouldn't even be a big LHW, but at 190 I think Marciano keeps coming, wears Roy down and lands a devastating right hand and knocks him spark out, at LHW I don't know because Marciano never fought there
