    Not sure why? They may not have The Rock's status, but in the squared circle status counts for nought.
    Rock went to the bank against old, veteran modern-day cruisers like Walcott and Charles and took 9 rounds to dispose a portly and non-threatening Don ****ell.

    He may very well have had his share of struggles against a Tate, a Bonecrusher Smith, a Berbick etc.
    I don't see why it's delusional to suggest a 215-225 lb. heavyweight cannot compete against Rocky, when 180-190 lb. heavyweights actually did.

    I'm not saying they "cannot compete".
    I'm objecting to the claims that Marciano would lose because they were bigger.

    And look at the men who Berbick, Smith, Biggs lost to or struggled with.
    S.T. Gordon, Marvis Frazier etc.

    :lol::lol::lol::lol:

    From one nocturnal existence to another, that is exactly how it should be for you northern savages.

    I'd bet good money that the rental income from just one of my properties, ( which I why I haven't needed to work for the last 15 years ) is more than you or any other scabby night worker makes in any month you care to mention.

    So go away, and you will be called for when anything that involves dirt and grime needs doing, because that is what you were bred for, and why we intentionally created industries that were injurious to health in your part of the world.

    Try not to be so proud of being exploited, it only makes you look dumber.

    They could compete. they are not winning. Neither of those guys can beat a great fighter. Not in life. not in fantasy. It just was not in them. Big is just big. Great is great.

    Granted some fighters frames are better suited to gaining mass than others, but you are effectively arguing that no practical weight gain would be possible for Marciano.

    If this was the case, then the same logic would apply to David Tua, and he would have been a better fighter if he had never used weighs.

    Are you arguing that a swarmer, with truncated limbs, should follow a 1950s training program today?
