Rocky Marciano has a very good case for #1...

the only puncher frazier fought in rocky's class was foreman? b.s. foreman, liston and frazier would destroy moore, charles and walcott. foreman undefeated, frazier undefeated, liston undefeated in 10 years v ali against guys with over 10 losses. heavyweight result 3-0.

 

Would he have learned how to spell his name?

 

That doesn't mean Marciano can't KTFO Wlad though does it? It just means he didn't fight guys that big.

By your logic, which is induction based on straight facts only without extrapolation, The Rock is the best, since he didn't lose and every other heavy weight has lost.

You think that tub of lard Toney is better at 230 or 210?

 

One could perhaps make an argument that Joe Louis did not defeat anyone far better than Walcott, Moore and Charles but in terms of the number of top contenders beaten and longevity Louis has a considerable advantage over Marciano. Additionally, Walcott and Charles were rather inconsistant.

 

Um, no. The Rock would've knocked Frazier on his flabby ass and put him in the hospital for standing toe-to-toe with him. It would be like a beating from Foreman, but a smaller slower version.

Foreman would last longer, but would eventually burn out later and lose to the Rock by TKO. It would be like his loss to Ali, but a more brutal ending and NO it doesn't matter how big Foreman is compared to the Rock, because to the Rock it would just be like knocking down a bigger tree.



As for Ezzard being handled, you are right on that one.

 

I agree, I have the fight. He also looks much better against cleveland williams on film too, his jab in the foster and williams fight looks excellent....one of the best ive seen. his movement and speed are better. he hits like a fairy though, but with his reach, boxing skills, height, jab......it made him a very difficult fighter to outbox. he was also durable.

 

OMG!

Threads like this one are priceless.

 

Just no

 

End of this nonsense!

Foreman had stamina issues.....Liston wasn't tough mentally...and Lewis was KO'd by Oliver McCall and Hasim Rahman...I think The Rock has a chance!!!

 

About the same punchers chance as Tony Galento! Thats about it (Foreman excluded)!

You know, there´s coming HW power back at some stone, no puffed-up LHW pitty-pats!

 

Marciano's resume is excellent. It's h2h with the SHW's that can box that I see him having some problems.

 

Lol and Marciano got his butt whipped by 170 pound Ted Lowry. Lewis was stopped by 2 230 pound fighters. No 180 pound joke like Marciano could beat Lewis Foreman ect.

 

Marciano beat 4 old men and lost to Ted Lowry and Roland LaStarza. None of those guys were modern heavyweight . Any heavyweight today would stop Marciano in 1 round.
