Rocky Marciano hit harder than Sonny Liston

Hi. It's true. Just look at Savold or Walcott.

 

Machen record against guys who held a world title (Liston, Floyd, H. Johnson): 0-3
Patterson's record against guys who held a world title (Maxim, Moore, Ingo, Liston, Ali, Ellis): 3-7

 

Is it just?

You’re what, about 22 yo yourself (per your profile)?

So what’s your excuse then?

 

Excuse for what?

Marciano and Bonecrusher started boxing 25, I didn't even go pro.

What does my age has to do with that too?

 

Never mind…..

 

I think Marciano was an excellent commentator.

 

Williams was 20 years old and not in his prime ,he had been fed a succession of sausages ,and was not ready for Satterfield.

 

.....are we still talking about boxing?

 

He was in his prime, he was pro for 6 years and had 35 pro fights so yeah, he was in his prime even tho you don't like that Satterfield finished Williams as fast as Liston being a smaller man than Liston and Williams.

 

I am.

 

All that's missing is some baby oil

 

I've called him out about that before. He said he was born in 2001.

Username sets the tone.

Leave him now, Pug. Like the "20 year old, six year veteran," Cleveland Williams, you need to move up a level of opponent.

Where's ... Rocky ... Jim...?

 

Pug English isn’t his first language.

 

He was a pro for 6 years because he turned pro at FIFTEEN years old. He was hardly in his prime, nowhere near it. And he took the fight on short notice.

 

They punched about the same just like all of those top shelf hitters. Splitting hairs it’s likely Dempsey hit harder then these guys but for the same reason Marciano thinks Walcott hit the hardest… Liston overpowered who he fought, bludgeoned them, clubbed them up and down Liston came straight at you, Marciano had the same plan but he could fight inside… both were predictable in there efforts… Walcott ran fighters into punches, he hit them unpredictably, I think when you see a punch something happens unconsciously a reflex of survival, even if it’s too fast to avoid you might pull or roll it - brace in some way, even some untrained people pull and roll with punches as they touch down… I think if Grandma sucker punched you she’d do some damage based on the surprise of the moment on your system lol. Really if both guys can potentially punch the “harder” hitter is probably the smarter more unpredictable fighter - in this instance it’s Marciano.
