    What would a Lennox Lewis or a Georgr foreman or a Wlad klitchko do to the Layne or Cockell that Marciano faced?

    I'd have to see the fight to know, but I notice you included the most deadly puncher in history in your argument rather than a medial choice. looking for bias much? And George also being a guy from the 70s as opposed to a chubby fatso of todays "evolved generation" like 6 round Sam Peter, which is actually the bone of contention here.

    Foreman would likely stop them both fast, but you never know. Sam Peter would struggle, and likely lose if he carried the distance.

    I reckon Starza would run away with it vs Peter.

    I realize that you were not blessed with objectivity or even a sub par IQ and probably believe I hang from WK's jockstrap which is completely untrue......but Peter had defined abs in his first encounter with WK.....but you never saw that fight only the re match when Peter was washed up and definitely did not know that they fought twice.

    Marciano would be 50/50 at best if he competed in 60/70/80/90/00 's etc etc.......and he would take some career beatings in doing so if he would competed exclusively at Heavyweight.

    That's what I'm asking though, upon what proof is your case made?

    Most boxing gyms have them hung high,they don't concentrate on DIRECT power they work on combos...im also doing martial arts for 20 + years ,have powerful forearms( pro arm wrestler...over 15 inches at 160/170) and extremely strong ligaments from doing other training since the 80's. My concern is not what others use,ive walked out anumerous gyms that I felt wasn't going to get me to advance in power,and power is only really advanced with HB work. some just stagnate and work with what they have. Believe me when I tell you the vids you see are not going to improve their power like I would.

    I cant even post another vid if i wanted b/c those gloves im using I busted the right hand glove and theres little padding in it now those are nearly 200 dollar gloves. Im fortunate to have the gym owner set those bags up like that for me which is in also a old restaurant so the iron beams is a plus for low hanging bags.

    Would he have done any better than he did with Lastarza the first time? I think we can agree Young is better than Lastarza.Foreman fought 42fight Forte in his12 fight and won a decision.
    Marciano fought 27fight Don Mogard in his 17th and was taken the distance.In his 35th fight Marciano went the distance with 28 fight light heavyweight Willis Applegate who had lost his last 5 fights.how many rounds would Mogard or Applegate go with Foreman?

    I WAS talking about the rematch, since there is no way I could have called first fight Peter aged 25 his prime version, though he was approaching it. He was 29 for the rematch, which is HW prime.

    keep digging your hole of lies, I certainly don't expect an apology for your continued attempted charade.

    What more is there to do exactly?

    Knock them out more quickly perhaps?

    Kill them?
