    I was referring to the overall body of the posts I read from you... Maybe its being here at my in-laws that's making me more irritable, but you are still a ****ing idiot.

    But to answer the thread, I think Marciano makes the weight without compromising his health, and Hopkins, as crafty and great as he is at surviving and thriving in there, doesn't have enough to hold off Rocky for 15 rounds...

    Hopkins will be holding a lot and surviving for a while, but Hopkins simply doesn't have the power to keep Rocky honest. Rocky walks through him and stops him sometime mid to late rounds...

    Your a ****in Idiot, you don't say anything worthwhile in any of your posts. Your the ****in Idiot who said Primo Carnera wouldn't get knocked out by a prime Tyson in the first round. You probably think he would have a hard time with all the bum of the month fighters that Joe Louis beat, dumbass.:roll:

    Rocky stops him in about 9-10 rounds at the most

    I'm a dumbass for not thinking Carnera wouldn't get KO'd in the first round?

    Your reading comprehension skills are lacking, because I said he may or may not be stopped in the first... Based on his losses to big punchers and one particularly great finisher, the evidence supports my side.

    And you have yet again proved my assertion that you are an idiot. By the way, I'm through calling names. It's not normally my style.

    I don't understand why I'm an idiot for having an opinion based on facts...

    It's not a fact, it's an opinion because it never happened. And Tyson has knocked out more durable fighters than Primo ****ing Carnera within the first 2 rounds.

    What isn't a fact? The film that shows him getting up multiple times from murderous punchers and one particularly great finisher. What never happened? You aren't making much sense... And the one thing you are correct on- the fact that this is all opinion (except for my factual examples)...

    Tyson and Carnera never fought and there never gonna so it's not a fact. And the guys that hit him weren't Tyson, big difference, nite and day. And Joe Louis was a good puncher and good finisher but Tyson was a step above him in both categories, he was also a physically stronger man and that's a fact. Now I could care less whether you agree with me or not anything I say but I always tell like it is, I always say the things that people don't bring up, the important things. All you guys do is base things off legacies and longetivity, which has nothing to do with head to head matchups, because everything has to do with styles and the skill of each fighter.

    This is logical. I agree with most of these statements. Even if I don't agree that Tyson is a level above Louis in terms of punching and finishing, that's you opinion and you're entitled to it.

    Understand, though- these fighters that are revered and defended based on legacy and longevity got that reputation for a reason. They earned that distinction.

    Also, I was taking you to task for stating as a matter of fact (and saying I was an idiot for thinking otherwise) that Carnera would have most definitely not seen the scond round had he and Tyson fought. I stated my opinion based on fights that actually happened and how Carnera reacted to having his ass kicked all over the place. You could also get the sense from my posts that I thought Tyson certainly wouldn't have done any worse that Baer or Louis...

    I;m even more convinced B-Hop can beat Marciano by UD. B-hop is way to skill and versatile for the likes of Marciano. I have respect for both and both are Hall of Famers but Skill beats Will almost every time. I'm going with skills here, which is B-Hop!
