    Put it this way.

    If Price really was capable of beating Marciano, then there would have been some big heavyweight who was contemporaneous with him, who was capable of doing it.

    Price is basically ordinary.

    Price's height and reach isn't an advantage here. He has no jab, he bends low at the waist to slip punches from shorter opponents and he often goes to the ropes to catch a breather. He'll be right there for Rocky to hit.

    Rocky would totally destroy price.

    True, most people probably don't like to inflict humiliation on the vulnerable. But they could if they wanted.

    Of course.

    I don't care how much you know about boxing, the first time you step into a ring you are essentially learning something brand new.

    It's like riding a bike for the first time. Except instead of falling off a bike you get pelted in your mug.

    Price's modern super heavy technique of leaning back on the ropes with his face buried in his gloves is just too much for the midgets of the past.

    Marciano easy
    I think Ezzard Charles would do price

    I have not watched price from last night I hope the lad does well again and gets his confidence back I like Price. but no way he beats past great heavies or light heavies IMO from almost any era let's be sensible if it got rough after 10 rounds of action I doubt price would still be there with any of th e ATG 's

    Gassiev would KO him for sure.
    Although that says less than your picks.

    I wouldn't be surprised if GGG would knock him out tbh.

    He probably would tbh
    Just circle him and hit him with home run over hands and hooks till he bends forward.

    Price's chin is so fragile it could get shattered by a lightweight

    When a 180 pound guy knocks out Price then get back with me. Until then Price by 1st round KO.
