Rocky Marciano vs Kenny Norton

In all fairness, I do not completely discount Marciano here. He has a live chance against Norton. I am shading toward prime Kenny, tho. 60/40.

 

He dropped out in 10th grade and joined the Army at 20. That give him 4 years of working sh*t jobs, which doesn't seem exceptional for most male youths up until the past couple soft decades. I worked a fishing processing boat and as a keg hauler and construction during the same period. But I also have big hands, so maybe you have a point.

 

Forget the slaughters carried out by Foreman, Shavers and Cooney. Instead, remember the fact that Norton couldn’t handle a detertined Scott Ledoux! Rocky would utterly destroy Norton!

 

Inb4 he mentions Cockell

 

So, by prime, you mean 3 of Norton's final 4 fights, fought at an age 36-38? This kind of line of argumentation is why people find Marcianistas to be the laughing stocks and rich targets for humor that they are. I'll say one thing with granite certitude, Norton at 36 was 100 times the fighter that Marciano was at 36.

 

I guess I should have included his knock out loss to Garcia while Ken was still in his 20s.

 

It would certainly make more sense!
At a comparable stage of his career Marciano was facing the likes of Jimmy Evans who had lost his last two fights, the most recent by ko, and had been stopped 6 times.

 

The big difference is that Rocky won and Norton was stopped.

 

Marciano and early,

 

Basically, its not funny at all.

Hmm I see the psychologist couldn´t cure the delusional disorder yet. Its bad to see these byeffects come along with Rockista Brain Virus, like for example "Louis was still world class.", "Archie would have Witherspoons number." or "Cockell was a genuine HW and would be top material in any era."
Such symtoms might stay for a while, if the origin of this chimera won´t heal.

So I can only repeat myself:

Stop kindling absurd Marciano HW fairytales. Give Rockista Brain Virus no chance!

Thanks.

 

Rocky by KO 5-10 round. Think he loses very few rounds here.

 

Norton might be able to minimize Marcianos best weapon. Unless Kenny freezes up in the 1st round or two he can use all his advantages. Height, reach, speed, boxing skills, an excellent jab. The most underrated lefthook in ring history.
Rock could but Norton should.

 

Holy Smokes! You've become one of them.

 

That sums it up perfectly.

 

Why?
