    People talk about Marciano. There not even any full fights of Marciano up anywhere.

    You're the one who doesn't understand timing.

    I put together some clips showing just how wild Rocky could get with his sometimes very ineffective timing. He could stumble about off balance missing by entire feet.

    Show me the clips of Tyson with timing as bad as this.

    I don't think anyone could beat Tyson at his own game. Rocky is a slugger with good stamina but poor footwork. To beat Tyson you need a good jab,height and be able to hold on the inside and Rocky does not have those traits

    The worst part is he was RIGHT IN FRONT OF HIM.

    Savold wasn't gracefully dodging, using fancy footwork, or using a masterful block or parries. Rocky was just that sloppy...!

    But according to the typical fans around here, Rocky was a genius with high ring IQ, great timing, defense, and accuracy. :facepalm: This was prime Rocky just 7 months before he won the title.

    Prime Rocky against a totally washed up old warhorse, who had the moves of a statue!

    If you think he is 'stumbling about and missing his feet' then you don't know what your watching. He clearly recovers his balance and positioning by shuffling into a southpaw stance and moving back to an orthodox stance in order to avoid being countered

    Love how you shifted your argument from the amount of time it took him to setup the JJW punch to him supposedly falling off balance as evidence of his deficiency in timing.

    Obviously not. There would be slower rounds and faster ones, hence the term 'top out'.

    Marciano wouldn't stand a snowballs chance vs Tyson you're talking about a 185 pound slugger vs 220 pounds highly skilled offensive machine.

    It would be a repeat of Rocky Balboa vs Clubber Lang Marciano would be trying to slug against the bigger stronger fighter and would be KO'ed brutally in a few rounds.
