    I don’t think Dempsey could but I agree Frazier and Tyson as of now do. I’d add Marciano. My opinion on Usyk could adjust depending on what he does going forward.

    (38+38+32+27+26) / 5 = 32.2

    But beyond that yeah he only was challenged by 5 people, bit skewed because there happened to be 3 old fighters who were elite at the time (Joe Louis, Joe Walcott and Archie Moore). His actual opponents while climbing combined with his title fights average out to 29.8

    Your L, sir.

    Who needs Sophia Loren when you got Rocky Marciano? Usyk takes those cheeks easy.

    Hell, with 15 rounds and smaller gloves, does anyone really believe Usyk couldn't ALSO beat Charles, Walcott and Moore?

    Maybe he doesn't take ALL 5 in 15 rounds. But probably any 3 of them.

    And gross disparity in skill. Usyk doesn't break a sweat exposing Marciano.

    Unbelievable.

    Dempsey cannot beat Usyk, but the far inferior Frazier and Maricano can!?!?!?

    Let me guess, Duran can't beat Hearns, but he can beat Marciano and Frazier?

    Gassiev would MURDER Marciano, and eventually breakdown Frazier. But the dude who COMPLETELY OUT-CLASSED him, would lose to marciano and Frazier?!!?!?

    Dude, if you are trying to be funny. This isn't the way to do it. Most humor is lost on the internet.

    By the standards of Marciano fanboys, that's actually an impressive argument.

    you really think the guy who was gifted a decsion against a shop-worn Lowry and decked by little Archie Moore will survive against Gassiev.

    Yes or No.

    you put yourself in this position, son.

    Starting to sound like a certain poster that gets booted constantly.

    first off you’re an idiot if you think he was gifted a decision on a fight you didn’t see of a non prime Marciano. But the fact that any low iq dope that has to bring up that fight to try and take the man down a notch is a testament to the fact there isn’t much to bring the man down about. Keep grasping at straws.

    secondly little Archie Moore Is the KO king. Knocking out much larger men then Marciano. Men bigger then that nobody Gassiev. Until you have an actually argument as to why Usyk would win don’t waste my time. Ive broken it down in previous posts no need to repeat myself.

    Oh wow, a Marciano fan resorting to ad hominem attacks, what a surprise!


    I mean, this dude does it to himself. Clearly I did not MAKE him say this. Almost makes you feel bad for Rocky fans.... almost.

    I know this thread was created a while ago. But I think usyk in his heavyweight form would beat Marciano. Too many tools both physically and tactically.
