Rocky Marciano. Was he overrated, or as great as his fanboys make him out to be?

Ah yes, Rocky Marciano, the ICON of Italian Boxing. The man who conquered Joe Louis.:nut The man who destroyed Archie Moore:roll: The man who made mincemeat of 58 year old Jersey Joe Walcott and Ezzard Charles:-( as well. Wow. What a resume of superstars. 49-0 and still the only HW Champ to retire undefeated. The purpose of this poll is simple. This "Computer Geek" thinks that Marciano is the most overrated HW in history, and his best wins were over Geriatric Competition. He also thinks that Larry Holmes, Ali or Lewis or Tyson would have make Maricano's rectum bleed inside the ropes. George Foreman has been known to take massive shits on Sunday AMs that weigh more than Marciano did in his prime.

Being that an Eye-Talian is fighting tonite, the same boys from Philly and the Bronx that cheered Rocky Balboa, (The ones Eddie Murphy makes fun of) are out in droves tonite, praying for a miracle)

Can you imagine Marciano in the division in the 70's? Ernie Shavers would have belched and knocked him over. In the 80's Tyson would have decapitated his ass, and in the 90's, Riddick Bowe could have knocked him out with a powerful fart. And the 2000s? Wow, Lennox Lewis could throw a fast knee strike and hit him on the jaw. The image in the back of the Bogus/BS Ali-Marciano DVD Dream fight says it all. It looks like Sylvester Stallone trying to get in Kevin Garnett's face.

I thought yesterday, think today, and will think tomarrow, that Rocky Marciano could not carry drops of sweat in a vial, from Holmes' wet jockstrap, and you can quote me on that.
