    Lol you know pretty much every 180 pound guy has great stamina. I can't think of a guy who won the title at that size who didn't have great stamina.

    Marciano only had the power to knock out Mob controlled fighters, bums, and guys who were pushing 50.

    ^ This. Marciano threw it all into his shots, balance be damned. Golovkin is actually a superlative boxer with power.

    Explain what "rheotical" means, genius.

    After watching Kovalev's last 5 fights, I am 100% convinced he would be pulverized by Rocky Marciano 10/10 times.

    The only light heavyweight with a good chance to beat Marciano is probably Michael Spinks.

    You really must stop posting this twaddle.

    Marciano did not lose these fights, he won them both.

    The only way that you could form the opinion that he lost them, would be if you disagreed with the decisions.

    The only way that you could possibly arrive at this position, would be if you had watched the fights and scored them yourself.

    this you obviously haven't done.

    Using that shallow logic, Louis couldn't KO Natie Brown, who he outweighed by 10 pounds. Brown was KO'd by Galento in one

    Shall we match up Louis with Kovalev too??

    Why are you talking about fandom when your preference of fighters comes down to cosmetics? Foh

    Langford slipped my mind. I agree that would be a tough matchup for the Rock.

    You made the comparison I just illustrated how stupid it was.Louis had been a professional fighter for8 months when he fought 54 fight Brown , he floored him in the first and won convincingly.Galento had 53 fights under his ample belt when he kod Brown after failing to do so in their first fight which he lost. In his second fight Brown went the distance with 12 fight Max Baer.Brown, having his second to last fight went the distance with big punching Tommy Gomez,he was 39 years old.

    PS Louis kod Brown in their rematch Marciano couldn't do any thing with Lowry in either of their fights!
    "I think he would always have gone the distance with me." Marciano!


    Anyway, Marciano ko's Kovalev, who has always been overated.

    Agree with that 100%,, though a Bob Foster Marciano fight would be entertaining

    Foster wouldn't be able to take the gas with Rocky.
