    Only makes sense if Lowry was the best opponent he fought.

    Who would you say hit harder, Lowry or Louis?
    Rocky beat Louis.
    Your logic is basic.
    You have no vision.

    Thats strange because Moore said he had no legs for the Marciano fight. Is it your contention that a fighter is in his prime at 40?

    On the right night Charles may have pulled it off

    Benn`s punches had more effect at middleweight, how many KO`S did he get at super middle. Benn never threw a punch as good as the rigt that KO`D Walcott, all Benn`s one punch knock outs were crap against glass jawed bums when he moved up in class he needed a number of hard punches to finish people off, he was actually more of a good finisher than a one punch man because of his fast hands he could get in a lot of damaging punches to finish an opponent off the same as Tyson who had much better combos than Benn.

    Kovalev get's brutally beaten up before getting ko'ed by the Rock. Man, if Ward was able to hurt him, it's almost painful to even think about what Marciano would have done to him.

    Marciano or Dempsey or Louis. All easy first round ko's over Kovalev.

    Remember all the geniuses who proudly concluded Kovalev would beat all three?

    Marciano's stamina and unrelenting high work output would wear Kov out and probably get him KOD.

    All I'm hearing from Rocky haters is Ted Lowry Ted Lowry Ted Lowry. Maybe the guy
    had just the right style to frustrate Marciano. It happens, you know. Plus he (lowry) wasn't a bum
    but a professional with a good track record. Dude was KO'd only twice in a 148 fight career, and most
    of his losses came late in his 16 year boxing life.

    Another thing which became apparent about Kovalev in the two Ward fights was he was mentally weak.
    When things started to go wrong I never saw much evidence that he was prepared to dig deep and go out on his shield.
    So really if you have weaknesses downstairs and on top of that are mentally weak, then you're basically going to be decimated by a wrecking machine like Marciano.

    This. Even Joe Frazier himself on many occasions said Marciano and Joe Louis were better fighters than him and Muhammad Ali.

    What Frazier had to say after the first fight with Ali and his thoughts on Marciano and Ali. Even Frazier's coach agreed.

    Frazier: Joe Louis is the greatest heavyweight champion of all time. Rocky Marciano is second only to Louis. Where do I rate Ali? Somewhere below me. I beat him, and if I could beat him, no doubt Joe Louis and Rocky Marciano could have beat him.

    Foreman's thoughts on Marciano and Frazier.

    Foreman: Just look at Rocky Marciano's record. Nobody beat him. You can't take that from him. Only because he depended solely on his left hook do I rate Joe Frazier below Marciano. Marciano could hit with both hands.

    He's got a very good point.

    How could a lazy fat LHW with no skills beat a prime LHW with great skills? Simple. He can't
