Seriously, could anyone withstand Rocky's right against Walcott?

Good point, but I'd believe it if I ever saw Chuvalo off his feet. Because he never was, I agree to disagree.

 

What the **** is this rambling bull****

 

did you see bonavena put him down? it wasnt a good knockdown, but he went over. I recon george had great anticipation, he was mostly always ready whena shot came his way. even when they landed he had high shoulders and a low chin, his jaw was always braced against his own chest, plus he had such a broad head and was hugely strong.

 

hey, I had time on my hands lol!!

 

I agree Chris, In regard to Frazier and Ali even though Ali was KD in the 15th I think he was hurt badly in the 11th in the FOTC by a Frazier Hook, I think he was hurt worse in the 11th than the 15th when he was dropped

 

tough punch to recover from, it was timed right and a short powerful punch....Walcott took a few earlier but was rolling pretty good, I don't think he saw the one in the 13th and those are the one that get you. Its funny but Marciano is considered slow but I disagree, he had a quick release on those 6-inchers and those were killer blasts Rex Layne was victim to a different version but equally effective

 

Joe Walcott is without a doubt in the top-5 of ATG heavies with finess, slickness and savvy, but his chin was always suspect...

I think several ex-champs from various era's could've absorbed that Marciano right hand much better than Walcott did in 1952 and 1953...

No discredit to Marciano... Marciano was desperate in the 13th round... And a desperado is a dangerous dude...

MR.BILL:bbbhat

 

Jim Jeffries, maybe....

 

Marciano's title winning right hand would have knocked out any fighter of history.

 

I know as much about quantum physics as you know about boxing foreman hook..

 

James Toney
Ray Mercer
Mike Tyson
Jerry Quarry
Big George
...these guys would walk right through the punch.


Larry Holmes
Joe Frazier

...these two would get floored by the punch and get right back up.

 

Again Joe Walcott's main weakness in his package was his chin... bbb

I gotta assume some of the post 1960 heavies might have ate the famous shot well enough to hold on, etc... Walcott crumbling like a pretzel really is no shock...
:blood:-yep:scaredas:

MR.BILL:hat

 

Just a quick note here...Jerry, unlike Toney or Mercer, would have felt the punch but would have willed himself through it...as he did against Norton, Lyle and Shavers(short fight but watch that first round again).

 

if anyone could have taken george chuvalo could,and several others i think.but most would have hit the deck from that massive shot

 

chuvalo wasn't down against bonavena.if he could take foremans blow oscar wasn't going to put him down the ref ruled them both pushes which they were.he said later bonavena's real dog ran like hell in the ring,after telling george he'd meet him head on.
