    He has a lot of ability but it's still raw ability. Joshua looks more polished , more balanced, more complete.

    Over here the US they were saying Joshua is avoiding Wilder. They agreed on the $ and Joshua started making demands etc. He has to have it in his home site.

    I'm pretty neutral just wanna see it happen. It's am opportunity for the division to get back night front page.

    I suspect Marciano had to deal with more physical challenges, comments and insults from the public than any other heavyweight champion. They all deal with it, even Joe Louis but Rocky was short and had a high pitched voice, alcohol is a Helluva igniter. THIS LITTLE GUY IS THE HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION?! I CAN TAKE HIM. HOLD MY BEER.

    Burt Reynolds admitted he was guilty of it. He was hanging out with Marciano and Reynolds started looking at him funny. Burt said Rocky leaned in and said "don't even think about it."

    Funny, Lennox was talking about how often that did and still does happen to him.

    But if we want to talk about the King of Insults Received (and real threats), it would have to be Jack Johnson and second isn't even close.

    6 pages and no mention of his defense? If Da Rock wasn’t a cutie, I don’t know who was.

    I remember Lewis referring to it.

    In Jack Johnson's case he I'm sure caught a lot. Maybe not face to face as much.

    Actually it's not that bad nowadays. A few years ago however the fanboyism was quite rampant and not just for marciano. For others too

    Classic has become much more balanced and respectable while general forum got worse

    Two of the last dudes I would ever start sh*t with. Alcohol makes dumb people dumber, tho. Even a guy like Malignaggi cleans up in bar fights. When throwing educated punches without hesitation is your line of business you will always be a few steps ahead of the biggest blowhard.

    There are some guys that could have beat Marciano or hurt him.

    Much of the time it's a lot of wrestling and mauling. Or even worse a sucker punch. I wanna make a name for drilling the heavyweight champion.

    Didn't Corbett Fitz and Sullivan all do pretty much the same? (I'm not as sure about Fitz).

    You may want to rethink that after what Ruiz managed!
