    I think so. He kept his left hand too low.

    As vulnerable as he was the last time you asked.

    Everyone is vulnerable to a good right hand.

    It's a basic element of physics on which the existence of boxing rests.

    It's like a football flying through the air when kicked. Without that brute fact Football would cease to work as a game.

    No

    What twelve threads? There are nine threads about Marciano on the front page, two of them started by you.

    I feel he's improving. A couple more fights and who knows.

    The nature of his style was such, that he was only ever on miscalculation away from getting his brains scrambled.

    That was always a bit of a wild card.

    You really love boxing don't you? Do you have every book imaginable concerning boxing?

    Little Red claimed three days ago I made the most balanced post on Marciano he's ever seen

    Having ones hands low does not mean you are open to right hands.
