Were Marciano`s offensive skills underestimated?

Not by the guys he fought, that much is certain!

 

I will watch the video later, but the answer it that the guy was rated by Louis and Walcott as hitting harder than Louis, Dempsey said Marciano hit harder, Ali was in awe of his power, he could hit with either hand, and he was capable of throwing 100 punches in the 15th round of a fight.

His offense was INSANE, and is probably underrated despite the mad praise if gets.

 

I rank Marciano as the 4th greatest puncher ever. His pressure, his stamina, his volume, his raw power, etc. All incredible.

Not only that, but Marciano knew basically every punch known to man. With either hand he could throw uppercuts, Hooks, straights, sometimes made up new angles for punches, he even knew the gazelle punch.

In an ironic twist, the punch usually most focused on, the jab, was probably his worst punch. Then again, a jab isnt important to focus on when you have a 68" reach at HW and infight constantly.

 

No

 

You mean, as a 190-CW among HW,s or among CWs? Who are superior? Could the doctor do something against that Rockista thing, aka the "bee in the bonnet"?

@ this video

"With his feet off the floor, he became airborne, like one giant fist! <---

Sure. Last time I checked, energy of the LH came from rotational inertia, which depends on explosiveness and amount of mass, with the the trick to hit the spot.

This Dragonball Scientist also discredited Fraziers LH in comp. to Rockys....no need to comment on that mytopia.

 

Lol! Is that “giant fist” line an actual quote?

 

Yes, in the same way that Earnie Shavers hits harder than Tyson Fury, Tommy Morrison hits harder than Lennox Lewis, George Foreman hits harder than Riddick Bowe and Dempsey hits harder than Muhammad Ali.

Also being a good puncher is more than just power. Like i said, volume, stamina, punch repertoire, accuracy, all matter. I rate Joe Louis as the greatest puncher of all time, with Dempsey second and Mike Tyson third.

 

Not quite, but yeah, he came up with Rocky becoming a "giant fist". Watch and have a laugh.

What about amending Goldbergs spear tackle into one solid super punch???

 

Wow. I think I could agree with all of this text. Especially with the bolded. We are making progress.

 

I would rate him #1 of all time but I am holding out until they discover a number that is higher.

 

You need to watch more of this boxing stuff. I hear they have videos of it on the youtube.

 

Though I know there's no reasoning with you, let me specify that I meant at heavyweight

 

They surely were, before he fought them!

Walcott most notably!
