When Rocky Marciano...

If Rocky Marciano had you hurt then he tended to increase his workrate to 100 punches per round or more. Obviously not good if you are already in trouble.

 

Larry Holmes was decent at coming back, or at least fighting through tought moments, but once Rocky Marciano got started, typicaly you weren't gonna make it. And with his one punch, out cold power, he really didn't need to finish you if you were hurt really bad. All he would need to do is hit you once clean with Suzie Q, and you were out.

 

Holyfield the ATG heavyweight who has 11 losses on his record, I forgot about how hard to beat he was...:huh

 

Hard enough when he was the underdog if I remember right.

 

If you boxed him, kept the fight on the outside like lewis did to him in both his wins then he was not hard to beat. I seem to remember him being the underdog against Lewis so that blows apart your theory.

Holyfields "heart" was only a factor when you let him get close to you and let it go to the inside. Lewis executed the perfect strategy against Holyfield because he never let it go to the inside.

 

I spoke to Walcott, I was impressed with the size of his hands and neck and he was 63, I fought many men but even at 63 he looked like he had the know how and the power to make it differcult, and he said imagine being hurt,tired,really tired but doing good gives you adrenilene but, here is a guy who keeps coming, got off the floor stronger and every punch he throws hurts, and he just keeps punching, arms, head,body,neck, you try and catch your breath and Bam they get harder. Walcott also said before the fight, he had it won but Marciano was easy to beat watching him but harder to beat in the ring trying to do it, he was a hard guy to time consistantly

 

the Body shots VS former middleweight Tony were very effective vs Holyfield and those Body shots made Evander know enough was enough, guys that hurt you to the body have that effect

 

Holy would chop Rocky's head off. Holy with power,chin,will and skills. Marciano on a stretcher.

 

You can't compare Tony's skills with Marciano's brawling style.

 

Correct

No more than you can compare Tony's piter patter punches to Marciano's bombs.
