    So you have a good excuse. Having Alzheimer is no shame at all.

    A couple of things. Lewis isn't just any heavyweight and what range did Holyfield mainly beat Tyson? :hey

    Not when they have a valid point.

    And this is it. Turpin beat Cockell in better fashion, and that was my comment - don't confuse it with me saying 'Turpin was better' or using it as ammunition to degrade Marciano. Rather, I was praising Turpin.

    "Experts" nowadays just hate the fact that Rocky won 'em all and left most of his opponents unconcious in the process. Everyone has their opinions, however, and speculating on how the Rock would have done poorly against the new BIG HEAVYWEIGHTS from Liston on down the line to today is plausible and they have some reasonable points to make. However, what I find ridiculous are the jokers who make posts like "Roy Jones would whip Marciano", or ditto with James Toney, etc., There has NEVER been, then or now, a man from any division below heavyweight who would have beaten, in any way, Rocky Marciano. End of story.

    I disagree. Randolph Turpin would have whipped him.
