Who is the best fighter throughout history you pick Marciano to beat?

So if Wlad and Lewis were hit by men weighing less than 200lb, their chins would be more proven?

 

If they fought and beat the men that Marciano did without getting knocked out then yes their chins would be more proven. Myself I think that Marciano had a far better chin but your entitled to your opinion.

 

An excellent post, that should be directed solely at the less than half dozen Marciano lunatics on this board that are as ridiculous as those pathetic religious freaks who try to spread their fantasies to to other people like a cancer.

They waffle on in their cringe worthy style about some invisible sky daddy called god, and these fools talk about a little 185 fighter as if he was superman, another creation of a fantasy driven mind.

 

Can you give a serious , educated answer .. this is pure gibberish ..

Haters can hate all they want .

Nobody beat Rocky.

 

Qawi had hand speed and much better head movement than the rock.Hes also heavier than the rock,and overly short that makes him harder to hit.Rocky at 5'10/5'11 is a sitting duck for the Hw's of any era in comparison.Sometimes being taller would not favor you,and Marciano is an example of why a 5'6/5'7 Qawi is better suited add in his speed factor,hes better than Marciano was when you throw out the ATG lable you would see this.Marciano would not be on Cruiser holy's level,not by a long shot,Qawi was as durable as well,i highly doubt the Rock would be abler to go 6/7 rounds and be winning vs a 240 pound foreman.Qawi also peaked in 1980/1981..he was 33 years old and past his prime in both holyfield fights yet gave a good showing anyway,he most likely beats Evander a few years earlier.

 

This train of thought and posts all came when the poster named Semus said Marciano had a decent chin for a cruiserweight. Marciano had a great chin at heavyweight and fought the best heavyweights of his time. Yes they were lighter in general but there were larger heavyweights at that time they just were not as good as Wladimir or Lewis. In the future a heavy weight just over 200 pounds and closer to Marcianos dimensions will be champ again. Not that long ago Holyfield a former cruiserweight was showing one of the better chins all time. I am pretty confident that Marciano had a great chin no matter who hit him and would take punches better then a lot of super heavyweights, maybe Vitali had a better chin although he did not get hit that often.

 

Inapt ****ogy. It wasn't the crouch that troubled Qawi's opponents (who didn't outweigh him, btw); it was the fact that he had great defensive reflexes, head movement, and timing. Marciano doesn't.

 

Never said Qawi was on his level. Unlike some of you guys, I'm fine with admiring a fighter's style without pretending that he was immortal.

But wait a minute-- are you comparing Marciano's defensive skills to Qawi's? His ability to get inside and outjab bigger, longer men without getting hit? The only way that Marciano was more unpredictable than Qawi was wrt some of his dirty tactics.
