    McGrain doesn't even like me and I'm nobodies boy . What is totally discraceful is you don't even believe what you are saying, just trying to snatch a cheap point ,that is unforgiveable,and shameful.

    Exactly. You can't isolate his HW knockouts in contrast to his entire career. Again another weird failed attempt at number juggling.

    Those seem to be correct, I'll recount. At least as HW defined by 180 lbs and over. I did not count the 175-180 grey area where it could be argued they were actually LHW bouts fought slightly over the limit as mentioned.

    Actually I counted 21 clean KOs over opponents 180+ lbs. But 20, 21, about that.

    Moore is 16-0 (13 KOS) against 205+ HWs (82 KO%)

    Not bad. :)

    And Marciano is 8-0 (8 KOS) against 205+ HWs (100 KO%)

    "I think you were pretty despicable in your post,"

    tough

    "I don't need lessons from you"

    I'm not giving any.

    "I am surprised by both you and Mongoose."

    Why? Were you so ignorant about the Moore-Lavorante fight that you didn't think someone would point out that Lavorante left the ring on a stretcher?

    I wasn't referring to the fight ,but the implication that he had a long career without winning another fight when in fact he had only two fights more, if you refuse to admit that you are either stupid or a hypocritical liar.
    He left the ring on a stretcher
    and he had a further two fights and it is his last one that is attributed to as having been responsible for his death.
    You are trying to imply it was the stoppage by Moore that was responsible and that has never been shown to be the case.

    Yes it is .

    Now do you think Moore hit harder than Walcott?

    If you don't those figures mean exactly what?

    I only gave the fact that Lavorante was carried from the ring on a stretcher in response to your focus on his never being off his feet.

    I did not make any extrapolation about what caused his death.

    I am not implying anything about that and never would as something like that is unknowable unless revealed in an autopsy.

    If I have confused you with one other of my many "admirers ," then I apologise in this particular case.

    No, I don't think he hit harder than Walcott.

    I think those figures at least mean that Moore landed some effective, powerful punches on some heavyweights. He carried good power at least at heavyweight. (Unless he only faced awful opposition.)

    I'll make one try at steering this thread back on track .
    For the record, will everyone now give their pick as the hardest puncher Marciano faced ? One name only please.

    Moore certainly carried good power, to deny that would be absurd, how much is another kettle of fish. Would you be kind enough to answer my question please? [the thread's title]Cheers.
