    Look another racist white guy trying to build up his white boxing hero.

    The last time I checked PED's didn't make you grow taller. Also most current fighters aren't juicing. There is no proof that any guy in the 70's were on the juice. They were still between 6'3 to 6'6 and between 215 and 240 without cheating. Marciano could only beat these guys in the mind of racist white dudes like you. White guys who still need white TV heroes to cry over.

    Marciano couldn't even beat 170 to 180 pound guys like Ted Lowry and Roland LaStarza but sure he could beat Lennow Lewis, Mike Tyson, George Foreman, Riddick Bowe, Wlad and Vitali K and others. You have amazing slow witted racist white logic. Good for you. Blocked.

    A pretty big exaggeration followed by a spurious inference.

    You always bring race into every argument.

    If you aren't white your remarks look incredibly racist.

    Who ever he loses to they'll no they ve been in a fight. Marciano was a crazy guy in the ring , it's almost as if he would soak up the punches and it would spur him on. I see a lot of holy field in him. The will to win and over come the odds. Not many heavy s with disadvantage s like rock had could take that pain and keep coming back. If he did lose it would probably be some one like the younger ali, a guy that can keep moving but would have to take his lumps.

    Look, before PEDs the vast majority of heavyweight boxers fell within the Curent US army height to age to weight requirements. There never was a dominant Heavyweight champion from history who did not meet these requirements before PEDs. After PEDs the vast majority did not fall within US Army requirements. The best fighters now would fail entry.

    You are correct. PEDs don't make you taller. But back when taller fighters met the current requirement to get into the military these tall guys NEVER made the grade as dominant boxers. NEVER.

    I don't buy that they started to make the grade without PEDs. I don't buy that athletic big guys came more numerous on their own. Some folks do. But I don't. America produced the tallest people for decades. Giants were always around in America. Before PEDs trainers did not scout he biggest giants. after PEDs they did scout for giants. Why was that?

    That is why in the 1930s Primo Carnera was not a dominating force.

    Saying "about a million" is a normal exaggeration and you used spurious in the wrong context.

    The argument that because Joe Walcott didn't knock out Marciano nobody could is as spurious as it gets.

    There is nothing wrong with disqualifying all of the modern enhanced fighters from meeting Marciano in fantasy matches.

    They would be in real life.

    Forman. if he handles Frazier he probably does similar to rocky Lewis and ali both struggled with short pressure fighters Frazier _ billups .liston maybe but he was a bully don't know how he reacts against a fighter who wasn't scared Tyson similar thing.Rock was a nutter an animal in the ring elbows heads low shots like a HW Duran in attitude to stop him you better be ready to kill him because he will not stop or get tired until he has destroyed his opponent fighters were often finished after fighting marciano.

    My post said a lot more than that. Spurious is used to refer to provable or disprovable arguments, any prediction related to the outcome of a fantasy match up is an opinion. Opinions are neither right nor wrong if it can be affirmed or denied then it isn't an opinion.

    The punches that hurt are the ones you don't see coming. Marciano was never hurt or knocked down by a punch he saw coming. Walcott was the king of throwing punches a fighter didn't see coming and he hit Marciano with a large number of them. Couldn't knock Marciano out.

    Rocky Marciano would have violently walked right threw Kovalev . The Krusher would get a HUGE taste of his own medicine and ends getting 'Krushed' himself.

    Rocky is not Jean Pascal.

    This is a whole different level of Animal right here lol

    David Tua and Sonny Liston.

    The 2 men that immediately come to mind.
