    Let me put it this way , some might run, box and out point him under 200 ( maybe ) but they would be the ones watching the clock, not him .. the only ones that might stop him ( and I stress might ) were Fitz, Langford and Dempsey ... that being said I would not bet any important money against him on any guy under 200 .. my debates on the man are on how he matches up with much bigger guys .. pound for pound at he rates in my heavyweight top five ..

    Marciano's cliched assets (desire to win, unbending courage and relentless workrate) are used by boxing historians to make stories more interesting.
    They never say he had the hardest right hand ever.
