    Yes, I do rate Marciano.

    You know why, because 90% of the guys he's fought were better than 90% of the people Wilder has fought.

    Wilder's opponents are largely an embarrassment - especially from someone who talks like he does about his standing in the history of the sport.

    Again, I'm not saying Marciano fought an endless supply of elite men either, but they were better in their time than the cab drivers, pacemaker recipients, and paid divers, Wilder has beaten.

    Now, that isn't necessarily saying much - but is what it is.

    Also, Marciano had more than just one punch to his arsenal, and to my mind Marciano didn't duck people, or say stupid, immature stuff and make pathetic excuses when he lo...oh, hang on, he never lost a profession fight did he?

    I'd also add that men like Archie Moore, Ezzard Charles, Jersey Joe Walcott, and even a shot Joe Louis, are better quality fighters than anyone Wilder ever faced.

    In fact, mentioning Wilder in the same sentence as Rocky is an insult.
