Would Marciano Suffer Under...

A good point, Marciano didn't win because of his illegal tactics he won because of his will, fitness, skill and power I think he is a handful for anyone.

 

What modern rule set are you referring to?

If he would have lost a point or two in a fight, would it have made any difference regarding the outcome?

 

Eh, it was mainly the Brits. It's true Marciano fouled a lot, but I would say the main reason was that the ref did a fairly incompetent job and didn't warn him, which would have caused him to be more careful and rein it in to avoid a DQ.

No, Walcott's knees weren't on the floor. You actually need to look at this- Walcott is dangling on the ropes and is very well up off the floor when Marciano nicks him with that little follow-up hook that helps shake him down.

Like I said.

 

For sure mate, just putting it up for all to see what is being discussed.

 

Getting rid of grade school double "psychology" would help.

Prodding a poster accomplishes ZERO in my book.

In other words, you got a point, make it! Don't mask it in a bunch of **** in the form of a question.

 

Then you were not looking. He was not a dirty fighter. Look, you have one reason for your post: To put him down. If you don't like him, don't think he was great--ok, your opinion. But don't be an ******* and make like it's a given that he broke rules. He didn't. ****, Ezzard Chales elbowed him, Walcott grabbed and hit beheind head in their fight---cut the crap.

 

Nice clip, it shows what a lot don't know about that ko. Marciano feinted Walcott ito thinking he had opening for right hand, then beat him to punch. That takes skill, and Marciano had it.

 

I stand corrected ,must be thinking of the Cockell fight.

 

It's the one you meant i think.

Nice avatar.

 

Yes ,no excuses I have a collection of Rocky,s fights ,must be getting old.

 

Yes but limiting the rounds from 15 to 12 and quicker cuts stoppages / swelling stoppages of the modern era would hinder him the most.
