Describing Marciano as having a "cunning mastery of punching technique" and claiming his clumsines was an intentional ploy to make his opponents open up... how is that not funny? Have you got no sense of humor?...Slugfester likes this.

As I have already said here and elsewhere many times: I have the utmost respect for Marciano! I mean, here we have a small guy, who became heavyweight champ, largely thanks to heart, durability, incredible stamina and punching power. Surely 4 of the most important ingredients in a great fighter's makeup....Ivich likes this.

12 in... and it's not even a myth, as we have it on video:

So Marciano was such a tremendous hitter, that his opponents fell from his punches in a special way - a way that we have never seen before or since? Sure, why not......Slugfester Ivich like this.

I don't agree with Fleischer ranking Marciano behind Fitz and Corbett. I think he would likely beat both of them - and possibly also Schmeling.
As for Rose, I can't agree with him having McVey over Marciano.
I'm not sure, how Rocky would do against someone like Jeffries!...Ivich Slugfester like this.

"Those two" in my former post refer to Tunney and Arcel - not Rose and Fleischer. Sorry for not making that clear....

You're missing my point!
!'m not saying, that Dempsey wouldn't beat Marciano (he probably would)... I'm saying, that for an unbiased take on Dempsey, those two should probably not be the ones, whose opinions you should put too mucn into....

No, I'm saying, that if you're looking for an unbiased opinion on Dempsey... those two may not be the ones, you would want to listen to....

Arcel and Tunney... the two biggest Dempsey fanboys?

So this is your response to a post, where I comment on you saying: I wouldn't doubt if Carneras wrists are double the circumference of Furys.
What do you base this on - other than Fury being a knock kneed modern weakling? Have you seen any measurements, that back this up?

Here's an article, that says Carnera weighed 22 pounds at birth! Everybody can come up with all kinds of unverifiable nonsense... doesn't mean we should lap it all up, without a critical mind.

From Wikipedia: "The average birth weight in babies of European and African descent is 3.5 kilograms (7.7 lb), with the normative range between 2.5 and 4.0 kilograms (5.5 and 8.8 lb)". Birth weight - Wikipedia
13.5 lbs is an abnormally high birth weight! Now if you had told me,...Ivich likes this.

Foster is certainly much taller than Beter - but I doubt, that he was stronger! Foster is one of the skinniest light heavyweight champions, whereas Beter looks like he's carved out of granite - actually a bit like Marciano!
Yes, I'm sure you can think of loads and loads of light heavyweights...
