    They were not average.

    The only thing that can be questioned is how would Marciano do against big heavyweights. He fought some big HW's but they were quite simply talentless.

    Fights against top contenders of the era like Nino Valdes and Bob Baker would've answered some questions. Although I'm quite sure he wouldn't be given credit for those two wins either.

      Marciano was a great fighter and a top10 HW all-time.

      It takes a lot to reach 49 fights undefeated. Just ask Larry Holmes and ( ) Brian Nielsen.

        Yeah, undefeated in a very very weak area means nothing. Chagaevis undefeated so far what happens if he retires his way. He beat fighter bigger than him like Valuev unlike Rocky getting dropped by smaller men

          Difference is, Vitali's been inactive for four years due to injuries.

          Do we expect Peter to KO Vitali like Marciano KOed Louis?
          I don't know I barley watch Klitschko or Samuel Peters. But we all know the BS Louis had went through, he was a whole other person. And he was just passed it.

            Oh please, don’t try to make it out they were something good. They were plain and simple average fighters nothing more nothing less

                Joe Louis (62-2), aging former champion, coming off a win over HOFer Jimmy Bivins
                Archie Moore (148-19), coming off a win over number 1 ranked HW Nino Valdes
                Jersey Joe Walcott HW champion, flattened Ezzard Charles with one punch
                Ezzard Charles (80-10) former HW champion, coming off KO win over Bob Satterfield
                Roland LaStarza x2 (37-0), (53-3), coming off a win over Rex Layne
                Harry 'Kid' Matthews (81-3)
                Rex Layne (34-1), coming off wins over Satterfield and Jersey Joe Walcott

                Believe me, I'm no Marciano defender, I've even been called a racist by some of his fans for criticizing Rocky's record but it's not as bad as you make it out to be.

                  Is this meant to clean up Rocky weak resume and try to put some gloss on it??
                  It ain't that simple, very average fighters in a weak era
