Was Marciano's Chin Overrated?

[dansweeney]

Rex Layne, a powerful puncher, who knocked out 25 of his first 36 opponents. 69%
Harry "Kid" Mathews, with 61 KOs in 87 wins. 70%.
Archie Moore, the man who holds the record for the most knock outs of any fighter who ever lived; 145 KOs in 199 wins. 73%.
Walcott, 30 KOs in 50 wins, for 60%.
Joe Louis, 49 KOs in 63 wins, 78%
Eddie Ross 23 KOs in 26 wins at time they fought. 88%

You are the most biased poster hear. You tell these men they aren't really big punchers.

Also Louis won his belt from a man that was 12 years older than him, your logic blows.

So the correct answer to, "Is Rocky Marcianos Chin Overrated?" Would be, "Is you on crack?"

thank you sir!!!!!!!! lets ride on this mother****er, he is totally bias and hates Marciano because he is undefeated and ali wasn't.

being hit by over the hill guys out of there primes and lighter weight ppl doesnt contend to me as having a great chin. unless u get hit by a "REAL" heavyweight then ok.

Marciano was 9 years younger than Walcott
But...
Dempsey was 13 years younger than Willard
James J. Jefferies was 12 years younger than Bob Fitzsimmons
Louis was 12 years younger than Braddock
Ali was 10 years younger than Liston
Holmes was 6 years younger than Norton
Spinks was 11 years younger than Ali
Tyson was 14 years younger than Trevor Berbick (WBC Champion)
Tyson was 12 years younger than James "Bonecrusher" Smith (WBA Champion)
Jim Corbett was 8 years younger than John L. Sullivan

So, the average age difference for these championship fights was 11 years. Rocky therefore had less of an age factor advantage than Dempsey, Jefferies, Louis, Ali, Spinks, Tyson, and Corbett.

Non-title fights:
Marciano was 10 years younger than Archie Moore
But wait....
Ali was 19 years younger than Archie Moore!!!
Patterson was 21 years younger than Archie Moore!!!!
Joe Louis was 9 years younger than Max Schmelling. (Max KO'd Joe and was later KO'd by him)
Louis was 12 years younger than Jack Sharkey
Ali was 8 years younger than Henry Cooper
Ali was 7 years younger than Patterson

Your logic is flawed aswell. According to you Ali, Louis, Dempsey, Tyson, Spinks, and Jefferies are also the overrated. You have to know what you are talking about before you post or someone with facts will make you look stupid.

Joe Louis was only 9 years older than Marciano, tyson knocked his champion out with a 11 year difference. Archie Moore knocked out Floy Patterson even though he was 21 years older. Power doesnt diminish so fast so its foolish to say its not impressive he KOed Louis. Thats why punchers like George Foreman can be World Champions at the age of 45, he he was not powerful and relied on his footwork he wouldn't last as long. Thats common sense among boxers.

age difference here is overrated. marciano was 28, louis was 37. so marciano was in his prime and louis was way past his prime. ali was 22, and liston was 32. ali was not quite in his prime while liston was a little past his prime. liston was way younger than louis was, so he was better, and marciano was more developed than clay. so even though marciano-louis was only a 9yr difference, and clay-liston was 10, liston was better off than louis, and marciano was better off than clay. so your argument is shot down!
