wnot becuase hes white becuase hes slow easy to hit and still lost to ezzard charles and ted lowry and maybe more early in his career.." the only good black fighter he fought were almost 40 and he refused to fight floyd patterson.. he was a good fighter but really had less talent then most,,
your kidding me right?
Patterson ducked Marciano
Odd how Marciano wanted to fight Patterson but Floyd's people wouldn't make the fight, and as soon as Marciano retired Patterson was the first one to step up and fight for the title...
I AGREE.. EVEN THO A COUPLE BLACK FIGHTERS WERE ROBBED AGAINST HIM ...
No black fighters were ever robbed against him...The only fighter that ever had a chance of being robbed against him was Roland LaStarza, and the reason behind that MD was because Marciano
A)hadn't trained
B)was afraid to go full force
both were in response to almost killing the fighter in his previous fight (Carmine Vingo)...
No other black fighter was robbed...
Black Fighters like Ezzard Charles and Jersey Joe Walcott did well against him but neither were robbed my friend...
Well I am sorry to spoil the news to all the Maricano nuthuggers, but he did dodge a fight with the big Japanese (Gojira, AKA GODZILLA), so Marciano is not the greatest.
That's right, Godzilla came on the scene big in 1954, and guess who retired a year later? That's right, good old 49-0 scardy cat Marciano.:owned:
Do you have any proof of this because I've heard anybody, not even the biggest Marciano haters ever say anything about this...
And honestly if this "Godzilla" came on the scene in 1954 he would have no right to challenge Marciano, you can't just start fighting and challenge the Heavyweight champion of the world...
I don't know but Tyson knocked Butterbean the fuck out...
I'll put a picture up in a second

KTFO
but he's still a good boxer tho.
Please understand, when I say overrated I don't mean they suck, I just mean there ranked higher then I believe they should be...
They don't count as white because they are ITALIAN which is obviously a shade of green or something...
I'm so dumb what was I thinking, I forgot the only white people are albinos...:nonono:
:rolleyes:
Butterfly you say Marciano was so protected but I've never seen any concrete evidence that he was protected or that he ever dodged a fight for that matter...
Most overrated boxer ever....
Inside the boxing world Jack Johnson is definitely overrated...
He's definitely given more credit then he deserves IMO...
Outside (and inside as well alittle) Muhammad Ali....
He was the most flamboyant, boxer saying he was the greatest..This made him well known, and because he's very well known alot of ppl who aren't fimilar with boxing will go to him because they think he's the best...
Currently-
Nikolai Valuev is getting pretty overrated...
:D sry Butterfly this isn't a personal attack....
LMFAOOOO oh wow, since when do i have to agree that a boxer is a legend. when i see a great boxer THAT'S A LEGEND, like i said many people like duran, I DON'T ( it's just my opinion ). i dont care if he win 105 or a 124 fights, he's not the type of fighter i like. you want to know the fighters i like? let me name you SOME.
1. robinson
2. leonard
3. ken norton
4. hearns
5. tyson
6. klitschko
7. joe gans
8. kid chocolate (you dont know him)
9. kid gavilan
10.marciano
11.jersey joe walcott
12.ezzard charles
13. ALI
and joe louis. i got more but that's it.
THOSE ARE LEGENDS for me. you can't judge my taste and my opinions.
Which Klitschko out of curiousity...Vitali or Wladimir...
It probably will be Vitali, he offered Sam 2.5 mil to step aside then a 50/50 split and a fight with the winner, Peter would be stupid not to take that.
Damn he's losing alot of money on that deal he must really really want it (more so then I had thought)
Ok so me and my friends are gonna box.... we need to buy some decent gloves any ideas on this would be great!! ( dont really want to by the 29.99 ones at the local store..)
we need some good mouth guards and some helments any good ones out there?
THANKS FOR YOUR INPUT.
I agree with FeelTheAForce (2tough) to a degree....
Your not boxing when you just throw punches with a friend, and its ignorant to say you are...
Now as the guy above stated its called a headgear (which honestly doesn't supply near the protection as a real helmet)....16 oz should be good...
I suggest you go to a gym though....They'll teach you how to throw, block, and form....
If your serious you might want to get a crotch/body protector....
try http://www.titleboxing.com/ they're pretty good for boxing stuff...
Vitali sits back on his punches. Wlad leans forward. Wlad is also much faster, and speed increases power.
Yea just look at Ali's + Holmes' great KO power :rolleyes:
my trainer pisses me off all the time cause he thinks a hook HAS to have your fist horizontal,like palm down and i dont agree....neither way is wrong i think its how you feel right..i jus wanna show my mate that punch cause thats a good example of a left hook with a vertical fist
I never throw hooks that way....
If your trainer wants to see someone throw a hook the other way tell him to watch a few tyson fights...
Holyfield will go far if he keeps on fighting tomato cans. If he is really serious about becoming champion why doesn't he try to avenge his losses against Toney or Chris Byrd? Holyfield doesn't stand a chance of becoming champion.
I'm not really sure if he'd be able to beat Toney at this point...I didn't seem him fight tonite but still...

Wooh! I didn't realize that Rocky Balboa is as big as Valuev.
:D
Its from all the Steroids he got when Evander Holyfield Retired
rocky marciano. he was never out of shape. not even in retirement.
Your right he it was Marciano...But after he retired he ballooned up to over 300lbs...He only went down to 260 for the superfight against Ali...:tapedshut
