        Marciano at his best facing Holyfield or Jones at their best, would be completely out classed. Foster would have killed Marciano. Yet, he's considered one of the greatest "HEAVYWEIGHTS" of all time? That's just ridiculous. LOL Marciano was the **** as long as he faced has bens. LOL

          A lot of fighters during Marciano's time were bums, only he was the best bum of them all.

          I see his oposition clashing heads and dangling there with Marciano, yet they get called ATG's. How is that demonstrating skill? Marciano's power is extremely overrated to! Horse hair stuffed gloves and still it takes 12 rounds to beat down a bum of the month, how is that power?

          People really need to rethink, especially when they are pitting rocky up against world class fighters like Mike Tyson.

            You continuously call Marciano and alot of the older fighters bums. That, in and of itself, says all that needs to be said about your view of boxing.

              I have also consistently told you I disliked a certain era.

              I do not view all "older" fighter's as bums, I view the bar brawling era as an era of bum's.

              I'll say it again anyway, I really wonder why boxing took a turn for the worse especially after innovators like Dempsey and Tunney were around to pave the way.

                  How can you call Ezzard Charles a bum ?? he beat Archie Moore 5 times and was arguably the best Lightheavyweight of all time.

                    Man it's no use. I've argued this point until I'm blue in the face.

                      because Archie Moore was a bum to.

                      I can beat up my friends 50 times, does that make me the best p4p fighter today?

                      Look how these guys fight, they are all slow, a lot of them run out of steam, they are clumsy and leave their heads open 80% of the time. Thats my reasoning on why they were bums, I don't really care who they beat I just can't see how people can compare them to fighter's 60's+ who don't have these massive glaring weaknesses or all fight the same.

                      This goes for the HW division, I never liked the 40's and 50's, all bums IMO.
