Marciano

[F l i c k e r]

Ironic you say that, because Patterson knocked out Moore to become the then youngest heavyweight champion.

*SIIIIIIIIIIIGHHHHHHH*

Made a mistake. Oh well. I forgot your the all knowning boxing god.... sarcasm.

edit- Your wasting your time trying to make someone look ******. Do something valuable with your time.

It's pretty obvious you don't know what I mean. Rocky is a tough dude, he has a shot at beating the lower tier heavyweights, but the upper echelon he does not (or at least a very high chance). Rocky struggled greatly with opponents that most "greats" would have manhandled at the time he fought them.

This was only Ali's 15th pro fight.

Moore was around 50 years old though...

People make mistakes. Doesn't mean I know very little. A person who knew little wouldn't know Marciano holds the highest KO% in history.

That was the great thing about Marciano. He would struggle but come up with a win. That is what makes him great. He would just never quit. You had to kill him to win. He struggled because he didn't have any talent. Even you can respect that. All the greats have something that make them 'great'.

Ali is his grace and speed.
Foreman is his power.
Marciano is his heart.

How can you beat something that never quit(never stayed down) and hit you in the 15th round just as hard as he hit you in the 1st?

In the words of Floyd Patterson: "Jersey Joe Walcott had made him miss for twelve rounds and then Rocky took his title away in the thirteenth."

Man, don't waste your breath on these lamebrains. You are right and they are wrong. I've tried time and time again to knock some sense into them, but their heads are harder than Marciano's.

They just don't get it - and never will.

wasn't he 46?

even then, he was old when Rocky fought him to.

I didn't say he wasn't great, i have no problem accepting him as a great. It's when you guys like to think he wups Ali, Tyson, Lewis, Foreman and Holyfield, that I start to question your judgment.

I just dont like when people try to downplay someone so great just because his record was spotless. People seem to hate the guys who are undefeated but you have to give them respect.

"Just look at Rocky Marciano's record. Nobody beat him. You can't take that from him. Only because he depended solely on his left hook do I rate Joe Frazier below Marciano. Marciano could hit with both hands." -George Foreman

"As you see, I didn't make the list... The first time around, George Foreman was too mean and too crude. The second time around, too sophisticated and too publicity conscious to exploit his power..." -George Foreman

George Foreman's Heavyweight list-

1. Joe Louis
2. Rocky Marciano
3. Jack Johnson
4. Muhammad Ali
5. Joe Frazier
6. Jack Dempsey
7. Mike Tyson
8. Sonny Liston
9. Floyd Patterson
10. Evander Holyfield

Honorable Mention:
Max Baer
Ezzard Charles
Jersey Joe Walcott


Second only to another ATG on Foreman's list.... Joe Louis.

I respect that but I never said that he would woop(in my words: dominate) any of those guys. I said he has a great chance of beating them.
