The Most Overrated ''Old School Fighter''?

[Ivich]

- - Welcome to go to annual IBRO meetings to lecture them oldtimers who continue to rate Rocky where Nat rated him.

Surely you would be gracious enough to provide us with the youtube video for our enlightenment......

Fleischer died over 50years ago,with champions after that date including
Foreman
Holmes
Wlad
Tyson
Holyfield
Bowe
Lewis
Fury
It would only be logical common sense to state Marciano's rating has dropped.

- - OK, then let it be U storming IBRO to give them a proper lecture in your transgibbering dialect as to where they need to place Rocky somewhere rearward near U rearward......

IBRO means nothing to me as far as I'm concerned its a lot of insecure people paying X amount of $$$ to say they belong to it and thereby gain whatever kudos they think they can from the fact.All you need to be a member is $$$
Their collective opinion means as much to me as yours, ie **** all.

Liston

Rocky is no longer in my top ten and neither is Frazier. Others will rank them where they will,they will not care where I put them. nor I where they do.

Would you like me to send you a pm when I am going to post something? I wouldn't want you to miss any of my content! lol

Marciano was the favourite in every title fight he was in,

Oh yeah usually the favorite but never thought unbeatable --> he was always doubted and there was always money bet against him. But yes, the favorite except maybe Walcott I.

Marciano was the favourite against Walcott in both fights.

Marciano was the favourite against Walcott in both fights.

Yea OK but don't you see the point I am trying to make? That he was always thought beatable.

Yes the betting favorite but not the legendary champion his undefeated record eventually brings him.

Some people seriously thought Charles, Walcott, even Louis would expose him. Rex Layne, first time out, (pre-title) had many thinking he would expose Marciano.

I guess what I am trying to say is that he was thought more highly of after he stopped fighting. At the time he was thought to be mortal.

Maybe he was thought more highly of because of his indomitable will to win. I don't know, just trying to think of why.

Yea I think so too.

Certainly one of the most dramatic careers regarding what happened in the ring itself. No political or social issues on the table. But damn near every fight had some kind of Hollywood romance to it. Come from behind one punch KO, having to fight his hero, ripped open face, gets KD. No fight ever seemed a certainty. The stuff legends are made of.

Louis was favourite to beat him probably sentimental money.I presume you meant Lastarza not Layne? Lastarza was the favourite in their 1st fight.
