Who Is Boxings Best Role-Model?

[StarshipTrooper]

It beggars belief.. A 38 year old Louis was still brave enough to fight a 25 year old unbeaten Marciano.. It's like saying Rock was a coward for fighting an old man..
Maybe Slime once got rogered by a by some big ****, wearing a Joe Louis mask..

You know, I thought of a way to send Slimey Limey completely bark raving mad: I'll start ten threads about Joe Louis and ten threads about Ray Robinson then ignore Slimey so he can't post in any of them.....

i might do that actually

[Slimey Limey]

Ever notice that you never see me bad mouthing Marciano? I've critiqued him before, to demonstrate to certain parties that any fighter can be dissected and found wanting in some way. Even so I do not believe I have ever disparaged him. I refuse to let the venom of a prick like Slimey Limey poison the respect I have for Marciano.

Poet

So now you blatantly LIE about things, Poet?

.Oh? You mean like Marciano's biggest wins coming against Walcott, Charles, Louis, and Moore: Fighters all past it?

Most of you know Marciano was a slow, clusmsy, low-skilled fighter who ate punches and bled like Henry Cooper, but you have this Rocky love imprinted in you. I have yet to see a Marciano nuthugger admit a single flaw about the man.



Oh, you mean the way Marciano was dropped by Moore: A LIGHT-Heavyweight.



Hmmm. The fight was even on the cards at the time of the stoppage I believe. Please explain how that is "easy". Of course that also means a PRIME Marciano was made to look foolish by an old man.

Exposed yet again. You're making this a habit mate. Think before you post.

No not seen you slag him off true. I think you should have respect for all fighters takes guts to climb between the ropes. As for degrees of respect or how you rate someone that is personal taste. Must say this fellow does Marciano little credit the route he goes. I'm pretty ambivalent about the Klit brothers, respect them but not my cup of tea, but where people are slagging off and re-writing history with fighters I respect I do find myself critisizing them more than I normally would.
Did read Tunney make the point if you don't like them don't watch them, certainly will be my tactics after that Chaguev fight.

And you were the one to call him out on crapping on Marciano and made him ***** out and lower his tone.

you are sitting on a computer chair, and you are calling one of the greatest boxers ever to step into the ring a coward.....

no need to read the rest of your post

Did I compare him to myself you moron? Did I say he didn't do or say things like I did? No, so read the post.
I'm comparing him to OTHER ROLE MODELS, because this thread is about ROLE MODELS. And compared to Ali and Johnson, he is a coward.

It beggars belief.. A 38 year old Louis was still brave enough to fight a 25 year old unbeaten Marciano.. It's like saying Rock was a coward for fighting an old man..

You didn't read my post either. Lots of Louis lads are illiterate I see.
He was a coward for allowing himself to be used as a puppet and not having the guts to speak out and show his true self, like Johnson and Ali did. It has nothing to do with his in ring accomplishments.

[Slimey Limey]

I agree Marciano gets a lot of unfair criticism and he was indeed a great champion, fighter and man. Criticising another fighter will not increase anyones opinion of Marciano though will it?
As for Louis womanising it would make me consider other fighters such as Marciano above Louis as a role model. But I would also pay credit to Louis for the dignified way he carried himself as a champion, I am not a fan of the Klitschko brothers but I acknowledge the dignified way they carry themselves as champions.
Louis was not a perfect human being, nor was Marciano nor are you nor am I so I choose not to judge others.
When looking at boxers I judge them by their fighting and by the manner in which the wear the crown so to speak, I have little interest in their private lives.

I am a Big Marciano fan, As big as they get, Slimey you make some good points about Rocky at times, but then you ruin it with hating on Louis, Therefore people dont get to see your good points.


Rocky was a Great fighter and man, and gets hated on alot. But throwing hate back at others fighters is not the answer. Even if you are telling the truth.


People say Rocky is overated. i beleave that is bull**** to be honest, because there are as many people that underate Rocky as there are people who overate him.


Joe Louis made mistakes yes. But calling him a coward is totally wrong. The Man was a positive for our sport. He conducted himself well in the ring. Rocky Marciano respected the hell out of him. and Joe Louis Respected Rocky. I think you need to drop the hate comments, Make points but you dont need to bring down Joe Louis. Instead why not build a case for Rocky?

Again, you lads are only seeing what you want to see. You call posting facts about Louis that don't make him look like a God everyone here sees him as, insulting. Everything I say is either completely true or has some truth in it.

Why should he get a free pass? Just about everybody else receives negativity. mr Louis should be no diffirent.

We could also bring Schmelling into the equation..
Although often used as Hitlers puppet.. This had nothing to do with him as a man..
In later life Louis's health deteriorated & he would have become destitute, had it not been for the life long financial support given to him by his mutual friend & former foe..
Schmelling was indeed a great ambassador, for mankind as well as boxing..

Great call!!

Apparently literacy isn't one of your strong suits either as you apparently missed the highlighted line.
