Poll: Could Marciano Have Beaten Holyfield?

[them_apples]

Really? Trade and clinch all night long?? You obviously don't know Marciano, No way in hell will Evander be able to Trade then clinch with Rocky, NO ONE in Rockys whole Career could slow down Rocky , The fact is when Evander was in a tough fight He Brawled, if he Brawls Rocky, he will come off Second Best.


Anyway, we can debate back and forth and we wont get anywhere. Its really amusing to me that The ONLY undefeated HW champion of ALL TIME, seems to have little to no chance against anyone he is matched up against.


So I will finish my comments off with some of the REAL experts opinions on Rockys Strengh and Power.



Joe Louis

"It hurt to bump into him....He hits harder than Max Schmeling...this kid is tough enough to beat anyone."

"The Rock didn't know too much about the boxing book, but it wasn't a book he hit me with. It was a whole library of bone crushers."



Jersey Joe Walcott


"Joe could take you out with combinations...Marciano was a one-punch artist. He threw every punch like you throw a baseball, as hard as he could. I have to say, with all respect to Joe, Marciano hit harder."



Ezzard Charles


"Rocky numbs you all over. Wherever he hits you, he hurts you; on the arms, the shoulders, the neck and the head."



Archie Moore


"After a fight with Marciano, it felt like you had been beat all over the upper body with a blackjack or hit with rocks."


"He could hurt you, sure, but it was the quantity of his punches. He just had more stamina than anyone else in those days. He was like a bull with gloves."



And Here is One Last Quote From Muhammad Ali

When asked who out of ALL the Great heavyweight champions, Who would give him the most trouble, Ali Replied "Rocky Marciano"

this post looks all fine and dandy untill you break it down, you did some careful picking and choosing.

Ali said Rocky would give him the most trouble soon after the Rocks death. that pretty much says it all. He also said he'd woop on Marciano.

Archie Moore "He could hurt you, sure, but it was the quantity of his punches. He just had more stamina than anyone else in those days. He was like a bull with gloves."

Yea he said that, but in that same paragraph I believe he had just finished saying Marciano was not the hardest puncher he had faced, and that it was more so his stamina.

Moore also said Patterson hit harder than Marciano.

Louis was old as hell and on a comeback....

Believe me, fighting on the back foot against a big guy who is pressuring you non stop is way, WAY harder than ****ing with someone you think you can overpower.

still box, i just started training for competition this year though, I started boxing and didn't plan on competing untill I started doing really well in sparring.

I've always been a boxing fan though because of my father and because I look at it as an art. I have an Artistic background..

I don't really know where boxing is taking me i just like it so much.

no Idea when i'll be fighting. I don't know what i'll be doing for a Career yet either. I had a construction job but I quit it for various reasons (one being i had no life doing 10 hours a day). I'm 19 as you can see, not too old - really don't know whats up ahead for me.
