Why I've come to respect Rocky Marciano so much (and it's not about 49-0).

    by the way I don’t think Bronson is behind the alt. I have a feeling I know who is but I won’t contribute anymore.

      It isn't me,TBH the first time I saw it I thought he had made it himself as a piss take ,and I thought that's actually pretty clever turning the tables,but apparently it isn't .
      Who ever it is he/she, doesn't seem to want to own it.
      Years ago McGrain on ESB changed my own avatar,to an old wrinkly guy I've no idea how he did it, but it was clever and pretty funny,when I told him I liked it ,he changed it back.

        He’ll be claiming it’s me next (it’s not). Poor dude is just paranoid and not very bright.

          1: cruiserweights - especially good ones, just like light heavyweights - have no issue taking down or beating heavyweights. Usyk was a former cruiserweight. Getting on TRT or eating a lot to bulk up is not whats improving his chances.

          2: size is determined by your frame, ligaments and muscle insertions. Weight is variable. A small man can be fat (200+) a large man can actually be underweight. You want the ideal weight - which is usually much lighter than people realize.

          you can see this in old fighters when they retire. Many of them get very heavy.

          3. all these weight division first and foremost were created largely in part for money. Multiple titles means multiple high stakes fights for the public. Yes of course there would have been under matched smaller fighters who got beat up by larger fighters, but we so quickly forget when the opposite happens. This is dangerous too. Take Margarito vs Pacquaio. Pacquiao said something like âÃÂÃÂboxing isnâÃÂÃÂt about killingâÃÂÃÂ.

          and yes Langford vs Rock is a brutal match up
          - - Usyk was the Olympic Heavy Gold medalist before turning pro in the modern Professional weight classes that are clearly above what young Cassius Clay turned pro in.
