How Will History Remember Rocky Marciano?

[Southpaw16BF]

Poll To Come!

[geribeetus]

power chin and stamina out the wazoo. possibly the greatest combination of the 3 of any heavyweight champion ever. i have no idea why he gets slept on so much in h2h polls.

Marciano will be remembered for 49-0

Marciano was a great fighter, just not really an all-time great fighter, IMO.

The lack of good competition on his resume outshines the fact that he retired undefeated. Most of his opponents were C level fighters.

hard to argue with that but can only beat those in front of you and only a handful remained on their feet.

People either overrate him or way underrate him. He's a top 10 HW though.

[Tsukiyomi]

He came along at a slow time in the division, and TCB with no losses. Really nothing to hold against him.

I think he is a definite ATG, and I think possibly underrated by many. He was a small heavy though.

Except for his 6 fights against HOFers.:thinking1:

Notice the word "most".

[Jim Jeffries]

Notice the word "most".

I noticed

"the lack of good opposition on his resume."

"Most" of just about anyone's resume is comprised of C level fighters or worse.
