When we were Kings(Foreman on the bag :D)

[RockyMarcianofan00]

Nobody hit way harder than Marciano. Its possible that Foreman hit harder (and even that has been argued many times) but way harder? No way.

agreed
Marciano had the hardest hit ever and i'm not talking p4p but the truth is that Foremans punch rivaled rocky's it wasn't harder, it may have been as hard but it wasn't harder

but people don't believe this because Rocky was small people need to relize that just cause rocky was small doesn't mean he can't hit harder ITS NOT ALL ABOUT HEIGHT AND WEIGHT


this is power

========Have you any evidence of this?========

** Dunno what you consider evidence. More than a dozen Ali bios out, most of which I've read. Sadler is mentioned in various roles and clearly was associated with Ali from his first pro days. It's out there in one of his bios in his own words or one of his camp.

I will definitely concede that it's not all about height and weight; but between two well conditioned combatants with professional skills it does help. Rocky was quicker than Foreman which does add a lot to a person's power when used effectively (see: Bruch Lee). I guess we'll never know for sure.

P.S. Rocky has a beautiful right hand; textbook when he's posing.

Hardest punchers;

1. Foreman
2. Shavers
3. Marciano


Ain't talking pound for pound. Foreman and shavers hit harder than Marciano. Very rarely did Marciano fight any good fighter over 200lbs. A lot of his ko's were against light heavyweight bums and washed up champions. It took him about 14 rounds to KO light heavy Archire Moore, and Archie was whupping Marciano up to that point.

Foreman KO'd great (and actual) heavyweights in early rounds. In over 4 years nobody could even get past the first few rounds with Foreman. Frazier and Norton were both dispatched within the first 2 rounds!

Foreman KO'd real heavyweights in rounds 1 -2 in most of his fights. Name anyone who went 15 rounds with Foreman in his prime? Even when he was an old man Foreman was knocking the young top contenders out and the champ in 1994.

Marciano was often lucky with punchers and took countless rounds of beatings in order to land one KO punch.

haha rocky was quicker than foreman, but yet foreman obliterated frazier and norton, who both beat ali the fastest one of them all? to beat ali you have to be fast yourself, and the fact that foreman beat them makes him fast too. marciano struggled to ko moore, walcott the first time, charles both times and a washed up joe louis. so foreman is 10x as fast as marciano.

Well said Butterfly!

Well said Butterfly!

thank you, i do try!

Rocky was quicker than Foreman

What a ****** statement. Have you seen how slow Rocky plodded around the ring? - thats how he earned the nickname of Rocky Sloppiano! Foreman was surprisingly speedy in his prime.

Stinger, before speaking about a fight, it's usually a good thing to watch it or atleast have read something about it from a reliable source...These comments here shows you've done neither.

of course you pick one lapse comment and ignore the rest.

It took Marciano 9 rounds to ko a ligh heavyweight. Not very good for the apparent hardest ever hitter... And he was also being bashed about by walcott before a lucky near end ko. Went the full distance with Charles and had many close encouters with a ko himself.

The fact still stands that if you look at Marciano's record, his career is mainly made up of late round ko's of light heavyweights and not very good fighters. Watching his fights, his punchers are not as explosive or carry as much stopping power as Foremans.

Marciano was around in a bad era of heavyweights. Not his fault, but it says more for Foreman for destroying greater fighters in a shorter time in arguably the greatest era of heavyweights.
