  • Yeah and he lost fights too lol. He had more knockouts but he had more losses also. If Marciano kept going, it probably would've been the same thing. More knockouts but more losses.

      No shame in losing to Ali. The Rumble in the Jungle was actually Foreman most famous fight, even though he lost! lol It was also the only KO defeat he ever suffered.

          don't downgrade marciano's opponents he had some really good ones

          Prime Jersey Joe Walcott
          Ezzard Charles
          Carmine Vingo was an up and coming boxer
          Roland LaStarza was a veteran of the ring
          and even Joe Louis was nobody to be messed with (though not nearly as good as he was)

          and even archie moore

            yea but see Marciano is also admired for being smart and staying retired he also retired on the top of his game, and stayed retired

            though i am glad foreman came out of retirement cause even though he was old he was still kickin ass

                I respect Marciano for being smart and staying retired. I felt he would lose if he tried to make a comeback. He actually retired early because of an injury I think. He wanted to make a comeback and fight Liston, but I think that since Marciano was in his late 30's early 40's and badly out of condition, I think he would have lost. Good job his friends talked him out of it.

                • yea he retired because of a back injury that was getting worse, he went up to 300lbs, he wanted to make a come back not only to fight sonny liston but also ali

                  and to tell you the truth i don't think he would have kept his perfect record but i do think that if he lost it wouldn't be more then 3 times and it wouldn't because he was bad it would be because he wouldn't be able to get conditioned i mean for the computer fight it took 3 months of straight training and dieting to get from 300 to 240 and he usually fought at 188 so ya see why he'd be having trouble but if he managed to make a come back at 188 he would wipe the floor with the competition

                    no way he would beat ali, liston, or patterson in his 40s.

                    • he would beat patterson, and liston and have a decent shot at ali

                      its all about how well conditioned he was, and it would most likely not be in his 40's, you gotta remember fighters from marciano's era could fight into there early 40's and not be to much worse then they were, i mean Jersey Joe Walcott only got better as he got older, Archie Moore still was really good when he got older, Joe Louis wasn't as good as he was but could still kick ass and be a top contender later in his life, its all about how conditioned they were

                      if Marciano conditioned the only person you mentioned that he would have trouble with would be ali because he'd be dancing around
