i think Vitali Klitschko was very over rated they all said he was gonna take Lewis' place because no one else was there, i mean Ali,Frazier,Foreman,Norton and Holmes would destroy him in the old era and 2day Tyson Bowe Lewis (who DID beat him)and Rock would hav beaten him..Bowe was over rated, so was Mike Spinks even tho i say he was never a heavy lol,
Ali beat 11 GOOD or higher boxers...Cooper could hav had him..frazier norton and spinks all beat ali before he beat them...

Rock beat about 5 or 6 good or higher fighters, but he beat Joe Louis

roy jones was over, Eubank and liston

idk if anyone has said this one yet, but i think larry holmes was overrated, then im sorry but id have to say marciano was too, only because he never faught a Mohammed Ali, or Floyd Patterson, Sonny Liston, or a prime archie moore, a prime joe louis, or a prime jersey joe walcott, i think the average age of his apponents was like 39 or 40 yrs old. i once heard someone say he was like a rose in a wastefield, or something like that, in other words no one ever got a chance to see how great marciano really was

Rocky Marciano did get to fight a prime Jersey Joe Walcott, in there bout Walcott fought the fight of his life and was at his absolute best. Unfortunatley he lost.

Floyd Patterson- marciano was supposed to fight Floyd Patterson but when Patterson was offered the chance Patterson said he was going to fight Light Heavy weight for a few years.

Arche Moore wasn't prime against Marciano, in fact i believe his prime was when he was a LHW more so then when he was a HW but i still believe he'd beat Moore. because at that point in Marciano's career Rocky wasn't prime either (more or less)

Marciano wanted to come out of retirement to fight Liston because Rocky hated liston, unfortunatley at this point Rocky had been retired to long to hope to make a comeback (4 years) by this time Rocky was already well over 200lbs, probably close to 300lbs

It is unproven, I am only going by what I have been told and read. I read that Ali was knocked down and unable to get up. I believe he would be knocked down and its possible he couldn't get up immediately. I heard he got up after about 5 minutes. I doubt it was that long, maybe 10 seconds.

This story gets more and more unbelieveable every time i hear it. Lets be realistic about this, Ali was hit by tremendous left hooks to the body by Joe Frazier... and Frazier worked the body over better then any HW.. Ali did not waver. George Foreman hit ali with quote 'the hardest body punch i ever hit someone with'.

The story i heard is Ali was being a smartass and jabbing at Marciano's hairpiece which kept falling off, Marciano warned him... Ali did it again... Ali whilst unprepared for it, out of fighting condition was hit with a good bodyshot and Ali was hurt. Following this Ali and Marciano developed mutual respect and a good friendship. I can believe this, but i will not believe that Ali was on the ground in pain for 5 minutes.
