where are we going with this

**** Marcianofan when was that picture of Marciano playing pingpong? Looks in brilliant condition there. Definately the frame for a 200 pounder.

I believe that was him training to fight against Walcott for the title because thats the only time he wore the Grossingers and Holland Furnace shirts (to the best of my knowledge) let me double check

I'm pretty sure

While Ali was out of shape when Marciano punched him in the gut, there's no way he was in worse shape than Marciano by that point. Ali had been removed from the ring for a couple of years, where Rocky had been away for more than ten. For those of us who exercise, you know that taking a little time off, while it softens your exterior, it doesn't mean that you can't take (almost) the same level of punishment you could before. This is still a worthless topic...

Jack johnson is overrated. Tyson is overratted. Lewis is overrated. Klistkho is overrated

Marciano is overrated due the zero he has in his record. If marciano fought longer he would've lost a few times.

Dempsey is underrated.

I think I'm the most overrated boxer in history. I mean, I think I'm pretty skilled, and pretty talented, and I'm in good shape, but I couldn't touch the pros. Only in theory...or just in my head.

Marciano trained for it like it was a fight, took it very serious indeed. I box and have done martial arts most my life, i can't even begin to comprehend the adverse effects of a 3 1/2 year layoff... because i know how a month layoff effects my own conditioning. Its irrelevant at any rate, the computer fight was a ridiculous concept.

not really considering it was entertaining to watch, plus it racked enough moeny not to be considered ridiculous. Sometimes things aren't always there to make sense just to make money

and let me tell you if i had a fight of Muhammad Ali vs Joe Schmoe and i knew it would rack in big bucks i'd definitely sell it to a theather

duh, if any fighter fights to long he's bound to lose
example
Ali - Ali should have retired after he won the title from Leon Spinks but every fighter thinks they got one good fight left and thats there down fall

Even Marciano thought he had one good fight left and was ready to sign for 2 or 3 more fights but retired due to a back injury and manager pro***es.
