250lb Marciano, Most Powerful of All Time?

[Kid Achilles]

They do not check your height for those licenses, nor do they for your driver's license. I am 5'9" on the nose (or close to it) and my friend, who is no taller than I am, has 5'11" listed on his license.

The Patterson picture isn't proof. We don't know what kind of footwear they are each wearing and Patterson is leaning forward a little. Patterson would be taller if he stood up straight.

And you knew what kind of footwear they were wearing at the Oscars? Thats Hypocrite.

My pic is the only real proof.

everything officialy on record states 5'11 or 5'11 1/2 as far as i can tell........

i want proof that he wasnt that height........and eddie murphy dosnt count because i have no idea how tall he was.......

i think for for evidence far outways the against so far

[BKM-]

Yes, every measurement has been over 5,11. Never 5,9 or 5,10. And i finally posted a pic to prove it and its still not good enough.

Just because he LOOKED smaller than Murphy doesnt mean its true. Or just because he LOOKS smaller than you think.

[micky_knox]

i agree with you m8

[sleazyfellow]

i once heard a commentator say that tyson was 5'11 but look 5'10 cause of the squareishness of his build...lol actually heard him say that, so id go with what he said

What your trying to tell us is that Tyson is 5'11, that was his fighting height but I'm decently sure he wore risers in his shoes......

i doubt he wore risers in his shoes in fights because it would affect his balance........

Heres some controversy for everyone.
It has been said time and time again by Rocky haters that he has overrated power and is not nearly as strong as alot of heavyweights because of his small stature (I disagree but thats beside the point). Well then, think about this.
Marciano fought Ali in the computer fight and rumor has it that Rocky knocked him down and out with a strong shot to the body (we've all heard this). But many wonder if its true. Marciano was out of shape, aged, and 300 pounds before the fight. He got into shape and dropped down to 250 pounds for his fight with Ali. Anyone that knows boxing knows that power is the last thing to leave a fighter.
Rocky still had the technique and knowledge to throw the punches that made him so powerful, he was older but that didn't matter much, but he was about 50 pounds heavier and determined. So I ask this:
Is the 250 pound Rocky Marciano that fought the 'Superfight' with Ali, the hardest hitter of all time?

** Nah, 350 lb Jimmy Wilde is the most powerful fighter ever. Next dumb question!

Could 350 lb. Jimmy Wilde defeat a small gorilla?
