Who was GREATER. Rocky Marciano or Willie Pep.

Pep is higher on my pound for pound list so him.

Both heavily overrated the defence king who got brain damage while boxing or the undefeated cruiserweight champion who was knocked down by guys who would be fighting at LHW

Well Ali got Parkison's and Sugar Ray Robinson pugilistica dementia after their career ended. It happens...

Ray Robinson had no problem or Armstrong

Robinson suffered Alzheimer's in his later years, whether it's related to boxing, I don't know.

And 240+ fights plus sparring sessions in the gym will give a fighter lasting damage, no matter how good his defense is/was.

Ali fought way too long that was his problem and fought the hardest hitters. Pep was a featherweight for god sake,

Why don’t most boxer who fought past 100 get it than, JCC never got it. Also Robinson isn’t talked about his defence as Brain dead Pep is

Pep was hardly 'brain-dead' during his later days. He was still articulate.
