    Marciano was small compared to most heavyweights champ and his reach was merely about 68 inches but I believe he can be devastating. That one punch right cross to always crafty Walcott that separate Waltz from his senses was a prime example. Marciano does not possess great speed or technical skills like being grace but he impose himself inside and does the clubbing blows which was very effective. Though he never cross Louis prime, it's hard to say how can he take Louis punches. But still Marciano should be considered among boxing finest.

        When marciano threw a punch he looked like he was swinging a bat! he put all his weight into his punches.

            Marciano is P4P the strongest fighter ever.

              He's strong even compared to larger heavyweight like Ali, Holmes, Tyson.

                I dont buy that. I dont see how he was any stronger than Jack Dempsey.

                  Ali was really a very weak puncher for a man of his size. He really was quite a huge guy if you ever look at his stats.

                    I havn't seen Dempsey fight so I cant rank him. Of the fighters I have seen fight. Marciano is P4P the strongest.

                      LMAO! Ali is not a puncher at all! he was never known for his power but his speed and aglility he was known for. He was a volume puncher with an awesome jab and 1,2 combination.
