give me the honest truth about rocky marciano

[badass316]

He was a joke.

LMAO! The man whose considered one of the greatest heavyweights of all-time is a "joke." Classic. From that response I wouldn't be surprised if you thought Paul Williams or Hasegawa was a better fighter than Marciano, since he is after all a "joke."

He was a joke.

You racist bastard.

He was a joke.

why do you say this? from what ive seen so far he seems to have been the real deal...like someone said, it seems like he doesnt get enough credit (like the kilthckos) only because he was white



where is he ranked on the ATG list?

[Calilloyd]

Honest truth: Marciano was an ATG fighter.

He was heavyweight champion of the world from 1952 to 1955, and went 49-0. He was an exciting fighter who KOed most of his opponents - two of his fights were selected as "Fight of the Year".

Rocky was a small HW, and virtually all of his opponents were taller and had a reach advantage. It was amazing that he achieved so much with a 67" reach and such short arms.

He never ducked anybody, he fought the best available opponents.

Sadly, some people hate and discredit Marciano because he was white.

The same thing you do with black fighters.

ATG. Beat Charles and Jersey Joe Walcott...Moore was getting up there in age and Louis was shot.

You racist bastard.

Tunney you are so paranoid.

Why am I HUGE fan of Pep, Benny, and Locche?

Huh?

So stop calling me racist, okay. Last time I called you out on that in the other thread you ducked me. You said I hated Euro fighters. Then I told you Froch, AA and Adamek are 3 of my faves and you dissapeared.

Right... that's why the consensus #1 p4p fighther of all-time is white (SRR) as well as the guy whose recognized as the greatest HW of all-time is also white (Ali). People are so racist against black fighters in boxing...

[FightMoney]

He was a great fighter, but after watching the Joe Louis fight he was nowhere near as great as Joe. Joe was old in his last fight and was out boxing him before gassing because of age. In Joe's prime he would have polished him.

No I don't. You do to white boxers, though.

I've never seen a single positive comment from you about a white boxer. I can imagine what you'll post about Marciano.
