Lennox Lewis vs Rocky Marciano

[Bushbaby]

Marciano wouldn't be much more than a light heavyweight in Lewis's ear. Dude was 183 at most. Lewis is too big & too strong with too good of a jab. Due to the size difference, I'd say Lewis on his best day could beat any heavyweight from any era. (However, George Foreman may be the exception).

He would beat Marciano rather easily; but to say any HW might be a stretch; Ali Joe Loius or Jack Johnson would give Lennox utter hell.

This might be hard for some of you to understand.

but Rocky Marciano was a 5'7 Light Heavy weight who fought at 175 pounds.

He was by no means 5'10.. I got historical fact on this.. He was not 5'10.. He was 5'7. They had a correlation of Height/Boxer ratio graph and

Rocky Marciano was actually SHORTER THAN FLOYD MAYWEATHER.

The guy also weight at 175.. and since people back than were ******ed at math. it was probably 160.

SO WE talking a 5'7 160 pound Middleweight here.. Lewis will utterly crush him with a jab..

I agree completely, people's lack of knowledge of the sport shows when its said fighters who learned from Marciano/Dempsey would some how beat them!

Funny you say that because you keep saying Lennox 'gassed' and have no stamina later on in fights.. yet stats prove he won 94% of his later rounds.

He swept rounds 9-12 against Zeijko and he swept rounds 8 9 and 10 against Mercer.

He swept rounds 9 10 11 and 12 against Holyfield I and 10-12 in Holyfield II.


He also was the one coming back in rounds 4-6 against Vitali.. that was a 37/38 year old version..

So Joe Louis was only probably 5'10" and Willard was only 6 '1".

I don't know about Willard. but Joe Louis was 6'1 6'2.. The picture you saw of Rocky has been distorted.


And WOOT G**** @ Me 500th post on Skittlezz

Marciano had bombs for hands and a chin made of granite. Lewis has height but no stamina, while on the other hand Marciano could fight a 15 rounder, be hit on a constant basis; yet apply so much pressure he would find an opening and knock you out.

Prime example, Willard 6'6" fight with Dempsey 6'1" and Dempsey the small man punished him; to make the worst beating in boxing history. Do I think Rocky and Lennox fight would happen like that, No.

Willard was nothing more than a homeless man's Lennox Lewis.

Lewis TKO about round 4.
