Where Do You Place Rocky Marciano in Your Heavyweight Top 10?

Behind Rocky Balboa

You just can't say, because he fought soooo many faded fighters.

He didn't just fight a faded Joe Louis, the guy was waaaaaay retired, and over the hill. And you didn't have any PEDS that has lead to this magical mexican old man boxing revival.

Frankly, Marciano fighting Joe Louis was a disgrace, and Rocky should be ashamed.

Marciano hit very hard, and had a great chin, but the Ali that fought Liston would've embarrassed him, schooled him. But then again, that Ali would've beaten anybody.

louis was actually favored to beat marciano so he wasnt exactly a corpse,,lol. that said,,,its really hard rating marciano very high. he had the big undefeated record but would struggle mightilly imo against the top 10 atg at there primes. id probably put him just outside the top 10 but thats debatable

he's not top 10.

american joe calzaghe.

even fat ass david tua would whoop him.

fecking chris ******* would beat him.

I agree. Tyson is a BAD matchup for Marciano. Tyson would destroy Marciano. Marciano only lasts past the second round because of a great chin.

I just put in his size because people think he was a little guy. Well if he was little so was Tyson. In those days they trained to fight 15 hard rounds.

Yeah I know what you mean.

This is rubbish. Marciano was the better boxer, they had comparable power, and Marciano was very underrated defensively. Marciano would probably stop Tyson in the late rounds after thouroughly outboxing him and frustrating him. It would be a phonebooth fight, a vicious one, but Marciano was one of the greatest to ever step into a ring, to say he only gets past the second round because of his chin is just irresponsible.

I could see tyson maybe fouling out or quitting if the rock could hang in there till the late rounds but I cant see marciano winning any other way. tyson would just be too fast imo

Walcott dropped Marciano early and so did friggen Moore!

dont recall saying tyson wouldnt or couldnt put him down or down and out. he probably would stop marciano

[M Bison]

You don't have Larry Holmes in your top 10??? That is absurd...

Back to topic, Marciano would be anywhere from 10-15 I'm not sure... I don't think anybody can criticize the Klitschkos for having a weak division then defend Rockys!

Its absurd you can't respect not everyone holds the same opinion/view as you that you'd need to bring that up.
