    Rocky Marciano's resume sucks

    Yeah, impressive that he was undefeated and had such a high KO percentage, but he never beat a dangerous opponent, how can he be considered an ATG!? Many boxers of recent times got better resumes, including Froch, Kessler, Ward, Calzaghe, Mayweather, Pacquiao, Wladimir, Abraham, Hopkins, etc... I'm not saying that Marciano is not good, but he is certainly not a proven ATG.

    Well... Archie Moore was an okay win.

    I will say he wasn't really very good at all.

      Not the best heavy by any means, a lot of people hold him in high regard. Me, not so much.

      Is he in your top 10?

          Marciano's opposition was weak, no doubt. His resume is FAR from ATG worthy, IMO...

            Are you just out to hate on classic fighters, then?

              I hate no one, I bet Marciano was a nice guy.

              I'm a big fan of classic fighters Ali, Foreman, Leonard, Hagler.

                Marciano did what he had to do. You can't fault the man for that.

                    It looks like he's making click-bait thread titles that garner a lot of replies.
