[jas]

Tough as nails,power in both hands and he was all heart

But not as great as David haye

[Richard Wadd]

marciano was great, he catches too much flak for moore/charles/walcott being on the downside.

he developed into a better defensive fighter than people give him credit for.

You can't blame a fighter for fighting when he does, he beat quality names and that version of Charles and Walcott beat any and everyone in this era.

Most overrated boxer in the history of boxing....not only that but the Italian mafia interfered with most of his matches too

Most underrated. One of the greatest ever.

post pics of his weigh ins. We'll see if he's ATG Material.

Not his fault they were old, he fought everyone and still retired undefeated.

Seriously tho, I bet Holyfield would give Marciano hell.

He's one of the classic fighters that, when you look at his footage, you can see that he'd absolutely be competitive with today's styles and fighters. With some guys, you have to wonder how they would adapt to the way guys fight now. With Marciano, you know he's still a relevant discussion.

Well said I agree. Marciano would give anyone hell in this era, a dominating force in the HW or cruiser division for sure.
