    Louis was only a 6/5 favourite

    People at the time, that had saw Joe Louis in fights leading up to this one, did not feel he was as washed up as y'all are claiming he was


    The people around him had been wanting him to stop for a long time, Marciano just put the nail in the coffin of his career.

      Plenty clinching, moving around the ring, rabbit punching, punching people while they were on one knee.

        lmao....Rocky Marciano never beat 10 top ten contenders lol


        Mayweather is 26-0 in title fights...Beat ten lineal champions and dozens of top ten contenders...Several of them were top 3



        Mayweather>Marciano who has one of the thinnest resumes for any heavyweight champion considered an ATG

          Getting battered and being fun to watch doesn't = greatness
