        Did Marciano rely on one shot and one shot only?

            Nah he's not an embarrassment, he doesn't warrant the hype though..he's devastating against lower level opposition, but we've seen with the Fury fight, Ortiz fight...and the 1st Stiverne fight (arguably his three toughest fights) he's not as good as his team and his fanboys say he is.

              He’s been in the business over 400 years and still lacks the technical skills..that’s the only reason everyone been on em lately.

                I don't think so. He is a great puncher and a sloppy mediocre boxer.

                    Hmmm. That's a bit disingenuous, ain't it? I mean - you are one of the folk that have been slating Wilder, aintcha? And I haven't seen a lot of such comments -or at least certainly no more than the normal post fight triumphalism that happens after any hyped fighter takes a knock.

                    Dude was a late starter and is never going to make an illustration in textbooks on boxing fundamentals, but he's still a hellishly dangerous finisher who would stand a fairish chance of KOing pretty much any fighter in history on any given night.
