Every Boxer Sucks

I assure you Marciano didnt lose in any of his professional bouts. He stared boxing right into amateurs and his amateur record was 8-4, less than perfect but he didn't box his whole life like every other boxer of that time and our own.Originally posted by Souza2012Lets not forget Marciano lost twice early in his career under a different name.
You just continue to amaze me with your insider knowledge of the sport.
Marciano had good boxing skill, he has a unique style in the ring but hell, it worked didnt it? He adapted to his style and whipped out the entire Heavyweight division and light heavy fighters without losing. He fought guys like Moore because he already whipped the heavy division clean, there was noone left to give him a challenge. People are critical of Marciano because he is a great Italian boxer with the most stellar record in the history of the sport. You cant take that away from him.
Ray Robinson fought guys like Jake Lamotta because he drew in crowds, boxing was the same as it is now, its about money. Obviously his fights with Lamotta were the fight the public wanted to see.Comment

Wow, someone even made one for Ray Robinson. This guy is even better than me at this.Originally posted by butterfly1964Oh, really? Robinson ducked every good black fighter of his time and the black guys he did fight gave him a hell of a time. Charlie Bell gave him the fight of his life until Robinson ko'd him. Robinson ducked Charlie Burley completely cause he knew he would lose. He ducked Randy Turpin for a long time until they finally fought, and when they did, Ray lost! And in their second fight Turpin was winning, until Robin got lucky and knocked him out. He ducked all these guys so he could fight slow footed italian white guys like jake lamotta, gene fullmer and carmen basilio, and he couldn't even win all those fights. Robinson padded his reecord by taking European tours fighting guys with records like 10-20 when Robinson already had over 100 fights. Ray Robinson di a lot of ducking and dodging in his career.Comment

I can do one for Leonard.Originally posted by pigguRay Leonard
Leonard was a feather fisted fighter who would run from all of his opponents in the ring. The one time he actually stood his ground and fought he got his ass kicked by Duran.
Most of his "wins" were gift decisions based on his popularity, much like De La Hoya. He was lucky enough to land some fluke punches against Hearns when he was trailing on points in their first fight, the draw in the second fight was ridiculous, and don't get me started on his so-called win agains Hagler.Comment

Spent almost his entire career in the middleweight division, and never fought a decent middleweight. His reign of 19 or 20 straight title defences is a complete fraud because in most of those fights he was just defending an invalid alphabet belt, and he didn't even become the real undisputed middleweight champ until he beat Trinidad. So his reign of title defenses really consisted of about 5 or 6. Trinidad and De La Hoya were fighting way above their natural weight classes and were not actual middleweights, all of his other opponents might as well have been hobos off the street they ****** soo bad.Originally posted by BonafideThis is a tough one bro...Bernard Hopkins.Comment
