Rocky Marciano

[just the facts]

Yo, I feel you, man. Boxing game done changed big time from Rocky Marciano's days to the 70s-90s. Fighters stepped up their game, techniques got hella polished, and the competition went through the roof, no doubt. Things got real intense, no cap.

Wtf is “cap”?

There’s not one quality hwt in Marcianos era that he didn’t fight.

Lunatics here and on the other site have told me these odd quotes. I don't know what I'm looking at. Quotes from a trainer say otherwise. Watch highlights/breakdowns./I'll take that trainer's word over yours/,I need to learn boxing,/If a guy was a novice,/,Why did he get ranked so high?/

Why have trainers and boxers said srr/louis were great then...,

yet they refuse to show me as wrong in full matches of advances 30s-40s had in angle used/tech/timing/defense/fluidness over 70s-90s,yet i can post many full matches showing im right,why wont they if i'm so called a liar i'm not blind either

The records of the guys he fought the year before he won the title:

8 8 1
4 14 3
13 15 1
11 14 2
34 1 2
30 13 1
66 2 0

7 fights that year and almost all of them complete bums. You talk him up like he walks on water. These were fights 31-37 for him. How is he fighting a guy with a 50% win ratio in his 31st fight? Oh but he stopped him.... oh gee you think? you think maybe thats why he was undefeated and has a high KO ratio because he is fighting janitors and cab drivers who were 8-8 and 4-14?


I just lol when people say Mayweather's 50-0 shouldnt count because McGreggor was #50. How many of these losing record factory workers then do we remove from Marciano's record then if that is the standard? Do you think McGreggor couldnt beat a guy who is 4-14 who works at a factory for a living? Atleast McGreggor had the benefit of a full training camp and didnt have to fight on his off day from the factory.

Most overrated overhyped bum in history, the guys he was fighting after 30 something pro fights was embarrassing. Fans will go and talk chit about modern fighters like say an Andrande or GGG that never fought nobody but then turn a blind eye for anyone in the black and white era. He finally started fighting decent competition and all his best wins were from light heavyweights coming up. Fans are also delusional about his ability to compete with real heavyweights. At 185 he would be fighting at 168 and getting rag dolled by canelo today.

High speed internet had a big impact on boxing. All the modern euro fighters got a lot of slick techniques, they fight like american black fighters now, look at Loma, Bivol ect they had access to videos and fights of american fighters growing up and training. That is why like the 90s and earlier you had more distinct styles with the soviets or cubans ect. Now everybody has access to all fights and not just whats on TV.

see how crazy these people are here he said he can show me clips of modern fighters looking worst but those are clips those arent full matches showing every movement use updated showing angle use/fluidness/tech/timing/defense/ then he was trolling saying how can i watch Tunney and think he wasnt high skilled and saying how him fighting that way would give modern fighters trouble

saying nonsense like 70s-90s fighters would dream of fighting like him. These people aren't sane at all on this site, which is why I insult them all the time.

look at the other pic of the other nonsense that lunatic said,
this is how he really fought https://********/H_BCFxR1S2M?si=hABxJGK-_h2DDfmS

Only obliterated the elites right before he retired....um....okay. If right now all of a sudden Pulev just whooped Povetkin, then Josh, then Wilder, then Andy, and retired after KOing Fury, not only would you praise him but the whole ****in' forum would be on fire over this great HW.

It's another short sighted and ****** point.

Sounds like you're just voicing frustrations more than anything. I'm a Tyson fan too....lost by the point. Some don't give Larry credit. I could point out Larry was coming off back-to-back losses, but, honestly, that'd just be being flippant for argument's sake because I reckon Holmes is one of Mike's better wins.

If you're asking is an older Louis meant to be a better win than an older Holmes the answer is yes. Firstly, Louis achieved more, secondly Louis wasn't losing when Marciano KO'd him.

5'11" 75"

6' 73"

5'10" 68"

Those LHWs, one being the former champion at HW and the other being to this day the KO king of boxing, were both bigger than Marciano. It's another dumbass point.

I give Tyson credit for ****ing up Spinks.



You're ****ing with me? I told you, you is surface:


Ricardo Lopez, 51-0
https://boxrec.com/en/proboxer/521

Jimmy Barry 58-0
https://boxrec.com/en/proboxer/46200


Take this lesson and go learn something. Sitting around on boxrec ain't going to even teach you the names to put into boxrec to learn the **** you brag about not only you knowing but everyone with some knowledge.

Have a good day now son

everyone has heard of ricardo lopez and everyone knows he has a draw and you intentionally didnt show draws, you are intentionally being intellectually dishonest to try to "win" here when you have nothing

Rock fought in a novice era compared to 70s-90s

- - Y U never say what grade U in when they kick U out of school?

[N/A]

He fought enough good and top fighters (around 10: Moore, ****ell, Charles, LaStarza, Walcott, Matthews, Reynolds, Savold, Louis and Lane). For those of you who say some of them were old - well, Rocky started boxing very late, in his defence, that counts, doesn't it? As for those who were low-level opposition - he delivered fast knockouts over them, as it suits him being a top-level professional. Adding the fact most of his opponents were taller than him, some a lot heavier. All of that in just 8 years.

I don't get why Rocky receives that hate. He acted decently, politely and with a huge respect for everyone. He pushed all his limits and is remembered for, serving as an example and inspiration for others. Never ducked anyone and fought whoever he could.

[HeadShots]

imo they ****ed with his gloves.


he was folding these 220 lb guys with 1 punch when he was 190 lbs. knocking them dead.



that's like Usyk 1 punching Joshua. almost a physical impossibility.


We've never seen it repeated on the world stage.




Holyfield moved up and wasn't 1 punching Tyson and Foreman.
