Marciano fought 26 guys coming off losses .
Fought 10 guys over 200 pounds bc most guys many WERE under it but you'll still pretend he's a giant killer .
Fought 6 guys with one or two win streaks .
Fought 9 guys with winning fights in their prior six without dropping one .
He accumulated 6 title defenses in 3 years time that 2 fighters per year rounding it up and you claim todays champs don't fight enough ?
Lastarza had a little over 30 fights before fighting Marciano and 22 coming off losses , 9 with no more then two fight win streaks and only 3 guys capable of stringing together over 4 consecutive that's why he was the best prospect, why would he lose fighting those guys ?
His best Win was Moore who was 39 years old ( you guys seem to talk a lot about age on here ? ) and over 60 fights by then .
His second best was Louis at 37 way off his fight weight ,
His Third best was Walcott who was 38 . Marciano won because it was stopped in round 13 which is miles for someone of 38 then .This fight actually resemble the Wilder vs Ortiz situation where Ortiz should have won the first and everyone knew he was done going into the second one with a puncher .
Marciano wasn't protected at least late in his career ,hes just lucky he had guys with swiss cheese resumes where everyone was losing as winning and no actual dominant HW like Liston emerged yet who would look like a real HW . But keep on talking about this and that era of modern times like someone wont know taking multiple losses to average guys in Marcianos era wasn't a norm?
These guys wouldn't even be allowed to fight the top guys today and Marciano would be FORCED to learn the jab and would have to think real hard if he wanted to be CW even .
I TOLD YOU I WAS GOING TO HAVE A FIELD DAY on here eventually ,you asked for it you GOT it now....
A 5” 10 midget who has no jab how far does he go today ? Lol
