Sam Peter vs. Rocky Marciano.

[billeau2]

People still don't understand that men like Marciano, Dempsey, LaMotta and Tyson who work low and use head and upper body movement as their primary defense are hard to hit!
If your watching the Charles, Walcott or even old Moore fights your forgetting those guys are ATG's! You get hit when you fight ATG's. Sam Peters doesn't land on the "low target" but he gets his heart, liver and kidneys punched before the shots go up to the head.
Marciano was a mean man and Peters wasn't. Eddie Chambers handled him easily and Chambers attacking isn't Marciano attacking!
He struggled against a blown up Toney and Toney doesn't hit like the Rock could.
Rock wears this guy down by the end and either stops him via tko or wins a decision.

A great fighter at his best beats an opponent level talent.

There is tape of marciano on this site brought in by myself and others showing that marciano was a lot better defensively than people think.

People would rather just say something silly because there ass is not going to have to cash the check. If your house was in hock and you had to pick the winner of Marciano versus Peter it would be interesting because...most people who were not idiots would do some research! and they might even get an informed opinion about the relative merits of each man.

People are making Peter out to be Ernie Shavers. He doesn't even punch that hard. No leverage, just brute strength.

He'd still be on the small side as a Cruiserweight.

yeah I know, he'd probably be a light heavyweight maybe he can cut down to even super middleweight so people should stop comparing him with the modren day heavyweights

[The Old LefHook]

Walcott, 198 lbs., would walk right in, slip Peter's first oafish punch and drop him with a lefhook.

[ShoulderRoll]

Sam Peter is awful. Even the limited Marciano could beat him.

[The Old LefHook]

My chops redden that such a thread is up for consideration. Poor Rock, now compared to a third rate bum. Something tells me Marciano hit a lot harder than Toney and could take it better, too. If Peter could not hurt Toney (whom he hit solid on a number of occasions), how is he supposed to hurt the Rock? He would be out of gas before he could get the Rock cut to pieces, wouldn'r he?

[TBear]

People are basing Peter's power on his knockouts over the iron chinned fighters Jeremy Williams and Oleg Maskaev?

[BM dnobagaV]

Marciano would be a current day cruiserweight or maybe even light heavyweight

Your sig is the reaction I had when I ran into my first jab from a guy who outweighed me by ~80lbs. Drunk Backyard sparring wasn't always the funniest thing.

[BattlingNelson]

Not sure if srs.

He'd still be on the small side as a Cruiserweight.

Quite a few cruisers id pick to beat Peter tbh.

Especially in a 15rnd fight
