Rating Rocky Marciano

[QueensburyRules]

I would rate him 3rd (perhaps 4th) all time CRUISER champ. I do this because is actually what he was, a cruiserweight. I rate Usyk, Holyfield and Johnny Nelson higher.
If I were to rate Marciano as a ATG heavy, it would have to be rated somewhere waaaaaaay down the list.

Discuss freely

- Y U no say what grade they kick U out of?

Rocky rated as the only undefeated heavy champ unless Usyk suddenly retires after manhandling the current heavy division which is actually Super Heavy in the Olympics.

Cruiser? Try light heavyweight! He came in at 179 at his very lightest. He’s also capable of butchering Charles x2, Walcott x2 and Moore nearly back to back in operation while weighing the same as them. This is by far hands down the best light heavyweight to have ever reigned. Nobody comes close to that kinda of dominance over those fighters while weighing the same as them.

if you looked at the resume of any light heavyweight who ever exsisted nobody comes close. Not even Greb (lhw, not p4p).

So, you think 179 is light heavy?

Edwards
Ross
Jefferson
Evans
Haft
Lowry1
Muscato
Henri
Lowry 2
Reynolds
Mathews
Lastarza1
Charles 1
Moore

Fifteen fights, 3 of which were title defences.

I have a s tupid opinion I would like to add to the 'bigger' debate.

There is one demetional big and there is 3D big.

Fury 6' 9" 273 for Wilder II

Foreman 6' 3" 250 for Moorer

To me Foreman is the bigger 3D man.

If these two guys were to go silverback gorilla at eachother, slam chest to chest, who would drive whom backward?

It isn't just in the numbers, some guys are just 'thicker' than guys who are actually bigger then them statistically.

Or maybe it just feels that to me.

Yes and this is a persons build and genetics

weight makes up the frame

but the weight is made up of many different things. In Foremans case he was born with muscle and bone. And when you are born with it everything is big. Your ligaments / joints / skull

when you put it on its like Michelin man - you just made a part of you big

Fury is 50 percent fat

and his build is slim - he’s knock kneed and has naturally low muscle mass

Foreman never in any world would get dropped by cunningham and I would strongly bet Wilders shot would bounce off Foremans dome like a tennis ball
