sure rickypryor, marciano is the greatest. i guess that's why he was almost ko'd by a 42yr. old middleweight with one punch, huh? i guess thats why bums like lastarza could embarrass him but still get robbed? i guess that's why marciano is the most overrated piece of crap hw ever in the history of boxing? marciano is only the greatest to white racist ******s who need a white to be their savior. marciano was nothing but a bum who fought other bums. if he fought any top ten hw he would be crushed! guys like ali and holmes would have cut him up and embarrased him. johnson, louis, lewis, dempsey and frazier would methodically beat him down with ease. and foreman liston and tyson would just jump all over that little bum and kill him! marciano is just an over-hyped, unskilled cruiserweight who will only be known as "the greatest" to some because of his skin color.

you mean just like ali is too you then? Your basing your judgement on skin color as well becasue I have never seen you give praise to anything white in any of these forums so you should be the one to talk huh? Ali was over rated, he wasnt the greatest but he was in the top 10 fighters of all time because of the person he was and the things he did. Put it this way if Ali didnt do the things he did outside the ring he wouldnt be considered such an inspirational figure inside the ring. Marciano would have beaten Ali in his prime no doubt, you put him up against people like Holmes maybe not Foreman probably not, Frazier he would beat no problem, Johnson and Lewis would have had some trouble with Marciano. I say this because of their fighting styles, styles make fights and Ali just happened to have a style that big men couldnt handle but if you watch him against Frazier he had some trouble in all 3 matches he wasnt the usual dominant Ali we were all used to seeing. Now if you put him up against someone stronger and more relentless in heart and fighting such as Marciano he would have had a real problem like he did Frazier.

rocco just shut your mouth, cause your talking **** right now. marciano a slow, weak, unskilled 180lb. cruiserweight will not have a chance against a big, strong, fast 215lb. man. the fact that you said marciano would beat him with ease makes you either the biggest idiot or the biggest racist! frazier has boxing skills and is quick. marciano is slow and unskilled. frazier is lightyears better than marciano ever was. but he still barely beat a past prime ali once, and couldn't beat him again, but yet a short slow little 180lb. man would "no doubt" beat ali in his prime? go do some boxing research, then come and argue, cause you obviously don't know ****.

how many of ali's fights have you seen honestly?? because you cant be older than 17 by reading your posts, and it always seems that you are on here after school hours.

I have been involved with boxing for over 8 years kid and have been following it for 15 or more, so before you go basing your judgements on skin color like you always seem to just quiet down before you get embarrassed. First off Marciano would not have gotten tired like Foreman did, Second the reason why Frazier couldnt beat Ali during their second and third fights is because he wasnt Marciano, didnt have the power, the heart or the chin that Marciano did.

Marciano may have been 180 lbs but the best fighters of that era such as Louis, Walcott, and Charles all claimed they have never been hit by anything as hard as Marciano and these are people who fought the greats just like Marciano did and they even fought more of them. Marciano's power would have done wonders to the chin of Ali as well as any of the top heavyweights of any era. Dont get me wrong I love Ali always have but he wasnt a Marciano, most of what Ali is made out to be is because of the variety of things he had done inside and outside of the ring.

Ali was great but he wouldnt have been able to handle Marciano no way no how, for being 215 yeah he was bigger but not more powerful, he was faster but didnt have as much heart, he was more skilled but didnt have the tenacity in the ring like Marciano who would have kept coming foward no matter how many times he was hit. And before you go saying Marciano was dropped by Walcott another blown up Cruiser I'll just have you know he was up in a matter of 4 second he got hit got up and still managed to win the fight it was more of a matter of balance which Marciano was flat footed so he was always off balance but thats why he had so much power. Marciano was down a total of 6 seconds in his career and still managed to come back and win despite being hit of balance, on balance, any balance it didnt matter he won.

So go back to your Rihanna appreciation thread and continue talking to yourself and posting pictures of someone who you will never see or get a chance with. Have a good day!

#1 i've seen like 50 of ali's fights, alright.

and marciano is overrated. i never bring race into my own opinions about how good fighters are, but apparently alot of ya'll do. jack dempsey is one of my favorite fighters and he is white. so before you go running your mouth about me being racist, read my other posts before you make slanted judgements.

"the reason why Frazier couldnt beat Ali during their second and third fights is because he wasnt Marciano, didnt have the power, the heart or the chin that Marciano did" are you serious? frazier is 205 and marciano is like 185, and frazier proved he could beat skilled guys alot bigger and taller than him, and marciano hasn't, but yet marciano is better? frazier is faster, stronger, more powerful, better chin, and heart is about the same. frazier was never dropped with one punch by a 40+ year old 5'9" middleweight, marciano was. and whether he was off-balanced or not, the point is a middleweight dropped him, so if marciano has the cast-iron chin you say he has then even when off-balanced, moore shouldn't have been able to put him on the canvas.

and who in the **** did louis, walcott, and charles fight anyway. if they fought foreman or liston, they all would have been ko'd in round one, with the exception of joe louis.

what "wonders" would marciano do to ali's chin? liston, foreman, shavers, frazier, and even lyle punches harder than marciano, but besides frazier, they could put him down and most of them couldn't even hurt him, so what makes you think marciano would seriously hurt ali?

ali was one of the strongest hw's of all time. no doubt in the clenches he would have marciano flying all-over the ring from post to post. ali probably had just as much heart as marciano. what else would make him fight with a broken jaw and pull off that performance in thrilla?

whether marciano got up or not, the point is he shouldn't have been down in the first place. ali would school him, then knock the bum out.

and i'm sure i have a better chance with rihanna than you!

first of all let me say butterfly you need to study marciano more closely on film.

marciano may not have been a polished boxer, but his style was VERY effective and he was far more skilled than u think.


marcianos liek carlos monzon. you watch them on film at first and you are not impressed. then u watch them again and watch them very closely and its then that you realize just how effective THERE OWN style was.


marciano used his style to perfection. he was extremely effective.





also marciano was not 180lb. he was in the high 180s. he was also immensley strong, one of the stronger heavyweight champs of all time. marciano was defintley stronger frazier



marcianos strength is the most underated thing about marciano. people make a big deal about his stamina, but they forget how strong he was.

[SuzieQ49]

marciano a slow, weak, unskilled 180lb. cruiserweight will not have a chance against a big, strong, fast 215lb. man.

ur right,


i mean its not like 3 guys who floored ali weighed 205lb or less

-or that a 180lb man nearly knocked out ali


- or that ali nearly lost on points to a light-H named doug jones.


i find it funny how these guys have a chance, but not a all time great fighter like rocky marciano.





funny how you call marciano "weak." this is a clear statement you know nothing about marciano. marciano was incredibly strong.

archie moore who fought many men over 220lb called marciano "far and away the strongest man i ever fought and believe me i met some tough ones"

charles who also faced many big heavies called "marciano the strongest man i ever fought"

almost every fighter who fought rocky testified on rockys amazing strength.


of course butterfly, you know more about marcianos strength thaan these guys. i mean you were in the ring with marciano werent you?
