    Look Marciano was a Heavyweight Great. He had a hell of a punch especially for his size. Could he hit harder then Foreman, not in my opion, was he up there in punching power? I believe yes

    Marciano beat the best of his time, and retired undefeated. honestly what more can you ask of a fighter except beat everyone you can and never lose. He's hard to place for many because his competition doesn't meet the criteria for some peoples top 10. IMO he face good oppostion but wasn't tested to his limits.

      see, now this was a good post. better than some of the crap i've been hearing about how marciano's power was greater than foreman's, or he was faster than frazier, or he has one of the best resumes of all time or something ****** like that. all you can say is that he beat whoever was there and that he had loads of heart, and he could punch for his size.

          no, i disagreed that marciano hit harder than tyson, and marciano could beat a guy like frazier, and that marciano had a chance to beat george foreman, and ****** **** like that.

                Anybody can beat anybody. Marciano I believe was close in strength with Frazier. Many boxing experts have actually compared the two fighters strengths with each others. Depending on whom you talk to you get different answers. Rocky for me is in the top 10 hardest hitters. While I don't believe Rocky hit harder then Foreman i do believe he hit harder the Liston. But at the same time Liston is one of the harder hitters in hw history.

                Rocky has a decent chance at beating Tyson and Ali. Foreman is alot less likely.

                I'm not trying to turn this into a Marciano vs... thread i'm just saying style wise Marciano has a good chance at beating Ali, a bad chance at beating Foreman and a decent shot at beating Tyson.
                Am I going to say its a sure shot, no, but then again wierder things have happened

                    Yeah man thats ALMOST as crazy as Tiger Ted Lowry who had a career record of 60-54-9 going the distance with Marciano.

                      not really considering Marciano had only been boxing for three years before that fight. Also everybody fights bums on the way to the top its just the natrual order of things. Your opposition gets harder as you get better. Hardly anyone brings up fights from the beginning of ppl's careers.

                      The only fighters any body really talks about on Marciano's record from before he fought Joe Louis are Roland Lastarza,Carmine Vingo, and Rex Layne

                      Also you need to consider that somebody thats fought over 100 times is gunna have some idea on how to keep somebody away. I mean anybody can go the distance with someone if they know the correct way to keep them off.
