For those of you who put think Marciano is overrated

[hardmanbrit]

Is it true that Rocky Marciano is the only unbeaten Heavyweight Champion of the World in the entire history of the sport?

HOW is that site total bull****.If JOE LOUIS says he believes he could not have beaten MARCIANO at anytime because of his swarming style or if JOE FRAZIER said "if I could beat ALI then I'M sure MARCIANO could,he couldn't do that rope a dope with MARCIANO cause MARCIANO wouldn't have tired",how is that bull**** ,these are documented quotes,SAID YEARS AGO before old age may have affected them but after their carrear ,when lying no longer mattered beacuse they were no loner boxers.That website has been around for a long time and it would have come out if these quotes were untrue,I'M pretty sureJOE LOUIS WAS QUOTED FROM sports illustrated or the RING ****zine.What most impressed me about MARCIANO was the fact that most of his opponents were sigificantly bigger,and people always say how old the elite guys he fought were ,hey EZZARD CHARLES was only 32 compared to MARCIANO's 30,MOORE fought 52 more times after that, losing only when he stepped up to hevyweight against PATTERSON and ALI .Another funny thing is when people say he dodged NINO VALDAZ,but most people don't know that ARCHIE MOORE had beaten NINO VALDEZ both times they fought to get his shot at MARCIANO,MOORE actually did pretty good at heavyweight I BELIEVE he won like 10 in a row before MARCIANO.

I wouldnt really listen to what other fighters say, its mostly out of respect. Ali said Tyson would Beat him and Tyson said Ali would win. Boxers are generally respectful to the past Legends/Greats.

I like Marciano, but i think that Ali and Louis could have beaten him tbh.

But still, hes great

I agree, i think a prime Louis could of beaten him. All fighters are respectful of other greats. Like you pointed out the Ali-Tyson thing where both said they would have lost

You know Rocco how hard it is for you knowing that there hasn't a white heavyweight champion from America in about 40 years.People like you who still live in the past talking about how some 180 pound cruiser weight is the greatest heavyweight of all time.Do you see how funny that is?Rocky Marciano wasn't a heavyweight period.I dont care how you try to justify that he was the fact is the minimum heavyweight weight is 205.
The fighters Marciano fought for the most part weighed either 180 pounds like himself or were smaller like Ezzard Charles and Archie Moore who both started their careers at 160 and stayed at that weight class for 7 or 8 years.Can you name any 220 plus black heavyweights that Marciano fought?I know none of you can since he never fought any but some how Marciano is the greastest heavyweight right?
Marciano was slow,weak and unskilled even for a 180 pounder.Marciano a hard puncher?Because he took 8 rounds to knock out a 40 or so year Archie Moore who as a just typed was a natural middleweight not to mention at middleweight in Moore's prime he was knocked out by other middleweights in one round.It is like somebody saying Tye Fields is the hardest puncher of all time because he pads his record by knocking out bums.
This is 2008 and i thought we would be over stuff like this.Rocky Marciano is the most overrated boxer in boxing history by far.He was lucky to have fought in a era where the italian mafia control boxing and the so called heavyweights were so small.Rocky Marciano isn't even a top 100 cruiserweight of all time so get over it.

Jerry Humphrey Jackson - 254lbs
Johnny Shkor - 220.5lbs
Bill Wilson - 229.5lbs

Minimum is 200+lbs for heavyweight

[AntonTheMeh]

the minimum of 200+ was set in the last twenty years.
