The Rock is SO Great, he is getting his own Ringside

[Frazier's 15th round]

I'd like to see more ringsides on fighters in lower classes. So far, it's been Ray Robinson and heavyweights. Of course, the only other non-heavyweight they'll show is Ray Leonard, but it's nice to dream.

Yep on Sat, starting at 12am, on Espn classic, The Rock is getting 2 whole days to his self in his honor. A whole day of Rocky Marciano. What more can some one ask???

Two ringsides of Muhammad Ali!

[Kid Achilles]

If I had my way butterfly you would be strapped into a chair Clockwork Orange style and forced to watch hours of the same grainy footage of Jim Jeffries, Corbett, and Tom Sharkey over and over again. How about a ringside of that?!?!

[Dempsey1238]

I agree lol. IMO, Seeing a run of Rocky Marciano ALL day is BETTER than Ali. and Besides Ali already got his ringside.

I bet when Fraizer gets his ring side, They WONT have the Ali Fraizer 1 fight lol.

I WANT you Butterfly to WATCH it, or I make you WATCH it.

[RockyMarcianofan00]

IMO Reason Marciano's ringside is better is because Ali's fights are constantly played on ESPN Classic, I think twice I've seen a Marciano fight Aired randomly...So it'll be a good chance to see some of his fights on the tv..

[Dempsey1238]

and WHEN THEY DO AIR a Marciano fight, what fight is being Aired??/

You guess it, Marciano Walcott 1 and Marciano Moore. Thats IT.

Ali gets

Cooper, Fraizer 3, Jones, Chalvo and COUNTLESS other reruns, oh yeah Wepner, Oscar and others. Thats what like 7 fights reshow compare to the Rock's 2 lol.

Wrong. On ESPN Classic I've seen Marciano-Louis, Marciano-Walcott I, Marciano-Charles I, Marciano-Charles II, Marciano-LaStarza II, and Marciano-Moore. That's more than two fights.

Did you see a special or something?
Aired Randomly the most common Marciano fights are
Marciano v Walcott
Marciano v Walcott II
Marciano v Moore


its like they're favorites or something- I've never seen the bold on television.
