Unless I read the stat wrong,this guy was a monster.I think Carnerra was 85 or more.Anybody out there know which heavy had the longest?
Longest reach is not going to be the determining factor,but it is a asset if used right.

Well, Marciano was getting tired of fighting every 5 months too.

He most likely would have lost to Ali; I can't think of anyone else, including Patterson who could have beaten Rocky. Rocky much more forceful.

Marciano would have worn him down, just like he did to the other guy who was supposed to beat Marciano

I don't think Marciano ducked anybody. Who?

Lew Herr · 10-19-2006, 02:57 AM

Who wouldn't retire at 50-0. Nice round #. Plenty of money & benefits. Nothing else to gain or prove. Only thing left was the possibility of defeat.

Ali - #1
Rocky - #2

Ali couldn't beat a prime Marciano. Marciano was to strong, to relentless, to much stamina, and hit to hard. Ali might win rounds 1-4 but after that Marciano takes over and beats Ali by KO in rounds 12-15. Patterson??? Marciano would demolish him in less than 10 rounds. Patterson had speed, and alright power, not great or noteworthy power, he had the average power. Patterson didn't have Ali's footwork or speed either.

Nobody. If that came from dmoney don't pay attention to what he says about Marciano. He thinks Marciano sucked and didn't go undefeated.
