Did Rocky Marciano Lose a Pro Fight Under Another Name?
Read it, and then stop saying he was undefeated, it bugs me.

Some say Marciano lost fights early in his career,maybe he had a extra KO too![]()
5 fights with multiple losesdmoney said:Marciano had 5 fights that don't appear on his record, with multipule losses. There is a link there to read, you do know what links are don't you.
I do know what a link is, your starting to get mouthy and I'm starting to get annoyed at it and probably say stuff I shouldn't so watch it ok? A link is the underlined or colored print that you click on and it takes you to another site. There are a unch of links in the video section.dmoney said:Marciano had 5 fights that don't appear on his record, with multipule losses.

An amerature loss doesn't count as a pro loss. Also Ali fought amerature after he turned pro, and he lost too. But does anyone mention that? NOPE!!! You just hate Marciano. Are you one of his old oppenents he KO'd in the first round and you are bitter about it?dmoney said:Did Rocky Marciano Lose a Pro Fight Under Another Name?

That's the way it's scored today, BUT back when Rocky was an Amateur they scored it the same as Pro's.bill1234 said:In ameratures Rocky losst 4 fights, thats because if you knock the guy down it counts just as much as a jab. They score it by aggression, punches landed/blocked, and overall abilityu to not get hit, not by dominance.

I based that on a biography I read on Ali, so I'm not at falt for that false info then.hhascup said:That's the way it's scored today, BUT back when Rocky was an Amateur they scored it the same as Pro's.
I believe they changed the scoring system because of some Olympic bouts, such as Roy Jones, that were really bad. Now they just count the punches.
I Ring Announce a lot and donate my time to the Amateurs a lot and I really don't like this way of scoring. I think they should go back the way it was or give more points if one boxer floors or even hurts another one.
I have seen many Amateur bouts, that if it was the Pro's, they would have scored it the other way. As the Announcer, I would try to explain the scoring system, BUT I don't agree with it.
Ali came out out of the Olympics in 1960 and then turned Pro. He never returned to the Amateur ranks.
Fair enough, BUT what bio was that?bill1234 said:I based that on a biography I read on Ali, so I'm not at falt for that false info then.![]()
This won't be much help but it was called (i read it in october...so i forget a lot of the title and author) Muhammad Ali, the greatest. The author was from New Jersey I know that much.hhascup said:Fair enough, BUT what bio was that?
I never heard that before!
Oh Boy, I'm from New Jersey. I think I might have that book!bill1234 said:This won't be much help but it was called (i read it in october...so i forget a lot of the title and author) Muhammad Ali, the greatest. The author was from New Jersey I know that much.
On the cover it shows Ali making a fist. The fist is only like an inch away from where the camera was too.hhascup said:Oh Boy, I'm from New Jersey. I think I might have that book!
Marciano never lost as a pro, Ali did. Now we know who the greatest of all time is. :cheeky4:dmoney said:Did Rocky Marciano Lose a Pro Fight Under Another Name?
