Rocky Marciano v Lennox Lewis

[DavilaJones]

I don't want to sound critical of a late great but I've scanned through his fight resume on boxrec and to be honest I'm a bit conflicted.

On one hand he had a hell of a heart (getting up from multiple knockdowns to win fights) and an animal ferocity that's to be commended. On the other hand, he suffers what Roy Jones did for most of his career (B hop and Tony aside) and to a little extend the K bros do now. That is the lack of high quality competition. It's not that I think he's a bum, he is not, or that he'll be destroyed in any other era, but that I can't really gauge his true potential given the quality of opposition.

I should clarify on his opposition, he fought ezzard charles, arhcie moore, Jersey Joe, and of course the brown bomber. but all were far over the hill.
