Were all Marciano's fights on the level

[IamInuit]

Marciano arguably fought in the weakest era in heavyweight history not including the grappling era although Dempsey is right on the fringe of grappling and he ducked every black man of his era. The only prime heavyweight Marciano ever fought was Lastarza and he barely beat him the first time. He struggled with a Walcott who was about ten years out of his prime, almost got beat by a shop worn Charles and beat up grandfather Louis.

You call Carmine Vingo, Rex Layne, Harry Kid Matthews, Roland LaStarza, Ezzard Charles, WEAK

I made a mistake, I should have said LAME. Don't even include Charles in the same sentence of the other 3 and a half men. Even at a severely diminished capacity he could have walked through that sorry ass crowd with ease. I mean he almost knocked Marciano out in that condition. Charles was not only worn out by the time Marciano faced him but mentally broken from the Baroudi fight. And if Marciano could not beat that other group then he had no business even calling himself a contender.
If Chuvalo had his era he to would have been undefeated. Same fighter.

Nice try though. Well, not really.

Oh and you forgot Eddie Ross.
