Roland LaStarza ~ "Rocky Marciano Would Have Destroyed Cassius Clay, And Ruined Him"

[C.J.Rock]

Did La Starza REALLY say that?? Or is in just another of Bill Paxton's fantasies ??

@C.J.Rock

Now why the hell would Paxtom say it so matter of factly if it wasn't true? Has he been known to lie about actual quotes before?

If you can reference a couple of these quotes Bill that'll shut the guy up.

As for LaStarza, it isn't difficult to understand the motive behind him promoting MArciano over Clay. Since he fought the first fight with Marciano basically even, by claiming Rocky could have smashed him up easy, implies that LaStarza could have done similar as well, thus promoting his own image.

Old Roland would be Rollin in his grave if he seen this, but he ain't the first boxer to sledge another to promote his own legacy and he certainly wont be the last.

As much as i think Marciano would've given Ali trouble for a few rounds i doubt he would've gone the distance. Frazier and Old Enry both connected with huge left hooks, Marciano's big punch was the right hand, Ali wins by cuts by round 8 or 9. Ali in 1966/67 was virtually unbeatable. Ali was tough, he took some very heavy punches and withstood Big George who many scribes genuinely thought was going to kill him. I just don't see Ali getting nailed by a right hand?

Ali of 66/67 was a piss weak string bean who could barely box and who had then never faced a single really good opponent. He'd be stopped by any half decent heavy or cruiser in subsequent eras imo.

I just claim he could beat Marciano! Big difference!

Yes.

Every quote he posts uses the same style of language, regardless of the background of the person who supposably said it...

Could,

Rocky Marciano trap Cassius Clay.

Ask George Chuvalo that question.

"Yes, it was no F**king problem."

Yeah George Chuvalo was also a piece of iron who was about 30+lbs heavier than Rocky.
