Check out his record and look at theguys he struggled against. People say that Louis had weak opposition...the point is that Louis DESTROYED them.

Of course Marciano looked tough against the opposition he was facing. He would be considered tough in other eras. The likes of Dempsey would destroy him.People who consider schmeling a soft puncher should note that he had a decent number of KO's on his record.
