    Marciano is in the same league as david haye and chisora.

    Haye would destroy him.
    Marciano would have looked at Haye's toe and David would have collapsed. Rocky was the little engine that could. Fact as Fenster would say.

    ..... and he probably has a life-size cutout of Marciano in his basement which he punches and yells at during his old, bitter days.

    OK I'll kick the karma back in here:

    Rocky couldn't carry Floyd's jockstrap.


    LOL

    This is the single biggest reason why I hate Larry Holmes.
    Well.... that and the fact he was always bitching about people not liking him 'cause he was black.
    Or maybe it was because he was and still is an ignorant SOB. He definitely fit the description of the "Angry Black Man". Don King would often criticize him for his lack of personality.

    Rocky Marciano through sheer training and conditioning would wear down any fighter in the modern era.

    Derek Chubby Chisora, Chris "Burrito Nose" Arreola, Davie-Boy Price, Lamon Brewster, etc. All would wither under the onslaught.

    No, Marciano would have beaten everyone through sheer training, because nobody trains anymore. Marciano comes from a time when fighters were real fighters, even though there weren't any good natural HWs on the planet during his entire career, those were the hardest men in history he fought, all of them. Holmes never fought guys who had to sweep hallways, or drive a garbage truck all day before they trained, he couldn't have lived with those kind of gritty and determined warriors.

    Hahaha that's a good point, never looked at it like that before!

    Anyone can fight a well conditioned athlete who's afforded the best in nutrition and training for a solid 8 week camp.

    Try fighting a guy who hasn't eaten in 3 days and had to work a 10 hour shift as a long shoreman a few hours before the fight.

    All I know is Holmes is a bitter old bastard who never succeeded in leaving Ali's shadow. All he did was bitch and moan how he wasn't popular enough... how everybody hated him 'cause he was black (news flash, Larry: I hate you 'cause you're a whining bitch)... how the only color he liked was green... how Rocky Marciano couldn't carry his jock (that made Larry even more popular with the crowd ). In fact, if Larry wasn't bitching, he was asleep. I was ecstatic when Tyson knocked the man-boobs off of him... one of my favorite fights of all time. He can say whatever he wants..... and still nobody likes him.

    Two Ton Tony Galento was the 4th cousin of my uncle Roy (WWII veteran, landed on the beaches of Anzio, Italy).
    Know how @ross @maxpower @bean flicker @p4pking
    He got his nickname?
    @Dia bando Tony Galento would work 9 am to 5 pm delivering 660 pound blocks of ice to pubs, bars, restaurants in Orange, New Jersey.
    This cocksucker could knock out a truck.

    These hard men would PUNCH LIKE A MULE. modern fighters would crumple under their sheer brute force and force of will and character.

    What those men withstood---- punches like LaMotta or Marciano or Walcott or Ezzard took, WOULD DESTROY MODERN FIGHTERS IN 3 ROUNDS.

    Marciano would obliterate the weak bellies of the modern heavies with their spare tires and burritos and fast food.

    Yup, that's just what I'm talking about. You'd think there would be ONE fighter who still had the desire to train by hauling blocks of ice around shitfaced, but instead all these massive sissies spend their time roided up, in the gym every day, probably even eating right and getting massages on their down time, modern bitch made stuff like that. Imagine how bad Tony Galento would have chinned out pretty boys like Ray Mercer, Vitali or Oliver Mcall, I shudder to think!
