>JOE LOUIS THE GREATEST BOXER WHO EVER LIVED!!!Was he right?
>>214321202Sugar Ray Robinson was the best pfp
When they were whiting-up Eddie Murphy for the fourth character, couldn't they get him to look Italian? It makes no sense for an old New York Jew to be taking pride in the career of Rocky Marciano.
>>214321202Sugar Ray was the goat. This is undisputable.
>>214321302Having an old "white" New Yorker calling Benny Leonard the greatest boxer ever would have been a bridge too far.So they compromised.
>>214321202Rocky Marciano beat his ass
>>214321245>>214321322>What about Rocky Marciano?
>>214321370Marciano was good, like Tyson was good, but also like Tyson he never really went up against anyone too noteworthy except Jersey Joe Walcott and Ezzard Charles, who were still not on the same level as the heavyweights in the 1960s. Joe Louis was 37 when he fought Marciano, who was 28.
>>214321450>“[Fighting Rocky Marciano] would’ve been rough. I truly think on my best day and his best day, I would’ve beaten him. Probably not knocked him out. I truly think Marciano was better than Joe Frazier, and you saw what Frazier did to me. I barely got by him a couple of times. [Rocky] wasn’t a great fighter scientifically, just a mauler, a brawler, one fight his nose is hanging off him and he kept coming. Can’t put him down. Can’t teach people to fight like Marciano. He just had his own style, he was courageous. He wasn’t as great as me, wasn’t as beautiful, but I don’t know that I would’ve beaten him like that.”Ali seemed to think Marciano could've beaten him, the fact that Ali speaks so humbly about this makes me think Rocky was the goat. But that's just my opinion
>>214321623Marciano was 5',10" and like 185 lbs. By modern standards he wouldn't even have been a heavyweight. Ali was 6',3" and 210 lbs. Marciano wouldn't have stood a chance. He was tough as hell, but I think Ali was being polite here. PFP it might have been a closer fight, but Ali did have superior form, obviously.
HIS MOMMA CALL HIM CLAY IMMA CALL HIM CLAY
Joe Louis a hundred thirty-seven years old.
>>214321685Pfp I think Marciano has a better chance than you say. Obviously Ali had superior form, but one of Marciano's greatest assets was the fact that he had no style at all. He was not a technically skilled boxer. He was just powerful and impossibly tough. It's very hard to deal with a boxer like that. And he did whoop Joe Louis ass
>>214321202Sonny Liston is the correct answer.
>>214321370>(((Eh-heh)))
>>214321202maybe? more importantly, how old was he?>did you taste the soup?
