Absolutely LittleMan, i agree about Marciano. Lets be honest about it, he gets overhyped because he was a white italian. If he was a black fighter he wouldn't be ranked among the top guys like he is.

He was real small for a heavyweight. Sluggers like Ernie Shavers or Foreman and even Sonny Liston would of ko'd the rock IMO. Ali would of danced around him peppering the rock with shots before going for the kill late in the fight.

And Joe Louis in his prime i think would of dismantled Marciano. Same with Larry Holmes who doesn't get the respect i think he deserves.
