    Joe louis himself said he would lose to Rocky even in his prime.
    Eventually Rocky would get to that chin, and just rain punches on him, yes he would be losing, and yes he would be dropped, but yes he would get the W.

    Don't confuse Joe's top level sportsmanship with him actually believing that.

    Rocky has to land a lottery punch here. Louis beats him eight outta ten.

    What is up with "shits in his mouth"? Is that your trademark "saying"?


    Good God. Fucking geeko.

    Rocky would never lose to that Robotic bum. Louis is a chinny cruiser. Rocky was a solid chin banging crusier. Louis didn't have the heart, chin or durability to beat Rocky. I don't think much about Rocky, but he was better than that chinny no balance Joe Louis.

    Oh yes, cuz Rocky had such a horrible chin, damn Jaws...sometimes I want to smack you lol.
    Sorry, just like what would happen to Floyd Patterson if they had ever fought, eventually...Rocky would find that chin...and thats all it will take.

    Louis was quite a bit more successful than Floyd Patterson.

    look, I'm just gonna throw this out here.

    White people, in general, are inferior when it comes to athletics.

    The culmination of this fact is the myth of Rocky Marciano.

    If you're gonna pick a white fighter to hype guys, pick...pretend Monzon is white, or become a Calzaghe/Tszyu fan.

    Marciano got out at a great time, fought the right people, and now has a legendary following.

    Lets also keep in mind, before I get crucified for this post, that my grandfather grew up in Brockton MA and has a myriad of stories about Marciano. And I know these stories are true, because they're all about baseball, and I can't imagine my grandpa wiki-hunting. Rocky sounds like a great guy, but as a boxer, I can't help it.

    There is footage of him fighting. Footage of him losing to 40 year old Lt. Heavyweights for 10-12+ rounds at a time. I don't like Joe Louis at all. I've said he would lose to John Ruiz 9 out of 10 times, and I believe that. But at least he's a good sized power puncher (for his time).

    He would KO Marciano, because if there's anyone with a worse defense than Louis himself, its Rocky Marciano.

    Well....Joe did fight a lot of bums though as well...not to take anything away from him...but Floyd would have had a lot of success in his era as well.

    Here is where chin....beats punch, cuz this chin, also has a punch...
    Sorry....Joe will come right at Rocky, someone with a weak chin, against a guy with a great chin, and good power....sorry 9 times out of ten, is going to get caught...

    Joe outclasses Rocky, busts him up, drops him numerous times. The outcome depends on how merciful the referee feels that night.

    Jaws is right. The myth of Marciano is far more impressive than Marciano.

    Always question someone who says "Marciano would eventually catch him and that's all it would take."

    What? Marciano caught non-household names guys like Mogard, Lowry, and Applegate with plenty of shots and they didn't go anywhere. Something tells me Joe Louis could manage the feat that those guys pulled off.

    Marciano landing a single shot KO punch against Louis is a possibility, but I wouldn't bank on it bailing him out 9 out of 10 times. That's ridiculous. Marciano pulled a miracle out of his ass in the 13th against Walcott and now people act like he could have done it on demand against a talent like Joe Louis.

    The cold, hard truth is that Marciano was an average fighter and a tiny heavyweight. He benefited tremendously from a weak and aging era of heavyweights. A prime Louis would dominate Marciano and eventually stop him.

    I'm pretty sure BoxFan used to pick Marciano over Ali too. :lol:

    Marciano had the better chin, & possibly the better conditioning.
    Louis was better in every other department.
    I could see Louis being beaten by subsequent champs due to power/size considerations, or to an Ali who was, well..Ali.
    But against Marciano, Louis wins by UD, or late TKO.

    Joe Louis was not a talent. He wouldn't be in the top 50 today. He'd be on fnf losing by kayo to Friday Ayutayyyyyyaahahahahaa. The myth of jOE lOUIS is worse than the myth of Marciano. Rocky never got knocked cold like a bum by an old Max SCHMELING IN HIS ABSOLUTE PRIME

    How Louis would do against today's heavyweights isn't the debate momo. Hell, Marciano couldn't get a job as a sparring partner today.

    Marciano was a slow, plodding, defenseless oaf that was lucky enough to fight in an era of small, old heavyweight contenders. Maybe you get all wet because he beat Walcott, Charles and Moore while their average age was 36 years old, but it doesn't impress me.

    It is you are an idiot or you're an idiot. In either case, it is not true. I do question your ability to use the term because a 4 word and one icon sentence was too difficult for you to master.

    wow, that really cut me down. :lol: Look, if Im writing a fucking essay I might go to the trouble of using apostrophes. If Im talking to someone who thinks Cedric Boswell & Michael Grant are better fighters than Joe Louis frankly Im unlikely to bother.

    Bottom line, don't call someone an idiot if you can't make it through four words without making a mistake.

    bottom line. It wasn't a mistake, i just don't give a fuck about apostrophes on message boards. If neglecting the apostrophe turns the contraction into another word I'll be sure to use it, other wise it's just another of the English language's archaic redundancies as far as Im concerned and if Im feeling lazy I simply won't bother. Especially if I'm addressing someone who thinks Fabio Moli and Michael Sprott are better fighters than Joe Louis. Ike's lucky he got more than a ':shit::shit::shit:' out of me for that one. Thank you and good night.

    Neglecting the apostrophe does turn it in to another word. It turns it in to "your"

    Which is obviously different from "you are"

    You know this right?
