Marciano, How to have the perfect career!

Well I for one is not like none of these guys on here who have him rated 12-15 in the game, and who praises him, he is a all time 5-15 ranked HW to me, and abilities has nothing to do with how to be the greatest Hw of all time, its what you acomplished HOW you accomplished it, Ali Fought in the best era of boxing And He beat like 5 all time greats And like 6 Hall of famers in there primes! thats why he is the greatest, and after Ali you can have Other great Like Joe Louis, 25 straight Hw title defenses, Yes he lost to marciano but if we was to try to sim the fight in the game you will put Marciano at prime and Joe at End, Joe was done he was old you could see the bold spot in his hair lol, next after louis, Foreman not because who he beat which are some good names but What george did (and is doing) Is crazy he's been in the game for 40 years, and he still can give anybody even now a run for there money, eventhough the onlything george will be running for is money... or food?

4. Jack Johnson I dont know sometimes im high on him sometimes im low, you know when wild first told me about him I was very interested in him, and so I bought some tapes and he was clearly before his time, just talent, height, and smarts, but something I notice is he fought nothing but "white hopes" he didnt fight any of the black fighters as or after bein champ (dont count the 4 rounders) But when he did fight them he lost and almost lost to them so I couldnt really be that high on him It was a crazy world back there and for a black man to do what he done and hold the belt that long is good enough to be 4.

5. Marciano where he belongs, talent wise he cant beat none of the top 4, Im reading a books that claimed some of his fights was set up and marciano is not his real name (or is it he used another name but he lost like 5 fights and then changed to marciano ) but push that out of your head, lets just look at his opponents, he got greats some of my fav fighters such as walcott, ezzard charles, But Come on we all know they was post-primes almost end, yes walcott came on late in his career but he was in wars with louis, ezzard charles and other people and he was WINNING THE FIGHT (first one)

but a win is a win, how do you beat a older boxer you go the distance and beat them hit whatever until they body catches up with them, Marciano was almost losing to all the greats he fought (or some or most) but came back to win, It did not hurt his image because it was like Oh marciano comes back to win ref says 1 round he knocks him out, but if he did it to prime guys hell I'll be in love with him but he did it to fighters who was out of there prime and at the end of there career, Marciano is no bum, but come on how can you guys sit here and really think he can beat a Ali or a george foreman or a larry holmes? Hell what a about a prime walcott? I know you guys might say he will lose all the rounds and in the 14th round bam knocks them out, Sounds good but its only one problem with that, he will be fighting prime guys, Prime Guys and yes it makes a huge diffrance, its like my man beating holyfield I love toney and I think he could have still beating holyfield if it was 93 but 20 years from now and someone may say but james toney beat holyfield tyson didnt and I will say he beat a old out primed holyfield.

Im not trying to smash your hero but I just get so amazed how people who are fans lie to themself til they believe it I love shane and once he lost I was lien to myself I said it should have been a draw he didnt look right (which he didnt because of wright style) And pitt quickly reminded me im doing what I hate others to do, You can be a fan to your fighters but come on lets be real, Marciano Would prolly lost tkp on cuts to a stiff jab tko in like 5 rounds!

So how do you have the perfect career? First being Italian wouldn't hurt, hang around mob wise guys, Fight older people not just in age but in wars, and fights, have great stamina, and power and heart, So when you set a fight for your fighters you gonna want a Older vet who is gonna run out of gas and marciano power is just gonna catch him or a young guy who fights right in front of your strong fighters, and a couple of set up wouldn't hurt.
