cue for someone to play that barbershop scene from Coming To America

"He kicked Joe Louis's ass".

Bodybuilders have no clue about punch-power.
To look at a professional sportsman, and then say "look how big is arms are" is hysterical ;D
Tito Trinidad could barely bench 50kg but could knock down walls with his power in his prime.

I would kick his ass to the curb.

Marciano was a bad man though. Sent Rex Layne's teeth scattering around the ring, Lee Savold had to go to the hospital because Marciano smashed a ton of them up into the gum line, beat Vingo so bad that he retired after he got out of the hospital, and was breaking bone chips out of LaStara's arms when he was on the defensive.
As an aside, I've always liked the LaStarza fight, wish there was film of the first one -
.
Also this is one of the better Marciano documentaries -
.
-
good for them bodybuilders were busy doing their thing as they would destroy them with pure bicep/tricep power punching
-
This guy couldn't get third place in a Mr. New Jersey. How could he kick anyone's ass? ;D
-
"He kicked Joe Louis's ass".
"joe louis was 75 years old when they fought"
-
look at that moron at the weigh in the truth always comes out, deep down they all want to be bodybuilders i bet fighting is just secondary they all do it so they can go on stage at the weight ins with nothing but underwear on and pose and flex their tiny muscles

Exactly, having big arms is one of the worst things a boxer could have.
slows you right the fuck down and takes away power.
-
but big arms have other advantages if you got really big arms and you put them up its very hard to land a clean shot
you fail to see the whole picture here...

That was a classic. The big muscleman didn't get dropped by a strike like it appears. He just decided he will drop to the ground at the slightest excuse since he was so winded.
The irony was that Marcus was/is a far, far more functional athlete than any bber will ever be. Plus he was down about 40 lbs and still carried too much muscle to last in the ring with a washed up fighter way past his prime.

Marciano was a very hard puncher with an amazing work rate. Granted, he missed a lot but when he did make contact, it hurt. He also could take a punch. He was at the tail end of the smaller heavy weights. Look at the difference in size between Ali and Marciano in the pic from their fake computer fight. It's very similar to the jump in the size of heavyweights we see now.

The average guy who doesn't lift weights and is not obese usually doesn't have arms measuring more than 12.5" (at the most).

By my estimation, Ezzard Charles gave Marciano the best fights -

The nose cut probably would've been a fight stopper in this modern age, and might of cost Marciano the fight if he hadn't ended it in the 8th.

Marciano is VERY underrated as a champion, Ali had mad respect for him
he had the heart of 2 lions, and an amazing work rate combined with crushing power
Marciano could have competed in any era - even the 70's , he would have bulked up etc...
Styles make fights and certain guys would have given him trouble for sure - Foreman, Liston,Frazier, Tyson come to mind real quick, though he could have beaten all these guys -it's possible, maybe not probable, but possible - Foreman maybe the one with the biggest odds against him

I remember that computer fight. Had Marciano knocking out Ali in the 13th round.
-
He trained 365 days a year and even did his running on Christmas day.
Before his fights he would train for several months in his training camp in the mountains. Instead of weights, he would carry and throw rocks and would do most of his running surrounded by nature with as few distractions or visitors as possible.
He did not only train very hard, especially for endurance with long-distance running, but he was also incredibly focused.

Marciano's work rate and crushing power were superhuman. I read somewhere that he used to practices his body punches with a 300lbs bad. From the hip he could make the bag swing. I think Marciano could have competed but not as a heavy weight. He was to undersized in terms of weight, height and reach. Marciano was an inside fighter and a fighter with reach could have kept him at bay if he used his jab effectively. By the time of Ali the heavyweights were moving in the over six feet range.

Never understood why other athletes are judge by bbing standards.
There's an interview with Tyson and he said when Holyfield and him were at their primes, they were in an unspoken competition to be better than the other. He said he wanted to be better than Holyfield in every aspect. He said his trainer would tell him that Holyfield's arms are bigger than yours. His legs are bigger than yours, So Tyson would train those bodyparts harder ect. This was straight out of Tyson's mouth. So one on the best baddest fighters on the planet was judging himself by bodybuilding standards...

Ali is listed at 6'3 and Marciano at 5'11 and Tyson at 5'10...They wanted Ali to tower over Marciano in that photo but it's not a true represention. Here's the fight with Maricano fighting a 6 '2 1/2 Joe Lewis...If were to believe Joe Lewis is close to 6'3, than it looks like Marciano is a legit 5'11 in this fight...And this is what Maricano really would have looked like fighting Ali in terms of height. Today's Marciano could have fought in the low 220's and been a Tyson type. He was an inch taller than Tyson and would have fought on the inside because of his reach...

Ernie Shavers could throw some bombs

Oh brother, you have a link to that "interview"? At the end of the day you really think Tyson, or even Holyfield for that matter (who incorporated weight lifting in to his training) gave a rat's ass as to who had bigger muscles? And as to actual measurements, though they had about the same chest size, Tyson had bigger arms, thighs, forearms, calves, and, of course that huge neck (which Holyfield was known for as well). Therefore, it seems highly unlikely that Tyson had even the slightest concern about the size of Holyfield's muscles.

Tyson was under six feet but couldn't get down to light heavy because he was so muscular. Even at 19 when he first came on the scene he was one of the most muscular boxers of his era. I remember guys talking about him at the gym in the late 1980s about how he had a bodybuilder's physique and some even speculated that he could have been a bodybuilding champion if he wanted to. Of course that suggestion was universally laughed off. Trading being the Heavyweight Champion of the world to pose in a thong. LMAO.
Point is that having an impressive muscular physique was one the least of Tyson's concerns. By all accounts, including Tyson himself, he did little if any weight lifting in his prime. I do believe he did dabble off and on in the weight room after his career began to fizzle out but weight lifting/bodybuilding played no role in his boxing success and the idea that he was seriously concerned about how his physique compared with other is ludicrous.
Scroll to 6:30 where a prime Mike Tyson specifically states he does no weight training. He does generously compliment Frank Bruno's fantastic build a bit earlier. An opponent that Tyson would later make short work of twice.

Yes, Cus D'Amato was still from the old-school era and trained Tyson the same way as the old champions, which meant they only used some body-weight training, plenty of running and heavy-bag work for strength and endurance.
I think Kevin Rooney has also confirmed that Tyson did not use weights.
He only started using weights when in prison.

Yes later on Tyson said they cared about how they looked. From body, to clothes, to houses etc. Why on earth do you think Holyfield brought in Lee Haney to train him? Holyfield brought in Haney for the drug advice and to put on muscle...When Tyson was with Cus, I'm sure there was no weight lifting. But later on he hit the weights...
Picture of Lee Haney and Holyfield. Maybe Lee Haney was teaching Holyfield was foot work.lol

Good article here about Evander's connection with juice
Evander Holyfield and steroids
I remember watching the Holyfield-Tyson fights of 1996 and 1997, and thinking how magnificent they looked. Both men entered the ring superbly muscled, each looking like testosterone personified. With Tyson, it was natural; he had been an abnormally thickly-muscled specimen from the time he was 13.
With Holyfield, in retrospect, it was not. He had been the Olympic bronze medalist in the light heavyweight (178 pound) division in 1984, at age 21. He then turned pro, campaigning first as a light heavyweight (175 pounds in the pro ranks), then as a cruiserweight (190 pounds). He won the cruiserweight title at age 24, in 1986. In 1988 he announced that he was moving up to heavyweight.
By the early 1990's Holyfield was a lean 215 pounds. People wondered how he had put on so much muscle so quickly. Holyfield attributed it to his revamped exercise and diet regimen under new trainer Mackie Shillstone.
You just don't put on that kind of muscle through sparring, hitting the bag, and roadwork. You don't even put it on through weight-lifting.
The dead giveaway with steroids is not just how much muscle you put on, but how it goes on. Steroids always seem to turn the trapezius muscles (which run from the shoulder to the neck) convex, and also give a weird emphasis to the definition between the pectoral muscles.
Here is what Wikipedia had to say about recent allegations that Holyfield had used steroids:
On February 28, 2007, Holyfield was anonymously linked to Applied Pharmacy Services, a pharmacy in Alabama that is currently under investigation for supplying athletes with illegal steroids and human growth hormone (HGH). He denies ever using performance enhancers.
Holyfield's name does not appear in the law enforcement documents reviewed. However, a patient by the name of "Evan Fields" caught investigators' attention. "Fields" shares the same birth date as Holyfield—October 19, 1962. The listed address for "Fields" was 794 Evander, Fairfield, Ga. 30213. Holyfield has a very similar address. When the phone number that, according to the documents, was associated with the "Fields" prescription, was dialed, Holyfield answered.
But we really didn't need all that to know. The only evidence we really needed was visual.
I point this out because Holyfield is such a perfect example of what steroids do to you: they make you magnificent, in a slightly misshapen way.
