Why is Rocky Marciano such a tiny Heavyweight?

Post by BoxBuzz »

I was on vacation, and didn't have a lot on my to do list...when I got to thinkin'.

Who is taller than Rocky Marciano?

And then it occurred to me.

Everybody in our stable is......Even the girl...... Probably everyone in YOUR stable is taller than him as well.

Think about that.....

Vonda Ward is WAYYYYY Taller
Ancelet Wamba.....Taller
Max Schmeling....Taller
Our Roach Spray Salesman........yep you guessed it......he is .significantly taller than Rocky Marachino.


It's just very strange.......because when you think about, it Rocky's like a very very tiny Heavyweight. I'll bet anyone on our roster would probably beat him senseless.

TROO FACT: Rocky is below average in Mass. Which coincidently is EXACTLY the state he was born in. Brocton MASS! And yet his MASS is very limited. It's very true you know.

Marachino is just very very very small......like that red thing you put on the top of a vanilla shake. But at the end of the day....I guess he's still a Heavyweight.....but he's just a very little HW.

Not that there's anything wrong with that....there honestly isn't. But I'm just sayin.... It's just highly unusual in as much as you just don't see any heavyweights that small these days. Not even one. Maybe a Light HW now and again MIGHT be that small....but no HW's.

I just found it odd,, and considered it important to point it out, in case some of you hadn't given the matter much thought.

These days he'd end up with a nickname like "Pebbles" I suppose.

He's taller than Cecilia, and I think even height or possibly an inch or two taller than James Toney, but I know Holyfield and Norton are taller than him.

Still he is a very small HW.....sort of the "Nanoweight" of the HW's.


I think it's time for the Rock to face Ali. The reason being, Ali is working on his uppercuts.....and there's a good chance at the end of the fight, The Rock would be a bit taller because uppercuts can expand and stretch your spine vertically........and it would be easy to measure, because at the end of the fight, Rocky would be on his back and the seconds could take measurements to verify our theory. I'd bet Ali could leave The Rock standing at a solid six feet once he's had a nap and returns to vertical, post fight.

It's just a theory mind you.


But that's only if Crease will FINALLY sign his man on to fight a small town roach spray salesman from Kentucky.
