Sure, after all biblical-age Walcott won most rounds.

most? actually it was a close fight. i had it 7 rounds to 5 walcott after 12 rounds. a close fight.

Ah, that's what you had. I would have expected you to have it 16 rounds for Marciano 1 for Walcott after 12 rounds.

score the fight urself. btw one judge had it 7 rounds to 5 walcott after 12, HE AGREED WITH ME. another judge had it 7 rounds to 4 with 1 even after 12, he basically agrees with me two.

wut about 23 year old rex layne?

or 22 year old roland lastarza? both major opponents that were young

Ah, Marciano's greatness is based on beating Rex Layne.

spoken like a true idiot. the layne victory was a big win for marciano. layne was the top ranked contender and considered by many to be the next heavyweight champion of the world. he was the favorite in the marciano fight. this was an important pre title win for marciano. layne was 34-1 with 25 knockouts when he fought marciano.

So where would you rank a fighter how's main achievement was to beat Rex Layne? All-time top 5?

(PS: NOW I understand also your Dempsey ranking)

i never said it was his "main" achievement. i did say however rex layne was one of rocky marcianos major opponents, and u would be lying to urself if u thought otherwise. the layne win was very important win for marciano. it established himself a top contender and in line for a title shot.
