Yancey hates Marciano. He thinks by tearing down Marciano, he somehow builds up Frazier . . .

You are totally full of crap.

It is really not worth the effort responding to someone like you, but I will in order to set the record straight.

I don't hate Marciano. Never have.

You periodically bring up this ridiculous, shallow mantra that I'm tearing down Marciano to build up Frazier.

That has nothing to do with it. Frazier stands or falls on his own.

Do I sincerely feel Marciano is overrated and would have had lots of trouble with quite a few of the '60s and later heavyweights?

Without question.

Ali would have embarrassed Rocky.

Maybe . . . but it sure is fun to get you frothing at the mouth denying it. . .

I read your prior post before you quickly deleted it.

I hope you don't leap to the conclusions in your profession like you've done here with me.

On the other hand, that might be your game. Throw a bunch of crap against the wall and hope some of it sticks.

Pitiful.

Frazier DID beat Ali, I don't think Rocky would have had a good a chance of accomplishing that. I also think that Frazier may be the only fighter who could have gotten that job done. (discounting that any fighter can have a lucky KO....but Frazier just plain gave Ali a beating) Though I honestly think I'd rather have been Ali after the fight, because Ali gave Frazier perhaps an even bigger beating...but based on points...I gave that fight to Frazier.

So using Marciano as a bench mark to make a case that Frazier is pretty remarkable, seems ok to me.

Sorry to get pretty emphatic on this thread, but it annoys me when some clown takes the fact that I think the Rock is overrated and distorts it into me hating the guy.

Granberry is a great man and knows who the frauds are in this game.

Unlike cabana boy wannabees like yourself.
