Make it so!

Maybe after he mans up and faces Muhammad Ali and Joe Louis... (And IF he beats them).
And there's a host of other fighters The Rock would have to face to even be considered in the Hallowed Halls.

But the absence of Ali and Louis from his record is very telling...

Ali is willing, but presently engaged....that's a fact we will not deny.

Sadly the great Joe Louis is managed by an incompetent yellow bellied dancing cadaver, and thus ineligible for greatness for the duration of this season.

Ali is also willing. I think i'm correct when I say that Goat promotions have never laid claim to The Lonsdale Belt. This is something that I am looking to rectify.

Lewis can not be defeated....in a running race, when he see's Rocky.

Owl for rogue?
- surely

Jbacca - manager?
- two world champs again

Two world champions within the first few weeks too.

Oh, and I reckon Dempsey has a better record in world title fights than Marciano. Marciano keeps having non-title fights instead of putting it on the line.

Hence: The reason why Rocky Marciano should NOT get in to the Hall of Fame.


Rocky had the tools to break his way in, but his manager with all his buzzish, crooked ways had held him back.
At the start of the season, Marciano fought BUMS!!!!
And now that he holds a World Title he refuses to defend it.


And he still hasn't fought: Louis, Ali, Dempsey, Johnson or Frazier.

He's stopped Dempsey.

But I agree with the rest.

Sush Mr. Jbacca. Don't strengthen his position.

He just took out the longest reigning champion of the season.

That probably works against him right Crease?.....Let's face it, THE ROCK should be nicer, and easier to get along with when it comes to long reigning former belt holders. But he goes and KO's the man in the last round.....It's uncivilized at it's best. Any more of this sort rough stuff, and I'm sure you'll be clamoring for his sim license to be revoked.

Marciano's? No, absolutely not the place wouldn't be the same without him.
Yours? Absolutely unquestionably YES.

And by "rough stuff" we all know that you mean crooked, Al Caponeish behaviour that has become accustomed to you during your time here.

IF Marciano has not earned his way to the HOF this season, it is only because of small minded jealous dolts who can't stand for "others" to be successful. He has dominated the #1 position for so long that even if he falters his place should be secure. His current KO percentage alone is enough to make the Sim Gods shudder in awesome delight.

However, we understand that Crease's campaign of libel, spin and treachery goes far in this world where "the politics of personal attack" carries so much excitement intrigue and interest.

His record is something to be proud of without reservation. And it has only improved as this season has progressed.

I sense fear that your 'safe' guidance won't be enough to earn the Rock a place in the HOF.

The fact that THE ROCK is so sure of himself that he is even willing to walk under a falling safe should only heighten his chances.

There is nothing "safe" about his record. He has fought anyone who will step in front of him. It has even cost him a few belts along the way to make the tough fights.

wake up and smell the coffee.

BoxBuzz wrote:It has even cost him a few belts along the way to make the tough fights.

That is one way of looking at it.

OR, you could say... That Rocky dropped titles to avoid the top challengers and repeatedly fight a boxer who he capably defeats (Peter Jackson)...

He Dropped his title to give Louis a good shellacking.

Now go away and quiet down in order to draw less attention to the sordid details of your bad managment of the Brown Bomber.

And you know that isn't the instance I was referrring to.

Oh, then you must be talking about the time he dropped his title to knock out Jackson.

What abouty Week 6 when Marciano ran from a fight against Louis? Or when he dropped his IBF title rather than face Louis as mandatory challenger.

I propose Dempsey, Ali and The ROCK for HOF

There certainly seems to be some late Zombie movement. Crunch time

Zombie Joe, the perfect Cinderalla story for this (or any) season. It's got all the trappings of an epic.

Let's wait until Week 41 is over then I'll throw up the subsequent HOF nomination threads for each fighter.

Dempsey and Ali should be a lock for the HoF. Marciano could also make it, at a push.

The Hall has been updated.

CONGRATULATIONS TO:

JBACCA
JACK DEMPSEY
MUHAMMAD ALI

They have all been entered..

Thank you!

Well done to Kevo as well for further enhancing his legacy in the HOF!
