check out this KO. notice how slow, crude, telpgrahed the knockout blow was.
in comparison max baer's punches were much shorter, faster, crisper than that!

marciano is nothing but a clubfighter. he was horribly slow, had a 68" reach the reach of a bantamweights, he was very crude, had no defense, has overated power, threw wide loopy telegraphed punches, he was very small, he cut easily, he has no skill. how marciano never lost, became heavyweight champion, became the only undefeated heavyweight champion in history, and is regarded as a top 10 heavyweight of all time......i will never know.

Yep Primo Carnera would have snapped that out there a little quicker and certainly with more power and with better results. Rock was just a big marshmallow it looks like to me. I see what you mean there Brocky.

He seems to be taking something rather personal.... He's throwing telegraphed punches :)
