I think when it comes to age and weight classes, being over 30 in the heavyweight division is the smallest of handicaps.
By the way, I think Marciano P4P is one of the very greatest fighters that ever lived.
Considering he weighed quite often in the 190 pound range and carried a lot of the weight in his massive thighs tells you how undersized he was as a heavyweight. He was never expected to be heavyweight champion, let alone retire undefeated as champ.
You can say what you want about Charles and Walcott giving him a run for their money, but you know what, that's what Charles and Walcott did. Total pros with mountains of ability and experience. Sick of people not just downplaying Marciano's accomplishments, but making it sound like Walcott and Charles were not great fighters either. It's a load.
