There are so many fighters past and modern that would have killed Marciano. Dempsey who hit just as hard was taller, faster, and had better defense. Ali would have an easy night with Marciano. George Foreman would maul marciano. That wouldnt even be a fight! Tyson who at the same height was twice as fast, more elusive, amazing defense in his prime and explosive ko power in both hands. I think a prime Joe Lewis would beat Marciano. I just dont see the big deal about this guy. I respect his record
@b7r7u7c7e Marciano was like a heavyweight Carmen Basilio, he was incredibly tough, had a great chin, one-punch ko power in either hand, an incredible workrate and the best stamina of any heavyweight champion his stamina, workrate and power meant he could throw 90 punches a round for 15 rounds, any of which could knock you out. He made you stay on defense the whole fight. Louis and Ali hated being pressed, I see him beating them, as well as Johnson, Frazier or Patterson.
@b7r7u7c7e I think you're right about Tyson, Dempsey, and Foreman. I also see Tunney outboxing him and Holmes, Lewis, Jeffries and the Klitschkos being too big for him.
Wouldnt he have been disqualified in todays matches? the second punch seems a bit similar to the one Arthur Abraham gave Andre Dirrell in the Super Six Middleweight.
Hate to bring up his name, but his arrogance stinks and he doesn't know his place, Mayweather said that he's the greatest, even better than Marciano, and I think that he wouldn't have lasted 2 rounds with the Rock. Rocky would've grounded his ass to dog meat..... greastest ever... lol. Till he beats Pacman, we might throw his name for discussion but ultimately no.
@yanholing Yeah, and it looked like his knee was not down, so he could have kept punching until the ref gave him a standing 8 count or till he fell. Rocky had class. He's just lucky Leon Spinks came along after he retired. ;)
@7Know7Thy7Enemy7 if you wanna know a fake looking punch then watch tyson vs bruce seldon but to be honest the heavyweight division was an all time low during tysons time in the 80s and thats why the hottest weight division at the time was the middle weight division. aside from a 5 years past prime holmes and a puffed up cruiser weight named spinks who did tyson fight in the 80s?
@dirtyjew1974 The real question is. Who did Rocky fight? Past the prime boxers? 99 year old legends? Mike Tyson vs Rocky? Good fight it would be. But you tell me, did Rocky Fought boxers that are close to the boxers Ali fought?
for the love of boxing, let's quit the racist comments, there's absolutely no need for that ignorance. I was beaten badly with 2x4's and almost murdered one night because of the color of my skin...and I still see everyone as equal. I love and hate all of you the same lol either way Rocky was a heavy hitting fighter with a good style. thanks for posting this...great knockout
Another thing to keep in mind about Marciano before trying to belittle his record and quality of opposition ...Marciano stood about 5'10" and weighed in around 185lbs. Often fighting and knocking out guys with significant height, weight, and reach advantages on him.
And a lot of people talk and praise Moore about being able to box and box well as he got older. But when the subject of Marciano clobbering his ass out comes up ...OH HE WAS OVER THE HILL! LOL! Walcott was coming off of VERY good performances against the younger Charles so I don't buy the "he was over the hill and shot" shit. Louis ...ok yeah he had seen his better days. But the others were still going strong. Marciano was an absolute savage of a fighter. Simple as that
49-0! Deal with it HOMIES. This guy was the definition of tough. And had the power to knock over a tree. Thug pieces of dog shit like Roger Mayweather like to try and trash Marciano too. But numbers and performance don't lie. This guy only went down twice in his career and popped right back up before the count even reached 3. This shot that he landed on Homey Walcott is one of the top 5 best punches ever landed. Rock's endurance was ENDLESS. This guy was a fighter in every sense of the word.
@MrTodd498 what is all the homey talk for? Noone can take anything from rocky. You cannot trash him...he was a blockbuster and would knock anyone or thing out he hit everyone knows that.As far as boxing he did not fight everyone and was also one of the most protected fighters of that era. Walcott had been fighting since 1930(22 yrs)
and was 38. Rocky is in some peoples top 10 and others top 5.
@MrTodd498 as far as being undefeated...that doesnt prove much...who you have fought and defeated proves your worth as a fighter. Look at mayweather? Hes a protected fighter. Dont make it a race thing. Rocky was tough as nails andonly a fool would deny that.
@MrTodd498 Please also go over who he fought, charles, moore, louis, walcott all after 1950. With rockys style he could not fight more than 10 yrs and not be killed..lol he fought 7 yrs. When he fought the big names all of them were 38 to 44 yrs old and had fought since 1928 to 1932. Lets just be real about the situation. We do not know how he would have fared against anyone in any other era...rocky was great in the situation he was in..but take a look at the situation....ala mayweather
@Noirvids1 We are not talking about how he would do in other eras. Knowledge of nutrition, ring skill, training, etc, all these are things that have to be taken into consideration when talking about eras. Naturally the sport evolved over time with the help of those things. So asking how Marciano would do in other eras ...we will never know. But we do know he did VERY well in the era he was in. Ezzard Charles ...regarded as one of the all time greats, fought Rocky at 33 years old. NOT old
@MrTodd498 I understand ,..I alone was talking about other eras..and I said what you said...we dont know. The same can be argued for any fighter wasnt making it about him only. Im not a rocky basher at all. What im saying is he was a very protected fighter if anyone knows the history behind any of his fights anyway...like mayweather...protected. Just my opinion. Its also my opinion that rocky would walk thru almost anyone protected or not.....All in all though he was a class act professionally
@MrTodd498 A small heavyweight who came during a time of average heavyweights\blown up light heavys. A shame he just missed an era when guys got bigger. No one would KO'd him, I know that.
@MrTodd498 Dempsey, Ali, Foremon, and Tyson who at the same height was twice as fast, more elusive and had amazing defense in his prime. He would have destroyed the slow moving flat footed Marciano. Dont get me wrong I have respect for the rock but I wouldnt put him in the top ten. And yest Holmes would have destroyed Marciano.
I don't care what anyone says. Rocky will always be a top 10 fighter. A great man. His story was true success through blood, sweat, and tears. Fear of failure pushed him to the top, and kept him there. If Walcott had killed him Rocky would've gotten back up and found a way to win. God bless this beautiful man.
Ok everyone. Who wins Bruce Lee or Ali ? Lee was great but how many people have seen him compete in a ring in a real fight ? I know he gave an exhibition of his Jeet ku do (? I cant spell). Who wins Hoyce Gracie or Lee ?
People forget that he did this to a Walcott who was phenomenally conditioned for this fight and fought the best fight of his career. Stylistically speaking Walcott was a nightmare for Rocky like Ezzard Charles and Roland LaStarza were (every fighter has a style that they are vulnerable to.) What separated Rocky from others was he never ducked fighters that posed stylistic problems for him and gave them rematches when they gave him a tough fight. He won them all and improved in the rematches.
@mongoose704 That's a good point and one that I have also made! All the Marciano bashers call them old men, but they possessed a style and skill that would've been problems for any of the great champs. Rock would've rolled over any slugger in history IMO. Only slick stylists like Moore, Walcott, Charles, and Lasrarza could make the appearance of giving him trouble. But ultimately, he would roll over them too! Endless endurance, granite chin, 1 punch kayo power, and an inimitable will to win!
@strictlycomments lol, You're at it again numb nuts? Rock got dropped by two old men. Walcott and Moore. No matter how a delusional moron likes you sugar coats your post. Walcott , LOuis,Moore and yes Charles were old and shot./\\\Shop worn. What "prime' top tier puncher did the Rock face. What fighter over 200 and a top fighter did he fight? Did the Rock ever defend against a figher over 200? tick tock tick t ock tick tock tick tock.
@RayPFP Actually, you're the one who's at it again! I've always posted my belief that Marciano was number 1! You don't see me going to a great champs video to bash him, like you, you loser! I only leave positive comments, it's the cyberspace, nitwit, youtube, wannabe, self-proclaimed boxing expert losers, like you, who have a need to come on here, as if u know something, and bash a great champ. Wut possess an idiot like u to do this? U have a need to feel like u know something cuz ur a loser
@RayPFP Louis was so "shot" that he was undefeated in his comeback attempt. Charles was 32 years old in his PRIME! Walcott and Moore were both older however power is the last thing to go in a fighter. Moore is one of the most devastating punchers in boxing history and Walcott had a terrifically lethal left hook. Both dropped Marciano for a combined total of 4 seconds and merely pissed Rocky off. Ask Moorer if old men can hit hard.
@mongoose704 No stupid. You're wrong again. Charles was a natural middle. He moved up to Lt heavy but after killing a man in the ring he couldn' t get fights at Lt heavy anymore. He was forced to move up to heavy. Charles wasn't prime at heavy. He wasn't never a true heavy. He was at his best at Lt heavy.Moorer wasn't a natural heavy either stupid.
@RayPFP What? Ezzard Charles was a natural middleweight? On what planet you douchetard? The lightest he fought at is 171. You are truly proof of the genetic handicap on intellect caused by the breeding of jackasses and chickens.
@mongoose704 Mongoose your just another stupid delusional idiot slinging insults. Keep posting shit stain. Let the world see just how stupid you are.Seems your the proof of the genetic handicap on intellect caused by breeding of jackasses and chickens. Charles went 36-4 at middle. Do some research the next time dickface..
@RayPFP I did my research but the difference is I am literate and have an understanding of math inequalties, such as 171 lbs is over 10 pounds heavier than the middleweight limit. Repeat after me: 171lb > 160 lbs. Even you can do....well I doubt it. I am also capable of determining the lightest weight Ezzard Charles fought at thanks to being able to do a google search and reading the english print on Boxrec regarding Charles' career. I can be your reading tutor if you need one, Corky.
@mongoose704 Everyone read this morons post and have a laugh. This moron says that Charles never fought at middlweight. Smart dude, a real boxing historian. Mongoose you now officially have zero credibility.Keep posting jackass ,you're letting the world know just how stupid you are.
@RayPFP "Hey idiot ! Ever here of a fighter named Charly Burly:? "
LMAO! Well this idiot hasn't ever "here" of a fighter named "Charly Burly:" and neither did Boxrec or Ezzard Charles for that matter. Repeat after me. 171 pounds is greater than 160 pounds. Have you ever "here" of Charly?
@mongoose704 Don't even waste ur time with this POS! Even when you direct him to factual scientific evidence regarding the power of Marciano's punch, the asshole doesn't believe it. I think you hit the nail on the head, he's a racist! He's on every Marciano vid trashing the Rock. He can't stand the fact that Marciano would've beaten all his heroes, the guys a waste of time; a twit who no one listens to, so he spends his time writing anonymously on a cyberspace forum. He's a nothing and a nobody!
@mongoose704 Thats not true. Louis had lost power in his right. He didn't have t hat power anymore. Further proof of Louis' decline was Marciano fighting tomato can Applegate just 2 fights prior. The Rock couldn't put a dent in the 11-14 fighter and went t o decision. But just 2 fights later he stopped a at the end of line Louis. Youth prevailed. Marciano was at his best against old men. But even the old men gave him more than what he bargained for. Walcott 38 , Moore 42.
@RayPFP Yeah Joe Louis was such a tomato can he was undefeated in his comeback, LMAO! Ezzard Charles was in his prime. BTW ask Michael Moorer if old men can't hit? Ask the 23 fighters Archie Moore knocked out AFTER he fought Rocky if he couldn't hit?
Applegate? Rocky won the decision handily and battered the fuck out of him. Nobody disputes that.
@mongoose704 You're stupid. Rocks manager would'nt touch a near prime Louis. That 8 fight stretch in 8 months took everything Joe had left idiot. It did more to finish him then help him. He was training in his backyard dumbass. To poor to afford a trainer so he trained in his backyard with his young son for those fights including the Marciano fight. He was broke with IRS hot on his trail. They forced him to comeback and fight. You're about as stupid as they come Mongoose.
@RayPFP Stick to modelling Barbie Lingerie. I'll print this slowly for you, Corky and if you need it to be translated into dipshitese I can find someone to oblige you.
"Very few people knew this, but I had a weakness, a bad weakness. I didn't like to be crowded. And that was Marciano's thing. He always crowded. I knew I could never beat Rocky." - Joe Louis
LMAO you really are that fucking stupid abut boxing. That's straight from Joe Louis himself.
@RayPFP I insult filthy digusting racist vermin like you. Very good. How did you manage to figure that out? perhaps literacy is but a step away for you!
"Your on cyrstal meth if you feel Marciano beat s 1938 Louis."
So you believe Joe Louis was on crystal meth too. Then again you claim Ezzard Charles fought forty fights at middleweight, LMAO. Typical jackbooted dipshit racist, that's you.
@mongoose704 Hey you stupid white ape Rock said he could never beat Louis in his prime. You stupid fuck Ali said he couldn't beat Tyson. Fighters say certain things doesn't mean they actually believe it. They are being humble you stupid fuck. I have heard of stupid people,but you take the cake , you're one the dumbest people I have came in contact with in a long time.
@RayPFP Oh I get it, you meant "unga bunga jo no mean it cuz he black and rocky white and black beat white cracker up unga bunga ook ook me beat chest me konk donkey on head me fuck in butt me beat you up cuz me so smart."
Yeah Joe didn't mean it that's why he went into detail as to why he could never beat Rocky. And you said that huffing paint wouldn't kill your brain cells, LMAO!
@mongoose704 spoken like a real caveman. Keep posting you stupid fuck. Let the world know just how much of a trailor trash cracker you are. Bet you don't have running water . Are you t aking a bath or shower this year?
@RayPFP "Are you t aking a bath or shower this year?"
Why do you need a tutor for bathing as well as English? Once you graduate lice picking I can teach you what soap is but I think other's have already acquainted you with soap several times, bitch.
Rocky beat great black fighters. Go play pin the tail on the honky elsewhere. I know you're resentful that your soap tutors pinned their tail up you during your time in juvie.
@RayPFP Here you go again?! WTF is wrong with u, kid?! Do u live to trash RockyMarciano? Hey everybody this fukn nitwit posts trash about Rocky on every Marciano vid. He's a fukn jerk, who can't live with the fact that RM woulda crushed all his heroes, so he's tryin' to convince evryone otherwise. The cyberspace, wannabe, boxing expert wasn't even alive during Foreman's 1st reign, but he's in luv w/him! Go back to the asylum, Ray, ur meds are waiting!
@mongoose704 You're a stupid little fuck. Louis was lite years ahead of the Rock. The Rock wasn't shit compared to Joe Louis. Louis held title 12 years you stupid freak. Marciano held title for 3 and a half years?
Louis defended 25 times. But could of had as many as 40 defenses if not for ww2. You stupid little ape Marciano was a joke compared to the great Joe Louis. Fucking little redneck faggot you.
@RayPFP So you think Joe Louis is a stupid little ape faggot redneck because it was Joe Louis himself who said he could never ever beat Rocky. If you didn't get that I can type it in chimpese for you after you're through picking your mother's lice off your balls.
@RayPFP Now you claim Rocky said he could never beat Joe Louis. Just like your lie that Ezzard Charles at >171 pounds fought 40 fights at middleweight. Here is the quote again and this time I typed it at one character per second so you can keep up. ""Very few people knew this, but I had a weakness, a bad weakness. I didn't like to be crowded. And that was Marciano's thing. He always crowded. I knew I could never beat Rocky." - Joe Louis
@mongoose704 Actually the Rock was lackluster in fight against Applegate. Applegate was 11-13 and the Rock couldn't put a dent him him. A Black fighter, though a tomato can , that was still in his 20s and the presented a problem for the Rock.No ko...Same with the small ham and egger Lowry.They fought twice and ROck couldn't come close to break ing an egg against him.Both fights went to decision..
@RayPFP LMAO you fucktard he damn near won every round and not a soul disputes the decision. And Rocky won UNANIMOUS DECISIONS TWICE against the running and ducking Lowry.
@mongoose704 Yeah but Moore began pro career at 146. Moore couldn'[t get fights at lower weighs so he had to continue moving up to get paydays. After winning belt he didn't want his corner picking him up because he felt he could won belt years earlier. Jim Crow prevented him from not winning belt until age 36.Moore said Durrell was the hardest hitting fighter he faced. Not Marciano. Lowry said the same. Marciano wasn't the hardest puncher he faced.Marciano won a disputed decision over him.
@mongoose704 Marciano never beat a prime great. If he did can you list ? Marciano never ko'ed a black fighter under 33. He couldn't put a dent in 5'10 177 pound Lowry, twice. Lowry went to his grave feeling that he got robbed.Press row had Lowry winning 6-4. Marciano said that he could fight Lowry 100 times and 100 t imes fight goes to decision. The same with Tomato can Applegate. These were two black tomato cans still in their 20s and the Rock could'nt hurt them.
@RayPFP Lowry? The same fighter that claimed he won the first fight yet "threw it?" LMAO! That first fight where he didn't land a punch after round 4? LMAO! Lowry went to his grave claiming he was robbed of 43 fucking decisions you moron! He claims he only lost 23 fights in his book HAHAHAHAHAHA! Hell Pernell Whitaker has nothing on Lowry's "I wuz robbed" bullshit. Marciano beat him twice, both by unanimous decision. Your only argument against Rocky is skin color. Go away racist.
@mongoose704 That's not true. Many at ringside including all the local newspapers had Lowry winning. YOu're the racist. Marciano beat a bunch of old farts and tomato cans and you are here defending him like he was some great fighter that beat a bunch of great fighters in t heir primes. Truth is he never beat a prime great. Lowry beat Marciano.A fighter with a below 500 record.Rock s manager made sure Rock got decision. Same with Lastarza 1. Charles 1. He should be 46-3.
@RayPFP Source? All the local newspapers...only according to Lowry's book whom also claimed he was screwed out of 43 other decisions. Prove that Ricky's manager rigged the decision.
You are the naziesque racist fucktard because you constantly bring race into the discussion and your only argument against Marciano is that he didn't beat a black man in his twenties. Why does he have to be black? Somehow black skin means you're a better fighter? You think so, LMAO!
@mongoose704 Take a young Walcott or young Louis and Marciano is toast. He was only impressive against old black fighters or used up ones. Charles , a former middle lost a disputed decision to the Rock but was startiing to lose often at the time. He was ko'ed by Lloyd at middle years before Marciano ko'ed him. That was the case for all his top tier opponents. LaStarza , not a world beater, was the one of the few fighters t hat wasn't ko';ed before facing the Rock or ko'ed at a lower weight.
@RayPFP Ezzard Charles was so old at 33 he was heavyweight champion only a year or so prior. Jersey Joe Walcott was so old and washed up he was only a year removed from winning the title, LOL! LaStarza was 37-0 when Rocky beat him and was a top contender and in line for a title shot. LaStarza was perhaps the most carefully avoided boxer in history. He was 53-3 and still in his prime when he worked his way back into contention. Joe Louis said he could NEVER beat Rocky even in his prime!
BROCKTON IS LOADED WITH INGRATES!WHAT PATHETIC CITY!ROCKY MARCIANO,THE WOMENIZING VIBRATOR KING WAS REALLY WORLD CHAMP FROM september 23 1952 to november 30 1956 when moor lost2fast floyd. JUST cuz ONE QUIT ON APRIL 27 DOEsnt MEAN he is no longer CHAMPION LIKE FUCKING CURSED wikiPEDOIA SAYs. BOOKMARK PRINT ALL TRUE WIKIPEDIA-WATCH ORG. So if rocky died on february 3 56 then death takes his title?bs u morons!title is only passed on once new champ is crowned! DUH!
@eugen4372 I was talking about the past in general. Nowadays, regardless of the talent level in the heavy-weight divisions, there's very little interest in them.
@jabjabmove I would easily concede your point, however a missed punch tells no tales, and so there is no tangible aftermath left to examine, so we actually only examine the ones that leave a mark in boxing history. Likewise, landing that big punch is always "easier said than done", look at the punishment Marciano was willing to absorb over 13 rounds just to get that one shot in! It showed that Marciano was indeed fearless in his ability to totally commit to a punch!
An exhibition of Rocky's sheer power is on display here. Being fearless allows him to be totally relaxed, and this is necessary to employ precision technique.He gets firmly planted, the power starts at the floor, he loads up, shifts his weight, pivots & rotates his trunk. His upper body torques the power even further by cocking the punch and spring releasing it. By the time his fist snaps around(lastly), it's loaded w/enough torque to lift 1000 lbs, 1 foot off the ground(measured @1000 ft. lbs).
@lggriffin your statistics are a bit off, he could lift 1000 ibs 2-3 inches off the ground I believe was the actual statistic, still, almost nobody in history has ever been able to do that with a punch besides him :P
@67Sman To clarify; When Marciano was destroying all challengers with his blockbuster assault, the U.S. Testing Co. was asked to measure the power of Rocky's wallop. Its findings:"Marciano's knockout blow packs more explosive energy than an armour-piercing bullet and represents as much energy as would be required to spot lift 1000 pounds one foot off the ground." Boxing Illustrated December 1963
The test was measured on a ballistic pendulum which measures "foot pounds", not inches.
@67Sman Likewise, Marciano is my favorite. I think Marciano, Ali, Dempsey, and Louis were the greatest hvywt champs. I liked frazier and Foreman. Walcott was incredibly crafty and skillful, as was Charles. Archie Moore was a great fighter and Billy Conn was one of the greatest lt. heavies ever. Robinson was the first fighter to be called "pound for pound" the best fighter ever. I also liked Hagler, Basilio, Duran, Arguello, Zarate...all tough tough guys!

@Unadapted You shut the fuck up you closet homo. I don't sit around talking about who has the best guard in the world, because it's two men in gay submission wrestling shit.
Rocky Marciano was a ROCK!!! one of a kind... 0:12 Walcott landed a solid punch aswell but it wasnt hard enough... None Human Being could survive that punch not even guys like Muhamma Ali, Mike Tyson and Chuck Norris but Bruce Lee could...
Old timers beaten on the back of nobodies, retired as 'white' and undefeated.....was the ultimate plane crash part of the imortal plan? No personal disrespect intended but Marciano met non in division at their level best and that's the truth!
@TABERSHAN if you listen to George and Mike talk about Rocky you would know perfectly well that they would not find it that easy taking Rocky to school. Even Ali, who sparred with him, wasnt confident of beating him if he was in his prime.
@TG7111P at Marciano never was really strong opponent. He fought at the limit of its capabilities with the elderly such as a light heavyweight, Charles and others. He was lucky that he had fought with Luis when he was old.
These legends of heavy weight would have killed him in the first round. And of course myself, Joe Louis, among others.
you are too stupid to describe it at words. Rocky Marciano was the greatest fighter of all time! Joe Louis would have got knocked out in less than 4 rounds if he fought Rocky at his prime. Old Louis backed up and fought cautiously against Rocky. Prime Joe Louis wouldn't do that , he would come to Rock and got KO'd quickly. No one survives against Marciano in inside fight.
@Marchegiaanoouuu Firstly, you dysmature nit, so shut your stinking mouth. secondly, Marciano himself admitted that he would never have won the Louis in his prime. Joe Louis is too fast for this Italian halfwits.
Because Louis's greatest boxer and Marciano lucky fag .
@Punishment683 Rocky was one of the most determined atheletes of all time ! Supreme condition , KO power in either hand and the heart of a lion . He punched from angles ,countered and made his opponents pay in exchanges ! When he was in the military I wonder if he spent any time in the Philippines , Manny Pacquiao fights just like him ?
Lets not b fooled he was a non stop puncher and he could take punishment but he had no jab he was easy to hit he had no footwork and he overall had no Skill he got by on punching power and he only beat two real heavyweights an OOLLLLD joe louis and an even older walcott. Archie Moore was a blown up light heavyweight and Ezzard Charles was a blown up Middleweight. Marciano couldnt do shit with joe louis in HIS PRime
Walcott would not take a fall. Look at the video closely, it is the 13th round and the 38 year old Walcott is tired. His arms are hanging at his waist and Rocky pins him into a corner. Walcott is looking to end the fight with a right hook as Rocky seemingly missed with a jab. Unfortunately it was a set up as Rocky connected with a right of his own. Take a look at photos on the net and you will see that this punch was devastating.
@TopClassFighter2 i think its because jersey joe walcott was the champ and he knocked rocky marciano down in 1st round and outpointed him bascially the whole match and rocky could hardly see because of the cuts but he came back and knocked him out with 1 punch and its not just a ko, its a one punch knockout completely cold ko so i guess thats why its so famous, it can also be the fact that a lot of people think walcott was almost killed by just 1 punch and its rockys famous suzie q
Rocky Marciano new EXACTLY how to take someone down. Notice in this clip how he derides Walcott's attention, and then hits him opposite to Walcott's direction of movement.
@TopClassFighter2 walcott was obviously out on the first one, the second one wasnt necessary, and it was barely anything comparing to the first one, he only added the second one to make sure walcott wouldnt get up and win the fight from there on. this video doesnt show walcott falling from the rope, look at the other videos that show him falling from the rope, he was out cold
Aybody who thinks the lwft had any impact on the outcome of the fight is silly. There was no way in HELL Walcott was getting up from that copunt. The ref could have counetd to 100 and Jersey Joe wouldn't have gotten up. Even if he had he'd be so injured there'd be no way he could hold Rocky off and he would only delay his eventual KO. The left was a mere tap compared to that dynamite right.

There are so many fighters past and modern that would have killed Marciano. Dempsey who hit just as hard was taller, faster, and had better defense. Ali would have an easy night with Marciano. George Foreman would maul marciano. That wouldnt even be a fight! Tyson who at the same height was twice as fast, more elusive, amazing defense in his prime and explosive ko power in both hands. I think a prime Joe Lewis would beat Marciano. I just dont see the big deal about this guy. I respect his record

@b7r7u7c7e Marciano was like a heavyweight Carmen Basilio, he was incredibly tough, had a great chin, one-punch ko power in either hand, an incredible workrate and the best stamina of any heavyweight champion his stamina, workrate and power meant he could throw 90 punches a round for 15 rounds, any of which could knock you out. He made you stay on defense the whole fight. Louis and Ali hated being pressed, I see him beating them, as well as Johnson, Frazier or Patterson.

@b7r7u7c7e I think you're right about Tyson, Dempsey, and Foreman. I also see Tunney outboxing him and Holmes, Lewis, Jeffries and the Klitschkos being too big for him.

Rocky could wrestle, too! He'd have made a great MMA fighter, like a proto-Dan Henderson.

Another thing to keep in mind about Marciano before trying to belittle his record and quality of opposition ...Marciano stood about 5'10" and weighed in around 185lbs. Often fighting and knocking out guys with significant height, weight, and reach advantages on him.
MrTodd498 6 months ago
And a lot of people talk and praise Moore about being able to box and box well as he got older. But when the subject of Marciano clobbering his ass out comes up ...OH HE WAS OVER THE HILL! LOL! Walcott was coming off of VERY good performances against the younger Charles so I don't buy the "he was over the hill and shot" shit. Louis ...ok yeah he had seen his better days. But the others were still going strong. Marciano was an absolute savage of a fighter. Simple as that

49-0! Deal with it HOMIES. This guy was the definition of tough. And had the power to knock over a tree. Thug pieces of dog shit like Roger Mayweather like to try and trash Marciano too. But numbers and performance don't lie. This guy only went down twice in his career and popped right back up before the count even reached 3. This shot that he landed on Homey Walcott is one of the top 5 best punches ever landed. Rock's endurance was ENDLESS. This guy was a fighter in every sense of the word.
MrTodd498 6 months ago 21
@MrTodd498 what is all the homey talk for? Noone can take anything from rocky. You cannot trash him...he was a blockbuster and would knock anyone or thing out he hit everyone knows that.As far as boxing he did not fight everyone and was also one of the most protected fighters of that era. Walcott had been fighting since 1930(22 yrs)
and was 38. Rocky is in some peoples top 10 and others top 5.
Noirvids1 6 months ago
@MrTodd498 as far as being undefeated...that doesnt prove much...who you have fought and defeated proves your worth as a fighter. Look at mayweather? Hes a protected fighter. Dont make it a race thing. Rocky was tough as nails andonly a fool would deny that.
Noirvids1 6 months ago
@MrTodd498 Please also go over who he fought, charles, moore, louis, walcott all after 1950. With rockys style he could not fight more than 10 yrs and not be killed..lol he fought 7 yrs. When he fought the big names all of them were 38 to 44 yrs old and had fought since 1928 to 1932. Lets just be real about the situation. We do not know how he would have fared against anyone in any other era...rocky was great in the situation he was in..but take a look at the situation....ala mayweather
Noirvids1 6 months ago
@Noirvids1 We are not talking about how he would do in other eras. Knowledge of nutrition, ring skill, training, etc, all these are things that have to be taken into consideration when talking about eras. Naturally the sport evolved over time with the help of those things. So asking how Marciano would do in other eras ...we will never know. But we do know he did VERY well in the era he was in. Ezzard Charles ...regarded as one of the all time greats, fought Rocky at 33 years old. NOT old

@MrTodd498 I understand ,..I alone was talking about other eras..and I said what you said...we dont know. The same can be argued for any fighter wasnt making it about him only. Im not a rocky basher at all. What im saying is he was a very protected fighter if anyone knows the history behind any of his fights anyway...like mayweather...protected. Just my opinion. Its also my opinion that rocky would walk thru almost anyone protected or not.....All in all though he was a class act professionally

I don't care what anyone says. Rocky will always be a top 10 fighter. A great man. His story was true success through blood, sweat, and tears.

People forget that he did this to a Walcott who was phenomenally conditioned for this fight and fought the best fight of his career. Stylistically speaking Walcott was a nightmare for Rocky like Ezzard Charles and Roland LaStarza were (every fighter has a style that they are vulnerable to.) What separated Rocky from others was he never ducked fighters that posed stylistic problems for him and gave them rematches when they gave him a tough fight. He won them all and improved in the rematches.

@mongoose704 That's a good point and one that I have also made! All the Marciano bashers call them old men, but they possessed a style and skill that would've been problems for any of the great champs. Rock would've rolled over any slugger in history IMO. Only slick stylists like Moore, Walcott, Charles, and Lasrarza could make the appearance of giving him trouble. But ultimately, he would roll over them too! Endless endurance, granite chin, 1 punch kayo power, and an inimitable will to win!

@RayPFP Louis was so "shot" that he was undefeated in his comeback attempt. Charles was 32 years old in his PRIME! Walcott and Moore were both older however power is the last thing to go in a fighter. Moore is one of the most devastating punchers in boxing history and Walcott had a terrifically lethal left hook. Both dropped Marciano for a combined total of 4 seconds and merely pissed Rocky off. Ask Moorer if old men can hit hard.

The Rock couldn't put a dent in the 11-14 fighter and went t o decision. But just 2 fights later he stopped a at the end of line Louis. Youth prevailed. Marciano was at his best against old men. But even the old men gave him more than what he bargained for. Walcott 38 , Moore 42.

@mongoose704 Take a young Walcott or young Louis and Marciano is toast. He was only impressive against old black fighters or used up ones. Charles , a former middle lost a disputed decision to the Rock but was startiing to lose often at the time. He was ko'ed by Lloyd at middle years before Marciano ko'ed him. That was the case for all his top tier opponents. LaStarza , not a world beater, was the one of the few fighters t hat wasn't ko';ed before facing the Rock or ko'ed at a lower weight.

@jabjabmove I would easily concede your point, however a missed punch tells no tales, and so there is no tangible aftermath left to examine, so we actually only examine the ones that leave a mark in boxing history. Likewise, landing that big punch is always "easier said than done", look at the punishment Marciano was willing to absorb over 13 rounds just to get that one shot in! It showed that Marciano was indeed fearless in his ability to totally commit to a punch!
strictlycomments 11 months ago 2
An exhibition of Rocky's sheer power is on display here. Being fearless allows him to be totally relaxed, and this is necessary to employ precision technique.He gets firmly planted, the power starts at the floor, he loads up, shifts his weight, pivots & rotates his trunk. His upper body torques the power even further by cocking the punch and spring releasing it. By the time his fist snaps around(lastly), it's loaded w/enough torque to lift 1000 lbs, 1 foot off the ground(measured @1000 ft. lbs).

@67Sman To clarify; When Marciano was destroying all challengers with his blockbuster assault, the U.S. Testing Co. was asked to measure the power of Rocky's wallop. Its findings:"Marciano's knockout blow packs more explosive energy than an armour-piercing bullet and represents as much energy as would be required to spot lift 1000 pounds one foot off the ground." Boxing Illustrated December 1963
The test was measured on a ballistic pendulum which measures "foot pounds", not inches.

Rocky Marciano was a ROCK!!! one of a kind... 0:12 Walcott landed a solid punch aswell but it wasnt hard enough... None Human Being could survive that punch not even guys like Muhamma Ali, Mike Tyson and Chuck Norris but Bruce Lee could...

Old timers beaten on the back of nobodies, retired as 'white' and undefeated.....was the ultimate plane crash part of the imortal plan? No personal disrespect intended but Marciano met non in division at their level best and that's the truth!

shame there wasnt an Ali around to take rocky to school, or a tyson for that matter.

@TABERSHAN if you listen to George and Mike talk about Rocky you would know perfectly well that they would not find it that easy taking Rocky to school. Even Ali, who sparred with him, wasnt confident of beating him if he was in his prime.

@TG7111P at Marciano never was really strong opponent. He fought at the limit of its capabilities with the elderly such as a light heavyweight, Charles and others. He was lucky that he had fought with Luis when he was old.
These legends of heavy weight would have killed him in the first round. And of course myself, Joe Louis, among others.
so shut your mouth brainless half-wit.

@Punishment683
you are too stupid to describe it at words. Rocky Marciano was the greatest fighter of all time! Joe Louis would have got knocked out in less than 4 rounds if he fought Rocky at his prime. Old Louis backed up and fought cautiously against Rocky. Prime Joe Louis wouldn't do that , he would come to Rock and got KO'd quickly. No one survives against Marciano in inside fight.

@Marchegiaanoouuu Firstly, you dysmature nit, so shut your stinking mouth. secondly, Marciano himself admitted that he would never have won the Louis in his prime. Joe Louis is too fast for this Italian halfwits.
Because Louis's greatest boxer and Marciano lucky fag .

@Punishment683 Rocky was one of the most determined atheletes of all time ! Supreme condition , KO power in either hand and the heart of a lion . He punched from angles ,countered and made his opponents pay in exchanges ! When he was in the military I wonder if he spent any time in the Philippines , Manny Pacquiao fights just like him ?

Lets not b fooled he was a non stop puncher and he could take punishment but he had no jab he was easy to hit he had no footwork and he overall had no Skill he got by on punching power and he only beat two real heavyweights an OOLLLLD joe louis and an even older walcott. Archie Moore was a blown up light heavyweight and Ezzard Charles was a blown up Middleweight. Marciano couldnt do shit with joe louis in HIS PRime

@boxer220 Moore was actually a blown up welter. He began his pro career at 146 while Charles fought amatuer at feather and turned pro at middle.

grumm70,
Walcott would not take a fall. Look at the video closely, it is the 13th round and the 38 year old Walcott is tired. His arms are hanging at his waist and Rocky pins him into a corner. Walcott is looking to end the fight with a right hook as Rocky seemingly missed with a jab. Unfortunately it was a set up as Rocky connected with a right of his own. Take a look at photos on the net and you will see that this punch was devastating.

Look at the way he walks towards him. Epic. Then he lets go with a beautiful punch that would make any boxer envious.

I Just Want To Know Why Is This
Knockout Considered the Best Ever ?
TopClassFighter2 1 year ago
@TopClassFighter2 i think its because jersey joe walcott was the champ and he knocked rocky marciano down in 1st round and outpointed him bascially the whole match and rocky could hardly see because of the cuts but he came back and knocked him out with 1 punch and its not just a ko, its a one punch knockout completely cold ko so i guess thats why its so famous, it can also be the fact that a lot of people think walcott was almost killed by just 1 punch and its rockys famous suzie q

@TopClassFighter2 Look at the precision and skill in that hit.
Rocky Marciano new EXACTLY how to take someone down. Notice in this clip how he derides Walcott's attention, and then hits him opposite to Walcott's direction of movement.

@Nanaman12345 i'm with you i don't disagree but why do people say it was a one punch knockout he threw in an extra punch

@TopClassFighter2 walcott was obviously out on the first one, the second one wasnt necessary, and it was barely anything comparing to the first one, he only added the second one to make sure walcott wouldnt get up and win the fight from there on. this video doesnt show walcott falling from the rope, look at the other videos that show him falling from the rope, he was out cold
jonathanyng 1 year ago
@TopClassFighter2 But that extra punch was AFTER Walcott was on the ground.
Nanaman12345 1 year ago
If thats not a fall i dont know what is,
Dominate the hole fight to get hit from a punch from a mile off.
Looks prety dodgy to me.

Aybody who thinks the lwft had any impact on the outcome of the fight is silly. There was no way in HELL Walcott was getting up from that copunt. The ref could have counetd to 100 and Jersey Joe wouldn't have gotten up. Even if he had he'd be so injured there'd be no way he could hold Rocky off and he would only delay his eventual KO. The left was a mere tap compared to that dynamite right.
