He was the gratest at his time! As Mohamed Ali was at his own time, Mike Tyson after and Klitschko's today. Of course is not proper to compare boxers that fighted in different time frames. The hardware of the human body has changed significantly since Marciano was boxing. Today the athletes are much bigger in size and strength. Marciano couldn't even reach Klitschko's today, let alone the fact that he wouldn't cope with the brutal force of Mike Tyson at his prime...
@ProcyonAlpha It's a shame that my friends and a lot of other people think ali was the best. They only think this because ESPN and every other sports channel loves loud mouth black people it's fact. The most recent proof I can think of is when Chad ocho cinco caught one pass in the superbowl and they made a huge deal out it, meanwhile Danny woodhead had a touchdown plus over 50 yards of total offense. I'm not racist it's just a fact of how this country is biased against white athletes.
what an incredibly badass man. I wish i could have seen him live in action. I dont know much in depth information about boxing, but i know a bad man when i see one. And rocky marciano is a bad bad man. But also so gentle and non abrasive outside the ring. Hes like a close family friend or your neighbor who would drive your grandmother to the pharmacy to pick up her prescriptions, then climb into the ring and completley bash a mans face in
it is said Rocky had the punching power of an amor piercing projectile ... he hurt you where ever he made contact ... many of his opponents suffered ruptured blood vessels in their arms and shoulders ... anyone that knows boxing knows Rocky was truly the greatest
People are so quick to say Marciano is overrated. The truth is, he's probably the most underrated boxer of all time. You can't mention his name without some black guy popping up and calling him a bum.
Not only did he punch with lots of power, but was also an expert at slipping past jabs and getting inside his opponents. Very underrated. One of the best HWs of all time.
@crowley0312 Theirs more to being a boxer than just technique is what ALOT of people forget... Jersey Joe Walcott was a better boxer than Marciano ever was a better boxer but he never had anywhere near the same amount of heart and determination or better conditioning you could add as Marciano plus he was also fierce very fierce maybe not the best text book boxer but he has alot of qualities a championship boxer should have but today's era boxers DON'T HAVE!!!
Rocky punched like he had lead shot in his gloves, just these thudding heavy fists that reverberated through his opponents, he's style probably wouldn't work so well nowadays as the sport (and world) has come on so far but he was a real gent and a humble champ, qualities that are sadly rare now. All these years later and never forgotten. R.I.P Rocky.
Rocky marciano put his hands down too much...I think the boxing IQ of modern day boxers is better and more advanced compared to the boxers in the past ..I can just picture Tyson or Lewis taking advantage of Marciano with his hands down like in this fight..I dont know why this dude didnt take advantage of it..just proves how much better boxers are today than boxers in the past. And he was also very slow....seriously...a lot of boxers from the past are really overrated
paulie has skill? ahaha wow could you get any stupider? paulie's faggot ass sucks dick. fagget got exposed by amir khan, cotto and hatton. fagget has 6 knockouts out of 30 wins. you call that skill? i call that garbage.
For all the people who say he couldnt last a round with Tyson, Ali, etc. Are seriously mistaken. This guy was all heart and a piece of Italian- American steel that couldnt be worn down....
@xXanaXBloodXx It wasn't his "slowness" that won his fights. Bert Surgar said it was a combination of style and explosive power that beat his challenger to the canvas. Bert said Rocky could literally throw punches from the ground up. It is said challengers actually had trouble training to fight him. Was Foreman fast? Tyson couldn't deal with Rocky's style and conditioning and Lewis would run like the wind to stay away from him and I doubt he could land a solid punch. IMHO
@gibememoni typical big nose guido. go kill yourself lame, hop off marcianos nuts if he has some. marciano fought out of shape, way out of there prime fighters. hes a bum. mike tyson would kill him.
@gibememoni Yet we have the best lightweights in the world. what guido big nose dick sucking make up putting woman looking italian american boxer do you have today? faggot ass paulie malinaggi? the guy who does his eyebrows so thin that he looks like a female? pff how embarrassing.
No Marciano was not the lightest Heavyweight Champion, I believe it was Tommy Burns 167 lbs but I am just going from memory but I know The Rock was not the smallest ! ! !
@patrizia1usa Bob Fitzsimmons weighed 167 pounds when he won the title stopping James J. Corbett in the 14th round on March 17, 1897. He also weighed 167 pounds when he lost his title against James J. Jeffries.
There are punchers today that hit as hard as any in history past.
As to your question about the Gloves.~The gloves in the Old School were a better tool for the puncher than todays Gloves.
The Old Gloves were stuffed with Horse Hair and could be molded by pushing the hair around inside the glove, to keep the padding from getting in the way.
A falicy is that the padding protects the hands .
Wraps protect hands. Padding protects the opponents face !
@udown24 mmmm what about Jersey Joe Walcott, was he not the champ and Joe Louis was not old when Marciano fought him. So ur saying everyone Rocky fought when he was champion was old and out of shape, you know how retarded that sounds.
@road35 it means he has had 49 wins no draws and no losses only heavy weight boxer to do that in the history of boxing and i think the only boxer in history in any division i think
I truley Respect Marciano as a fighter, not only because he never lost a fight in his career but also because, being a fighter myself, i have the same "disadvantages" he had: I'm not very fast, not very tall ect.... that is why he's the best fighter of all time for me!
@tupactheofrap how can you be the greatest when you only fought old men and bums and retired young and took no risk. he was a great but not no where near the greatest. sugar ray robinson koed more people than marciano beat and won 90 fights before he lost 1
@hatercop2 you see the huge size difference in most of rocky's fights? he was always at a disadvantage. you can't say nothing. titans crushed marciano and yet he not only still stood, he walked out a victor. rocky balboa isn't just a classic boxing movie. it's a pretty cut close follow to marciano's character excluding balboa's back story and his two losses in the movies.
He never as dominant as Dieselnoi sor thanakun . Thailand has a much bigger pool of talent and much higher frequency of fight ( 2 fights a week) and after 4 years he is stripped of his belt by all sanctioning bodies cos they sick of him being champ n eliminating all styles
OH YEA THATS TOO U FOOZ TALKING BOUT BOXING MOVIES!!! WHAT SOMEONE NEEDS TO DO IS MAKE A MOVIE ON SALVADOR "CHAVA" SANCHEZ NOW THAT WOULD BE EPIC.....
@sabbath66 Ali was not sure because he cannot say for sure if he could beat a boxer with 49-0 record, but that does not mean that he could not because they never fought in the ring. The comparison just does not work. As far as style, Rocky is definitely not the best. He has the best record, but that does not have much to do with style. Ali dances, moves, jabs, and hits. Marciano punches hard.
I love Rocky Marciano, despite what most people think, I believe he'd have a good chance against Ali, he's totally made for Ali... He's a true legend. RIP Rocky...
Not one of, he was and still is the best heavyweight champion that ever lived. The only champion to go undefeated. None of the monkeys who won the belt after him can claim that they went undefeated in their careers!!!
We have Ali for Muhammad ali, Raging bull for Jake lamotta, Rocky balboa films for joe frazier, now we need an ultimate one for marciano called " The Brockton Blockbuster"
Tyson doesn't compare to Marciano. He never let the fame get into his head. He never screwed around with training. That's why Rocky is 49-0 and Mike is 50-6--0-2
@Pulgasari1 haha, good point allthough im not saying i dont have huge respect for him i just think against some one with power like tyson or even joe louis in his prime he would have fallen short.
Carmine Vingo did not die from the Marciano fight, he lived for many years afterwards. He was one of the "big" guys Marciano fought-he weighed in at a whopping 189 pounds.
The best of all time. He was far from being a big man for a heavyweight and took on everyone with all of them being physically bigger then him and still noone came close. The best boxer that ever lived
@UserNamei5 Some differences in the ancient grecian boxing, which originated in Sparta around 620 to 600 BC, and ours are that they didnt have a designated ring, there were no time limits or rounds, judges enforced the rules by beating the fighters with whips or rods, there were no weight classes, no holds were allowed but ANY hit with the hand was allowed as long as it was with a closed fist. Comparing their boxing to ours is like comparing our basketball to the aztec's tlachtli!
@UserNamei5 why do you find the need to resort to name calling? In logic and debate there is a term for that, its called Ad Hominem, in other words its character assassination. A fallacy such as that is used when one's argument platform is weak and therefore the person resorts to attempting to make their opponent seem inept rather than being able to attack their opponents platform.
Exactly. Louis was far from his prime - 7 fight win streak, 2 being top 10? His age was an excuse. Rockys durability and stamina and power took over the second half of the fight. But he defeated some great boxers. And also, think about it - it's VERY hard in ANY sport to go undefeated. It takes more than just talent. But mayweather didn't fight much competition like Marciano so it's hard to compare the 2
Joe louis was still a game opponent. Old man? He was only 37 years old and on a 7 fight win streak and K.O'd 2 top 10 boxers before he fought marciano. His record was 66-2 when he fought marciano. He was not washed up like people say he was.
Vitali klitschko is 40 years old and still #1 hw in boxing
@gibememoni Individual boxers age differently. Louis was definetly washed up when he fought Rocky. On the other hand Ezzard and Walcott were still excellent fighters when Rocky beat them. Moore was also in his very long "prime" when he fought Rocky. The Klitschkos are around 40 years old but they are still going strong. Every fighter ages differently. I don't think Rocky would have had a very long "prime". I think he was like Frazier in that regard.
People will always debate as to whether Marciano or Ali was the best boxer ever. Personally, with my very limited and ignorant knowledge (having just got into watching this exciting sport) I would suggest the following, for what it is worth. Marciano was a terrific fighter: undefeated and absolutely lethal. I think Ali would have found it extremely difficult to beat Marciano. But Ali is my favourite boxer, because there was a greater beauty about the way he boxed. Both were brilliant.
@loub72 He's right you are ignorant. Different fighters have faught different boxers... you can't say that if one was beaten and the other wasn't, the one that wasn't was better. To be honest, it's impossible to accurately compare two fighters in terms of who's better unless it's blatantly obvious. Unless you know two top level fighters that have faught the exact same people on their record, there's always a bias. Floyd Mayweather is unbeaten, that doesn't make him better than Sugar Ray IMO.
@gibememoni That's what I'm sayin. Take nothin away from Marciano, I'm sayin it's biased to compare with fighters of a different era. He was unbeaten in his time... when boxing was less complicated sure, but still he ruled that time so you gotta respect.
@UserNamei5 Wrong, Marciano was that good. He would have knocked out any of the boxers you mentioned. There is no defense for you since he never lost a fight. The ones you mentioned have lost more than 1 fight. You can never say he would be beaten because he wasn't. Straight forward and simple.
@UserNamei5 LOL There was no set time limit, they didn't wear gloves they wore himantes, the contest area was unknown so who knows if it was riddled with obstacles, there wasn't any weight divisions, you could hit the person when they were down, etc.. Another thing why are you getting all pissed? Because I don't agree that Marciano would've been beat by the aforementioned boxers?
@UserNamei5 For one Boxing in the ancient Olympics was different from professional Boxing today. Two yes he was that good of a heavy weight. And three Ali, Patterson, and Louis were all beaten. Marciano is the only fighter to never be defeated. If they were better why have they been beaten and Marciano hasn't? Rocky beat Louis. I know he wasn't in his prime but if Louis was better then why didn't he win? In a simulation Marciano beat Ali. I've spoken with people who have seen him fight.
@bennyrodriguez11 I don't believe there is any relation other than the first names. "Rocky" might be extremely loosely based on Marciano but I doubt it.
@bennyrodriguez11 the only relationship between them was that they got the idea for rocky balboa and apollo creed from marciano and ali then made a damn good movie lol
@UserNamei5 You're going way too philosophical with it. Since boxing has been an organized regulated sport there has not been another fighter like Marciano.
@road35 Right it's freakin retarded that there hasn't been. They've made a movie about Ali, Braddock. LaMatta, Graziano, Jack Johnson, Ward, Carter all of which have been defeated. But the one guy in history to not have been beat is rarely even acknowledged. All I hear is Tyson this Ali that. It's a shame.
@road35 Maurciano Has LOSE ! its just everyone trys to forget bout him but by losing he learned and wen he became da best he NEVER LOST AGAIN look it up
He was the gratest at his time! As Mohamed Ali was at his own time, Mike Tyson after and Klitschko's today. Of course is not proper to compare boxers that fighted in different time frames. The hardware of the human body has changed significantly since Marciano was boxing. Today the athletes are much bigger in size and strength.

@slikdiez1 I think it would be more like "Tyson has a little bit of Rocky". I agree, I have seen similarities in their styles

Muhammad Ali Talks About Rocky Marciano*

Ali him self wasnt sure if he could be the rock.. look up Ali on Marciano...
sabbath66 4 months ago in playlist sabbath66's favorites 17
@sabbath66 Ali was not sure because he cannot say for sure if he could beat a boxer with 49-0 record, but that does not mean that he could not because they never fought in the ring. The comparison just does not work. As far as style, Rocky is definitely not the best. He has the best record, but that does not have much to do with style. Ali dances, moves, jabs, and hits. Marciano punches hard.

I love Rocky Marciano, despite what most people think, I believe he'd have a good chance against Ali, he's totally made for Ali... He's a true legend. RIP Rocky...

Not one of, he was and still is the best heavyweight champion that ever lived. The only champion to go undefeated. None of the monkeys who won the belt after him can claim that they went undefeated in their careers!!!

Well heavys were a bit smaller back then. Rocky was 5'10 188lbs, prime tyson was 5'10-5'11 225lbs.
Either way they were both very short heavyweights but packed massive power

Tyson doesn't compare to Marciano. He never let the fame get into his head. He never screwed around with training. That's why Rocky is 49-0 and Mike is 50-6--0-2

@Pulgasari1 haha, good point allthough im not saying i dont have huge respect for him i just think against some one with power like tyson or even joe louis in his prime he would have fallen short.

Carmine Vingo did not die from the Marciano fight, he lived for many years afterwards. He was one of the "big" guys Marciano fought-he weighed in at a whopping 189 pounds.

@UserNamei5 Some differences in the ancient grecian boxing, which originated in Sparta around 620 to 600 BC, and ours are that they didnt have a designated ring, there were no time limits or rounds, judges enforced the rules by beating the fighters with whips or rods, there were no weight classes, no holds were allowed but ANY hit with the hand was allowed as long as it was with a closed fist. Comparing their boxing to ours is like comparing our basketball to the aztec's tlachtli!

@UserNamei5 why do you find the need to resort to name calling? In logic and debate there is a term for that, its called Ad Hominem, in other words its character assassination. A fallacy such as that is used when one's argument platform is weak and therefore the person resorts to attempting to make their opponent seem inept rather than being able to attack their opponents platform.

Rocky Marciano is the best Boxer ever. If you know boxing, you'll know Marciano is the best in the world.

deanjm8989 6 months ago
Exactly. Louis was far from his prime - 7 fight win streak, 2 being top 10? His age was an excuse. Rockys durability and stamina and power took over the second half of the fight. But he defeated some great boxers. And also, think about it - it's VERY hard in ANY sport to go undefeated. It takes more than just talent. But mayweather didn't fight much competition like Marciano so it's hard to compare the 2

Joe louis was still a game opponent. Old man? He was only 37 years old and on a 7 fight win streak and K.O'd 2 top 10 boxers before he fought marciano. His record was 66-2 when he fought marciano. He was not washed up like people say he was.
Vitali klitschko is 40 years old and still #1 hw in boxing
gibememoni 6 months ago
@gibememoni Individual boxers age differently. Louis was definetly washed up when he fought Rocky. On the other hand Ezzard and Walcott were still excellent fighters when Rocky beat them. Moore was also in his very long "prime" when he fought Rocky. The Klitschkos are around 40 years old but they are still going strong. Every fighter ages differently. I don't think Rocky would have had a very long "prime". I think he was like Frazier in that regard.

People will always debate as to whether Marciano or Ali was the best boxer ever. Personally, with my very limited and ignorant knowledge (having just got into watching this exciting sport) I would suggest the following, for what it is worth. Marciano was a terrific fighter: undefeated and absolutely lethal. I think Ali would have found it extremely difficult to beat Marciano. But Ali is my favourite boxer, because there was a greater beauty about the way he boxed. Both were brilliant.

loub72 6 months ago
@loub72 He's right you are ignorant. Different fighters have faught different boxers... you can't say that if one was beaten and the other wasn't, the one that wasn't was better. To be honest, it's impossible to accurately compare two fighters in terms of who's better unless it's blatantly obvious. Unless you know two top level fighters that have faught the exact same people on their record, there's always a bias. Floyd Mayweather is unbeaten, that doesn't make him better than Sugar Ray IMO.

Marcianos unbeaten record is not what made him great. It was his power, his stamina, his durability that made him great.
Records don't mean a damn thing
gibememoni 6 months ago
@gibememoni That's what I'm sayin. Take nothin away from Marciano, I'm sayin it's biased to compare with fighters of a different era. He was unbeaten in his time... when boxing was less complicated sure, but still he ruled that time so you gotta respect.
therealist811 6 months ago
@UserNamei5 Wrong, Marciano was that good. He would have knocked out any of the boxers you mentioned. There is no defense for you since he never lost a fight. The ones you mentioned have lost more than 1 fight. You can never say he would be beaten because he wasn't. Straight forward and simple.

@UserNamei5 LOL There was no set time limit, they didn't wear gloves they wore himantes, the contest area was unknown so who knows if it was riddled with obstacles, there wasn't any weight divisions, you could hit the person when they were down, etc.. Another thing why are you getting all pissed? Because I don't agree that Marciano would've been beat by the aforementioned boxers?

dmoney69696969 6 months ago
@UserNamei5 For one Boxing in the ancient Olympics was different from professional Boxing today. Two yes he was that good of a heavy weight. And three Ali, Patterson, and Louis were all beaten. Marciano is the only fighter to never be defeated. If they were better why have they been beaten and Marciano hasn't? Rocky beat Louis. I know he wasn't in his prime but if Louis was better then why didn't he win? In a simulation Marciano beat Ali. I've spoken with people who have seen him fight.
