regardless of his brawler style some people look down on......i would say he did well considering he was a small heavyweight......in todays times he would be a middleweight !
Why the dislike for the song? This is one of the most famous songs ever recorded for a sports movie, and for music in general. Even little kids know this song, but you won't ever hear them talking about Thriller or Back in the USSR.
@Rockyfan10060 Nothing personal dude, It's just that this song was SO over done when I was growing up that I just about puke when I hear the first few bars of it now a days. Kind of like stairway to heaven. I love Led Zeppelin but just can't stand to listen to that song anymore because I have heard it 10,000 times now. Like your video though.

Nice tribute. Marciano is, in a way, the greatest heavyweight for me because of how well he overcame his various disadvantages. He turned professional late, was late getting the best training, cut easily, was short and light for his division, and had the least reach of any heavyweight champion in history. Despite that, he made an art of fighting the only way open to him. Talk about making the most out of tough circumstances! He was smart, too. That low crouch of his gave the opposition hell.
I get a grin out of manincognitos assessment of the rock.he obviously never stepped in a ring with a man killer and I doubt with his knowledge of boxing he could even beat an egg..marciano rose to the level of his competition. never a backstep,a low crouch,extremely hard to hit with effective punches,stronger by the round,every punch not only hurts but one sees a flash of light. I won't dignify the crack on roy jones etc beating him. this man is obviously struggling with mental health..
Avec quarante-trois K.O. à son actif, il est le seul champion du monde de cette catégorie à avoir accompli une carrière professionnelle sans aucune défaite
marciano was the greatest!!!! fuck ali , fuck tyson. only marciano fought 49 fights and never lost!!! i can't believe he's never been given the proper recognition!!!
@nicky29031977 Do you know why Marciano never lost? Because he never fought anyone! He fought bums & old legends like Joe Louis & Archie Moore. Archie Moore knocked Rocky down and Moore wasnt even a heavy weight. FUCK ALI? Ali beat some of the most feared boxers to ever walk the plant Earth!!! Im not talking about a 43 year old Joe Louis Im talking about KILLERS FUCKIN BEASTS! Like Sonny Liston, Ernie Shavers, Joe Frazer, & maybe the hardest puncher in boxing histoy the MONSTER known as Forman!!
@KevinDFuller94 marciano didn't need stamina!!! he had a head so hard that he never felt anything. people remmember ali calling himself "THE GREATEST" and so theystuck to calling him that and because of his lip and because he took the piss out of his opponents inside the ring. as for tyson, he was beaten in his prime by an unknown Buster Douglas( who didn't last long) .and neither did tyson after that!!! his "COMEBACK" was against shit boxers and those who weren't shit whipped him!
@nicky29031977 Ok I respect your opinion I dont think he was as great as Ali because he didnt fight the killers Ali fought, but yes Rocky was a great fighter, but had he fought in a different era of better compitition, I could almost guarantee he would not be underfeted.
@nicky29031977 your a fucking prick eho knows nothing again seriously man you need to stop commenting on boxing videos and start commenting on topics to have some knowledge about like.....wanking! hahahhahahahahahahahaha! prick! tyson was great!, one of the top 7 HW in history you little prat!
@jrgniuwer george foreman once said that if all the greatest boxers were put together in the same ring Rocky Marciano would be the only one left standing!! i can only assume you are an african american who really can't accept that in a sport dominated by black people there is a white man who has clearly left his mark!!!
@nicky29031977 you assumed wrong! im a white englishmen, we must have our wires crossed rocky marciano is my favourate HW ever along with tyson , i have marcianos autograph, i paid £360 for it so no im not an african american! just cant understand why your putting other great HW's down so much?
Ali, Forman, Tyson, Holyfield,Lewis, and many many more great heavy weights would beat Rocky. Rocky was tough, and had tons of heart but you can tell by his record 49-0 the man fought nobodies & old out of prime legends. Rocky was 5'11 185 lbs with a 68 inch reach. I love em but if rocky fought a great, in prime heavy weight he would surely lose. and if he fought guys like Earnie Shavers , Mike Tyson, George Forman, ect he would gte sladered.
I don't think he would the rock has been knocked down but never knocked out in his pro career ali wouldn't of been able to knock him out he would prob beat him via decision. Tyson would of been KO'D rocky had better stamina and wasn't jacked up on GH and roids he would of KO'D foreman foreman wouldn't of been able to get a shot on marciano it wasn't marciano's fault that there wasn't nobody around in his era to beat him cus he was so great and had a lot of heart
@pornpan96isGay Rocky KO Forman??? Get real Rocky Marciano is so overrated. Rocky was knocked down by Archie Moore, who wasnt even a heavy weight Tyson was a raw combination of speed & BRUTAL 1 PUNCH KO Power. Marciano was a slow starter. It always took him a couple of rounds to warm up, shown is his fights with Moore, Walcott, & many more of his fights. Tyson on the other hand came out in in the fist round like a bat out of HELL!!! Tyson has 44 KO's. Rocky has 49 wins over bums & old legends.
@KevinDFuller94Rocky KO's Foreman and tyson marciano was a great boxer and had the hardest punch out of any heavyweight and you shouldn't call joe louis a bum cus he was and still is a legend in my opinion. Tyson fought nobody's trevor berbick was a nobody holyfield is a nobody marciano fought a lot tougher people in his day and he paved the way to greats such as ali, frazier, and foreman even tyson you need to learn respect for the brockton blockbuster cus wheather you like it or not
@pornpan96isGay Marciano wasn't shit, he was a lightweight fighter and Ali, Frazier and Tyson would have destroyed this piece of shit. I don't dare think what a Joe Louis in his prime would have done to this mice of a man. If you believe I am a racist because I don't agree with your fantasy about Marciano then you are a nitwit who truly believes Marciano could have either defeatedn Ali, Frazier, Tyson and Louis all in their prime, what a dumb fuck you are...
you know nothing stick to ur basketball or netball depends on how dumb you are to tell the difference loland yest marciano would of beat any black boxer ur just racist you can't stand the fact that he was undefeated and beat ur precious joe louis awwww are you gonna go cry to ur mummy awww did umbs
@pornpan96isGay tevor berbick and evander holyfield were nothing???????????????? hahahahahaha your comments get better you really are a complete cunt arnt you? holyfield is one of the greats you penis undisputed aruiserweight champion then went on to win the HW title 3 times!.......PRICK!!!!!!!!!!
@KevinDFuller94 shut up u prick, so what he got knocked down by moore....he never got knocked out!!!, you twat, you better fucking show marciano some respect you little mug, what have you done in your time??????? nothing probably thats why people like you have to put down others because you aint done shit apart from played with your little maggot over the slut that lives next door to you! hahahahaha
@jrgniuwer Fuck you and everything you stand for. I do respect Marciano, but I think he is very overrated & the whole 49-0 thing proves it. I have a right to my opinion so fuck you, you poor excuse for a human being.
@KevinDFuller94 in marcianos era he was the greatest and was unbeatable, people cant compare eras becuase if marciano was in alis era he would of trained differently probably woulda put on more muscle as heavyweights were getting bigger and wieght training alot more so he would of adapted but for his time he was the best, floyd mayweather is similar to rocky, undeafeted but hasnt really fought anyone in there absolute prime, de la hoya wasnt in his prime but still was a very close desicion
a very small heavyweight by todays standards but he could hit with the best......u can tell that he got alot of his punching power from his strong forearms, looks like popeye !
@ronnied828 He would be classed as a cruiserweight now, but he would have been able to put the weight on easily enough if he abided by current classifications. Right about the massive forearms. But the other guy was right about the punching power, the momentum of the power starts with your back foot pushing out behind you.<<if you look at his stance when he lands his haymakers.Other than that its mostly your deltoids and upper and lower torso because they provide a stable base.
Marciano announced his retirement on April 27, 1956 “{Undefeated!!}”..49-0/ 43 by KOs, No other Heavyweight Boxer in History Have manage to accomplish this Fee, And that Includes Ali, Hollyfield, Tyson and, even the fictitious “Rocky Balboa”
This is a Historical Fact He Still The Best Ever, until his record is Broken!!!
thanks to everyone who has watched, commented and liked this video, can you please check out my jake lamotta hurt video. Jake and marciano are both my favorite fighters and i hope you like my other videos.
Actually visited his tomb in Ft. Lauderdale not too long ago and payed my respects..Might swing by tonight for the anniversary and give him a present!! Nice video..
one other thing... many of you watch the flash of a fighter like an Ali and believe bigger is better?? maybe in other sports but not boxing ! the real test of the old timers was the "mental toughness" which very few today have. frazier,duran to name just two. let me refer you to a book at your local library entitled "the arc of boxing" by mike silver. excellent reading and will offer 30 top trainers take on fighters today vs yesteryear... j. genovese,mentor ohio
I can assure you not only did rocky marciano have a defense and was hard to hit but also retired every fighter he ever fought...for one that has never been in a ring with someone of that caliber, it is hard to understand how difficult it would be to stay away for 15 rds with a man that gets stronger every round, hurts you with every punch, rises to the level of the opponent and takes the life out of you after every round.
@THOMASBANTON wrong! That was an amateur fight against Coley Wallace and Marciano actually beat him, but because Wallace was the reigning Golden gloves champ at the time, the refs were partial to him and rewarded him with the win!
@MO/ Rocky always believed he was cheated vs the 17-0, (17KOs), Wallace, & the angry crowd apparently agreed with him. But Rocky did legitimately lose 3 other amateur bouts 1/ vs Henry Lester, DQ, (due to inexperience & lack of conditioning). 2/ vs Joe DeAngelis, UD,(due to a dislocated knuckle). 3/ vs Bob Girard,UD,(due to another hand injury).
@t8mer dude if fat ass tony galento and other nameless fools could drop louis rocky would tear his head off. louis' chin was weak he was down 10 times total. I see rocky, about round 10-11, bleeding and swollen, ktfo joe louis. RIP Louis and Marciano.
george foreman would kill,murder,rape rocky in 2 rounds, simply like that, old foreman 88-91 would destroy rocky. simply like that, joe frazier would win rocky, holyfield,holmes,vitali klitschko,lewis,genne toney, jim corbett, they would win rocky any day in the week, bowe,dempsey,jonhson,sulivan,prime joe louis,tyson might win rocky 100% ali would shit in the face of rocky
Rocky Marciano was a great person; he was never defeated in the boxing ring as a professional. One can come-up with many reasons for that. However, what can you take away from 49-0? Nothing! This guy was probably the toughest man to ever step in a boxing ring. Watch some film on him. He was clumsy but in impeccable shape and may have hit harder (pound for pound) than any fighter in history. He usually fought at about 185 lbs. He fought some men as big as Mike Tyson. He had 43 knock outs. WOW!!!
@zenknown Yep, just like Tyson....only Tyson fought older guys compared to Rocky. But Tyson fought who they put in front of him in one of the worst periods of boxing as far as talent was concerned. Rocky, also, fought who they put in front of him. Unlike Tyson though.....even in a time when the competition wasn't there...you had a guy who would get up and win. Marciano was one tough man. 49-0! Laid out 37 year Louis like Tyson laid out 38 year old Holmes. Tyson wouldn't have if Holmes were 25.
@triggert531 marciano aside...Tyson ALWAYS koes Holmes in his prime. Even remembering what a fine boxer Larry was. The head movement and quickness and punching power just make that Tyson too strong. I love Marciano BUT a good 60's contender(boxer) ALWAYS BEATS The Rock.
@ManlnCognito tyson was good for about 6 rounds, maybe. He was not the type of fighter who possessed the stamina to endure the long haul in a tough battle. Rocky was. It doesn't matter, though...blacks will never accept Rocky's greatness. Who cares??
@kenzo5716 I agree with what you say about Tyson, And I respect Maciano for his all action style and stamina. But I just think he was to small to cut it with many of the more recant heavyweights; say from Liston onwards.
@ManlnCognito Rocky was the "little big man". Size meant nothing to him. As a matter of fact, the bigger the heavyweight the harder time they had dealing with Rocky's style. He was a tremendous puncher with either hand and had a very awkward style. He was virtually impervious to pain and didn't know the meaning of defeat. Liston was a very good fighter and could have fought Rocky, but I'm sure Liston's handlers would rather wait for Rocky to retire rather than risk putting Liston in with him.
@kenzo5716 Rocky actually fought very few fighters over 200 lbs. He was 5.11 and 185 lbs He was of pretty average size for his era. If he was around today he wouldn't even be an heavyweight. he might have made a good cruiserweight if he tightened up his defence. Boxing has evolved since he was around. fighters today aren't prepared to get hit like in his day
@ManlnCognito If he was around today the only reason he would not be heavy weight is because he would be too smart to take steroids. Marciano was the best pure, natural fighter. Also, fighters today lift weights and Marciano was advised against that!
@MORCOPOLO0817 Rocky Marciano was to small to crude. He had no Jab, no defence and wouldn't get past the first with any of the heavyweight champions from Liston onwards.
Slick boxers like Ali, Holmes and Lewis would have just played with him. Against bigger sluggers like George Foreman or Tyson, I think Marciano's life could have been in danger.
@MORCOPOLO0817 Is it a Myth that a 5 ft 10 185 lb fighter who's only fight plan was to come forward with virtually no defence, could bulldoze a guy like George Forman who weighed in at 240 lbs and hit like a mule.
The bell would ring, they would both come out slugging and with his first punch big George would knock Rocky into the middle of next week.
@ManlnCognito The myth is that he had no defence. Don't be fooled just because it was all in black and white! Truth be told Ali had no great defence and that became evident as he aged and his reflexes slowed down because he was all speed and no defence. A guy like Marciano does not survive 13 thundering rounds against the likes of Walcott with no defence. If anything, his defence was superior in it's deceptiveness. Many times he was pointed against when he never got hit!
@ManlnCognito Well, now I know that I can write you off as insignificant. Because only insignificant people resort to personal attacks in blog debates!
@Rockyfan10060 I've watched that video before, and saw the same shoulder blocking and head movement from sixteen year old armatures. If that video is your proof that Rocky Marciano had a defence then I'm sorry but you've failed.
Boxing has evolved from the days of Rocky Marciano and other fighters of his era.
Joe louis, Archie Moore, and Walcott all said Rocky was very hard to hit with a clean shot, and they were all accurate knockout artists. Archie Moore has had twice as many knockouts as Foreman has had fights and he still found it difficult to hit Rocky. Sorry dude, but YOU have failed. Rocky does have defense. That's common knowledge but I guess some people just can't see it. What are "armatures"? by the way?
@Rockyfan10060 armatures..or amateurs are people who are just learning the sport. but they still had more of a defence than Rocky Marciano.
Forget the greats of the heavyweight division, Roy Jones, Virgil Hill and Michael Spinks would have beat Marciano. The guy was crude and often off balance, easy to hit, no jab, crap defence and one dimensional...the most over rated fighter of all time
Michael Spinks? No defense? Easy to hit? Joe Louis and Archie Moore disagree. As does Bert Sugar who has Marciano number 7 on his top 10 list, Nat Fleishcer who has Rocky at number 10 on his list, Muhammad Ali who says Rocky would give him his toughest fight. So unless you think you know more than them, I think you should reconsider.
@Rockyfan10060 Some fighters and so called boxing experts like to show old school boxers respect. And often look back at the "good old days" with nostalgia. Me I put emotion aside, watch their fights look at their opponents, their strengths and weaknesses and I don't rate Marciano.
Good for his era, but today he'd make a good sparring partner for some up and coming cruiser or light heavyweight but nothing more. There's no way he'd beat David Haye
So I guess you know more than bert Sugar and Nat Fleischer, creator of Ring magazine? Obviosuly they aren't giving Rocky special treatment. he usually ranks lower on the top 10 lists, but I'l take their word over your's anyday. You can't just write off their opinions as "Oh they're just being nice" None of the writers Imention gave any special treatment to Marciano compared to other heavyweights.. They know more than you and have been around boxing their whole life.
@Rockyfan10060 You can listen to who you like..every one is entitled to their opinion. but I don't think people like Bert Sugar or Nat Fleischer's opinion should be taken as gospel either.
Marciano was good for his time but would last two minutes today.
Yeah right dude. So you know more than them? Apparently your smarter than them? I'm not taking it for Gospel, but there's not doubt in my mind they know more than you. and I'm taking their opinions on things. Almsot every top 10 list from any historian I've ever read has Rocky in it somewhere, so your wrong.
@Rockyfan10060 Who is right is a matter of opinion, I've had 14 amateur fights, I trained for over ten years and sparred hundreds of rounds. I've been watching boxing for over twenty five years. I've watched countless world champions fight live, including Tyson, Hatton and the Pacman...so why should I change my opinion just because some boxing writers and you disagree with me.
Quoting other people doesn't prove anything, think for yourself
I'm not telliung you to changeyour opinion. But if Everybody I've read about rates Rocky as a great, and I can see it for myself, why wouldn't he be great?
@Rockyfan10060 Rocky was great...FOR HIS ERA. But if you could get in a time machine and get all the greats together in their primes, I don't think Rocky could beat the heavyweight champ's from Liston onwards because he was TO SMALL.
I'm 6 ft and 200 lbs..I'm bigger than Rocky. I've met Lennox Lewis up close; got his autograph and shook his hand and the guy dwarfed me. Boxing has evolved since the 50's, fighters are better defensively, train differently and the Heavyweights are huge
I believe Rocky was great for any era. Whether you believe it or not, doesn't really imapct me. Size has nothing to do with natural punching power. You know that computer fight with Ali and Marciano? Marciano hurt Ali so bad in sparring Ali needed help out of bed the next day., Rocky had been retired for 15 years and was 45. Rocky also put 6'4 220 pound Carmine Vingo into the hospital in a coma and ended his boxing career. And he broke Lastarza's arms as he tried to block.
A guy can be 6.4 ft and be a bum. A good big one will always beat a good small one. Size has everything to do with punching power, that is why we have different weight divisions. At 185 lbs Rocky wouldn't even be a heavyweight today. The cruiserweight limit is 210; he'd even be to small for that.
I can see you are one of these closed minded obsessive fans. And I know you wont change your mind so I'm done here. but get real, the guy was to small, crude and one dimensional
Once agin, I'll take the words of others over your own. They ckearly know more than you. I mean, David Haye beating marciano? Need I say more? No way. This is pointless to argue.
@Rockyfan10060 Take the word of who you like. 6.3 ft 215 lbs David Haye would beat Marciano.
Rocky Marciano had no jab or defence. Was often off balance and only had one predictable game plan....And was to small...and I don't care who doesn't agree with me
Oh my god dude, are you still going on about "no defense"? Rocky had defense. Everybody sai it was hard to hit him. The crappy film footage makes this difficult to see but he has defense. Oherwise, Walcott and Louis wouldn't have said it was so hard to hit him. You say from outside the ring that he ahd no defense, the people INSIDE the ring with him say he ahd plenty. Once again, they know mroe on Rocky than you do. That's not debateable.
@Rockyfan10060 And once again you are going by what you claim other people have said. Are you not capable of watching film of him and making your own mind up? I have watched many of Rocky's fights on old VHS tapes and I see a tough hard hitting (for his time) guy with a poor defence and no jab. he fought from a crouched position and to me looked crude
@Bucketheadhead Thats proberbly the best comment `I`ve heard on this man - me been saying it for years - and those that THINK that they know boxing follow like sheep saying Marciano was the best.
Rocky Marciano and Joe Louis are the two best boxers in history. They'd be ranked #1 boxers because I can't see one being better then the other. Maybe Rocky being better, but they were with out a doubt the two best boxers in history, and still are.
Great Video! Marciano,had no real physical advantanges over any heavyweight he fought.However he had more heart then any of them.That's what made him great and UNDEFEATED!
Back in those time, they didn't have the tecnology of this times, the food sours , they were really animals. Rocky, had a gift of god, he was the best, and he still his, il migliore di tutti
He is the greatest of all-time: stronger willed and a harder puncher than Ali; fought better talent than Tyson. His size was his only limitation, as he'd be a Cruiser by today's standards.
mans man fighters like marciano, frazier,tyson and max baer burned out early because of their styles.rocky trained like an animal and sustained back and managerial problems. he did the right thing by retiring.he had nothing left to prove.patterson was still a lightheavy and liston was just starting out and not yet rated..
@reg5381very true! I was just having that argument with somene who was saying that rocky retired to avoid fighting them lol. when rocky retired liston was still years away from a title shot and floyde was new to the division so its not like either was gonna get a title shot anytime soon.
@reg5381 if you look at the video rock vs iron (marciano vs tyson) youll see my arguments with jimmynamblee. lol, seems there are alot of people that just have no respect for rockys accomplishments and try to cheapen it.
Great fighter, a real tank of a brawler. Marciano was a an iron man of boxing and demands to be respected. He could punch you so hard your house would explode.
mi hermano era silvestre stallon el famoso pero mi padre y mi madre se separaron y silvestre se fue con mi mpadre ellos estan en america nosotros en españa por eso se español pero os digo que mi hermano es fuerte iso una pelicula Rocky no se si aveys visto la pelicula mi hermano es el mejorrrrr silvestre stallon yo me llamo ectory stallone
@suspekt29 He was good but If he didnt retire so fast we could have seen how he would have handle a new generation of fighters ali liston etc..............
@Whiran why did you waste your time posting that racist shit? He is the only undefeated man to retire heavyweight champion. It doesn't matter what color he was or what color the person telling you about it is. Personally I like Archie Moore better who fought well beyond his years and put rocky on his ass for only one of 2 times in his career.
p4p he could stand up to today's competition -- brain-damaging power, plenty of head movement, punched at weird angles and hit people in the biceps/forearms until you couldn't hold your guard in later rounds. Klitschko's simply too large for him to get in range against. He'd have to be in a lighter weight classification.
tough as nails.never looked like a flashy fighter but he was an effective one.2:15 sais it all.

Nice tribute. Marciano is, in a way, the greatest heavyweight for me because of how well he overcame his various disadvantages. He turned professional late, was late getting the best training, cut easily, was short and light for his division, and had the least reach of any heavyweight champion in history. Despite that, he made an art of fighting the only way open to him. Talk about making the most out of tough circumstances! He was smart, too. That low crouch of his gave the opposition hell.

I get a grin out of manincognitos assessment of the rock.he obviously never stepped in a ring with a man killer and I doubt with his knowledge of boxing he could even beat an egg..marciano rose to the level of his competition. never a backstep,a low crouch,extremely hard to hit with effective punches,stronger by the round,every punch not only hurts but one sees a flash of light. I won't dignify the crack on roy jones etc beating him. this man is obviously struggling with mental health..

@nicky29031977 Do you know why Marciano never lost? Because he never fought anyone! He fought bums & old legends like Joe Louis & Archie Moore. Archie Moore knocked Rocky down and Moore wasnt even a heavy weight. FUCK ALI? Ali beat some of the most feared boxers to ever walk the plant Earth!!! Im not talking about a 43 year old Joe Louis Im talking about KILLERS FUCKIN BEASTS! Like Sonny Liston, Ernie Shavers, Joe Frazer, & maybe the hardest puncher in boxing histoy the MONSTER known as Forman!!

@KevinDFuller94 marciano didn't need stamina!!! he had a head so hard that he never felt anything. people remmember ali calling himself "THE GREATEST" and so theystuck to calling him that and because of his lip and because he took the piss out of his opponents inside the ring. as for tyson, he was beaten in his prime by an unknown Buster Douglas( who didn't last long) .and neither did tyson after that!!! his "COMEBACK" was against shit boxers and those who weren't shit whipped him!
nicky29031977 1 year ago
@nicky29031977 Ok I respect your opinion I dont think he was as great as Ali because he didnt fight the killers Ali fought, but yes Rocky was a great fighter, but had he fought in a different era of better compitition, I could almost guarantee he would not be underfeted.

Ali, Forman, Tyson, Holyfield,Lewis, and many many more great heavy weights would beat Rocky. Rocky was tough, and had tons of heart but you can tell by his record 49-0 the man fought nobodies & old out of prime legends. Rocky was 5'11 185 lbs with a 68 inch reach. I love em but if rocky fought a great, in prime heavy weight he would surely lose. and if he fought guys like Earnie Shavers , Mike Tyson, George Forman, ect he would gte sladered.

I don't think he would the rock has been knocked down but never knocked out in his pro career ali wouldn't of been able to knock him out he would prob beat him via decision.

@pornpan96isGay Rocky KO Forman??? Get real Rocky Marciano is so overrated. Rocky was knocked down by Archie Moore, who wasnt even a heavy weight Tyson was a raw combination of speed & BRUTAL 1 PUNCH KO Power. Marciano was a slow starter. It always took him a couple of rounds to warm up, shown is his fights with Moore, Walcott, & many more of his fights. Tyson on the other hand came out in in the fist round like a bat out of HELL!!! Tyson has 44 KO's. Rocky has 49 wins over bums & old legends.

@KevinDFuller94Rocky KO's Foreman and tyson marciano was a great boxer and had the hardest punch out of any heavyweight and you shouldn't call joe louis a bum cus he was and still is a legend in my opinion.

@KevinDFuller94 in marcianos era he was the greatest and was unbeatable, people cant compare eras becuase if marciano was in alis era he would of trained differently probably woulda put on more muscle as heavyweights were getting bigger and wieght training alot more so he would of adapted but for his time he was the best, floyd mayweather is similar to rocky, undeafeted but hasnt really fought anyone in there absolute prime, de la hoya wasnt in his prime but still was a very close desicion

@ronnied828 He would be classed as a cruiserweight now, but he would have been able to put the weight on easily enough if he abided by current classifications. Right about the massive forearms. But the other guy was right about the punching power, the momentum of the power starts with your back foot pushing out behind you.<<if you look at his stance when he lands his haymakers.Other than that its mostly your deltoids and upper and lower torso because they provide a stable base.

I can assure you not only did rocky marciano have a defense and was hard to hit but also retired every fighter he ever fought...for one that has never been in a ring with someone of that caliber, it is hard to understand how difficult it would be to stay away for 15 rds with a man that gets stronger every round, hurts you with every punch, rises to the level of the opponent and takes the life out of you after every round.

Rocky Marciano was a great person; he was never defeated in the boxing ring as a professional. One can come-up with many reasons for that. However, what can you take away from 49-0? Nothing! This guy was probably the toughest man to ever step in a boxing ring. Watch some film on him. He was clumsy but in impeccable shape and may have hit harder (pound for pound) than any fighter in history. He usually fought at about 185 lbs. He fought some men as big as Mike Tyson. He had 43 knock outs. WOW!!!

@zenknown Yep, just like Tyson....only Tyson fought older guys compared to Rocky. But Tyson fought who they put in front of him in one of the worst periods of boxing as far as talent was concerned. Rocky, also, fought who they put in front of him. Unlike Tyson though.....even in a time when the competition wasn't there...you had a guy who would get up and win. Marciano was one tough man. 49-0! Laid out 37 year Louis like Tyson laid out 38 year old Holmes. Tyson wouldn't have if Holmes were 25.
triggert531 1 year ago
@triggert531 marciano aside...Tyson ALWAYS koes Holmes in his prime. Even remembering what a fine boxer Larry was. The head movement and quickness and punching power just make that Tyson too strong. I love Marciano BUT a good 60's contender(boxer) ALWAYS BEATS The Rock.

kenzo5716 1 year ago
@kenzo5716 I agree with what you say about Tyson, And I respect Maciano for his all action style and stamina. But I just think he was to small to cut it with many of the more recant heavyweights; say from Liston onwards.
ManlnCognito 1 year ago
@ManlnCognito Rocky was the "little big man". Size meant nothing to him. As a matter of fact, the bigger the heavyweight the harder time they had dealing with Rocky's style. He was a tremendous puncher with either hand and had a very awkward style. He was virtually impervious to pain and didn't know the meaning of defeat. Liston was a very good fighter and could have fought Rocky, but I'm sure Liston's handlers would rather wait for Rocky to retire rather than risk putting Liston in with him.
kenzo5716 1 year ago
@kenzo5716 Rocky actually fought very few fighters over 200 lbs. He was 5.11 and 185 lbs He was of pretty average size for his era. If he was around today he wouldn't even be an heavyweight. he might have made a good cruiserweight if he tightened up his defence. Boxing has evolved since he was around. fighters today aren't prepared to get hit like in his day

The bell would ring, they would both come out slugging and with his first punch big George would knock Rocky into the middle of next week.
ManlnCognito 1 year ago
@ManlnCognito The myth is that he had no defence. Don't be fooled just because it was all in black and white! Truth be told Ali had no great defence and that became evident as he aged and his reflexes slowed down because he was all speed and no defence. A guy like Marciano does not survive 13 thundering rounds against the likes of Walcott with no defence. If anything, his defence was superior in it's deceptiveness. Many times he was pointed against when he never got hit!

Boxing has evolved from the days of Rocky Marciano and other fighters of his era.
ManlnCognito 1 year ago
Joe louis, Archie Moore, and Walcott all said Rocky was very hard to hit with a clean shot, and they were all accurate knockout artists. Archie Moore has had twice as many knockouts as Foreman has had fights and he still found it difficult to hit Rocky. Sorry dude, but YOU have failed. Rocky does have defense. That's common knowledge but I guess some people just can't see it. What are "armatures"? by the way?
Rockyfan10060 1 year ago
@Rockyfan10060 armatures..or amateurs are people who are just learning the sport. but they still had more of a defence than Rocky Marciano.
Forget the greats of the heavyweight division, Roy Jones, Virgil Hill and Michael Spinks would have beat Marciano. The guy was crude and often off balance, easy to hit, no jab, crap defence and one dimensional...the most over rated fighter of all time
ManlnCognito 1 year ago
Michael Spinks? No defense? Easy to hit? Joe Louis and Archie Moore disagree. As does Bert Sugar who has Marciano number 7 on his top 10 list, Nat Fleishcer who has Rocky at number 10 on his list, Muhammad Ali who says Rocky would give him his toughest fight. So unless you think you know more than them, I think you should reconsider.
Rockyfan10060 1 year ago
@Rockyfan10060 Some fighters and so called boxing experts like to show old school boxers respect. And often look back at the "good old days" with nostalgia. Me I put emotion aside, watch their fights look at their opponents, their strengths and weaknesses and I don't rate Marciano.
Good for his era, but today he'd make a good sparring partner for some up and coming cruiser or light heavyweight but nothing more. There's no way he'd beat David Haye
ManlnCognito 1 year ago
So I guess you know more than bert Sugar and Nat Fleischer, creator of Ring magazine? Obviosuly they aren't giving Rocky special treatment. he usually ranks lower on the top 10 lists, but I'l take their word over your's anyday. You can't just write off their opinions as "Oh they're just being nice" None of the writers Imention gave any special treatment to Marciano compared to other heavyweights.. They know more than you and have been around boxing their whole life.

@Rockyfan10060 You can listen to who you like..every one is entitled to their opinion. but I don't think people like Bert Sugar or Nat Fleischer's opinion should be taken as gospel either.

@Rockyfan10060 Rocky was great...FOR HIS ERA. But if you could get in a time machine and get all the greats together in their primes, I don't think Rocky could beat the heavyweight champ's from Liston onwards because he was TO SMALL.
I'm 6 ft and 200 lbs..I'm bigger than Rocky. I've met Lennox Lewis up close; got his autograph and shook his hand and the guy dwarfed me. Boxing has evolved since the 50's, fighters are better defensively, train differently and the Heavyweights are huge
ManlnCognito 1 year ago
I believe Rocky was great for any era. Whether you believe it or not, doesn't really imapct me. Size has nothing to do with natural punching power. You know that computer fight with Ali and Marciano? Marciano hurt Ali so bad in sparring Ali needed help out of bed the next day., Rocky had been retired for 15 years and was 45. Rocky also put 6'4 220 pound Carmine Vingo into the hospital in a coma and ended his boxing career. And he broke Lastarza's arms as he tried to block.
Rockyfan10060 1 year ago
A guy can be 6.4 ft and be a bum. A good big one will always beat a good small one. Size has everything to do with punching power, that is why we have different weight divisions. At 185 lbs Rocky wouldn't even be a heavyweight today. The cruiserweight limit is 210; he'd even be to small for that.
I can see you are one of these closed minded obsessive fans. And I know you wont change your mind so I'm done here. but get real, the guy was to small, crude and one dimensional

Oh my god dude, are you still going on about "no defense"? Rocky had defense. Everybody sai it was hard to hit him. The crappy film footage makes this difficult to see but he has defense. Oherwise, Walcott and Louis wouldn't have said it was so hard to hit him. You say from outside the ring that he ahd no defense, the people INSIDE the ring with him say he ahd plenty. Once again, they know mroe on Rocky than you do. That's not debateable.
Rockyfan10060 1 year ago
@Rockyfan10060 And once again you are going by what you claim other people have said. Are you not capable of watching film of him and making your own mind up?

mans man fighters like marciano, frazier,tyson and max baer burned out early because of their styles.rocky trained like an animal and sustained back and managerial problems. he did the right thing by retiring.he had nothing left to prove.patterson was still a lightheavy and liston was just starting out and not yet rated..

@reg5381very true! I was just having that argument with somene who was saying that rocky retired to avoid fighting them lol. when rocky retired liston was still years away from a title shot and floyde was new to the division so its not like either was gonna get a title shot anytime soon.

@reg5381 if you look at the video rock vs iron (marciano vs tyson) youll see my arguments with jimmynamblee. lol, seems there are alot of people that just have no respect for rockys accomplishments and try to cheapen it.

Great fighter, a real tank of a brawler. Marciano was a an iron man of boxing and demands to be respected. He could punch you so hard your house would explode.

@Whiran why did you waste your time posting that racist shit? He is the only undefeated man to retire heavyweight champion. It doesn't matter what color he was or what color the person telling you about it is. Personally I like Archie Moore better who fought well beyond his years and put rocky on his ass for only one of 2 times in his career.

p4p he could stand up to today's competition -- brain-damaging power, plenty of head movement, punched at weird angles and hit people in the biceps/forearms until you couldn't hold your guard in later rounds. Klitschko's simply too large for him to get in range against. He'd have to be in a lighter weight classification.
