yes I noticed that as well. Amazing actually and yes those two body shots can still be felt today all around the world. Marciano new how to deliver severe punishment of a crippling kind. There are no longer any sharks out there in boxing with that kind of viciousness.

Yes agreed. Max certainly has a "unique" take on these subjects. Yes I love photo #1.

Black and white boxing photos are beautiful.

The picture with Moore you struggle to think that its Marciano who is the heavyweight.

My mate who was a featherweight in those days went to meet him at the airport when he flew in here and for him to say he was shocked at how small he was for a heavyweight is reallly saying something.

The size of the cameras in photo one always amazed me, flash bulbs and all. Man, that takes me back a ways, I actually bought one of those big suckers out of a pawnshop years ago, just to have it. It was a Graflex I think, never used it even once.

Rocky is one fighter I would have loved to meet.

Great pics. Talk about putting your hip into a shot.

Gotta remember that if the Rock fought today he's probably be cutting down to 168 and fighting there.

That picture probably gives a distorted look because of the angle which makes Rocky to be small and Moore huge.

that is true because Rocky has a strange way of contorting his body to make himself very small thanks to Charlie Goldman
