    Default Marciano didn't "nurse" his '0' losses

    Giving Walcott an immediate rematch after having gotten battered from post to post in the first fight, and being behind on all scorecards 8 rounds to 4, was a brave thing to do.

    Next, fighting a 32 year old great Ezzard Charles TWICE, was also gutsy.

    Furthermore, fighting LaStarza WHO MANY THOUGHT OUTPOINTED MARCIANO in 1952 took a lot of nerve.

    Then fighting a man 30 pounds heavier and 4 years younger, THE BRITISH HW CHAMPION, Don Cockell, was also brave.

    Finally, fighting a great man Archie Moore in 1955---- WHO WAS SO "WASHED UP" THAT HE HELD HIS LHW CROWN FOR 8 MORE YEARS!!!---- was a brave choice.

    Rocky THE BEAST Marciano.

    5 feet 10 inches tall. 184 pounds.

    He was a beast and he fought any and all challengers, including black fighters, which is more than can be said for Dempsey and Tunney.

    True champ Marciano, true warrior, Cinderella story

    Best Heavyweight ever in my eyes. Rocky remaining undefeated after some of the fights he had was just impressive.

    Trying to find a story with a guy who claimed rocky hit him in a street fight. His lips were numb for a week.
    Did Marciano ever spend a night in the slammer? Story was related ...
    All's lost! Everything's going to shit!

    A Past prime tyson would have destroyed him.

    Rocky is not even in my top 5 heavyweights but he is still a great fighter during that corrupt mafia match fixing era.

    Being undefeated is no reason to be regarded as a great fighter just look at Sven Ottke for an example of that reasoning.

    The fact that old Walcott an dropped and gave Rocky so much trouble in their first fight is not a sign of greatness but coming back from the jaws of defeat was.

    Having the same trouble with lightheavy Ezzard Charles and old Moore was not a good sign either for a great champion.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    Walcott was HW champion at the time, he had a late prime. When he fought Rocky, he was younger than Wladimir Klitschko, and younger than Vitali was for his last several dominating performances.

    You know better diets and training regime means boxers today box longer. Walcotts age is equivalent to 50 year old by today's standard.

    Sports medicine was unheard of at that time. Many of the guys fighting today would have had very short careers. Marciano had his career in eight years, 1947-1955!
    A great fighter and a hell of a man. Fact as Fenster says.
