What was Marciano's best performance?

This is actually a question not for us Rocky fans, whoever we are, but actually for the Marciano-detractors who make a few good arguments which I will admit does add some questions into the Marciano which cause some curiosity or even doubt some times.

Even the Marciano detractors must find a performance which they would consider to be Marcinao's finest effort. Just wondering what that would be in the eyes of others.

I personally feel he really worked his ass off more than ever against Walcott in their first fight, I used to be and still am awed at the punishment Frazier took against Ali and kept comin', but clearly Walcott was a harder more jolting puncher than Ali, and he really jolted the lights out of Rocky for 12 round there. What an effort by Marciano of will and determination to win. Some body shots in the 6th and 10th rounds that Jersey Joe landed would have made most modern fighters quit. Seriously, watch the tape.

You could argue that Marciano had already peaked out by the time he fought Jersey Joe, I would put his life and death struggle with Carmine Vingo or his battering of highly rated contender Rex Layne up there as two better performances by him to be honest. Everyone has heard of the title fight against Walcott, but that doesnt mean it was his best performance (ie Ali versus Foreman or Ali versus Cleveland Williams!!)

Beating Jersey Joe the second time.

How ould you rate Rocky's performance against Ezzard Charles?

Considering the blood, AMAZING. Losing that amount of blood as surely got to have been weakening him and if it was to happen today the fight would have been stopped. Charles must have had razor blades in his gloves to cut Rocky like that.
