Joe Louis successfully defended his title 25 times, he fought 7 times in one year WHILE CHAMPION OF THE WORLD and won all those fights on stoppage.

If we're looking back in time then we must admit Muhammed Ali wouldn't last in today's division, neither would Frazier, and neither would Foreman.
u got me all wrong--marciano is 1 of my favorites--the purpose of this this thread was stop dissing rocky. the same people never give rocky credit for being undefeated cuz of his opposition r the same people who praise joe louis. the quality opp for louis is the same. so people shouldt praise louis then slam marciano
