Monzon is right up there too. He looked like raw fighter, but my god he was deceptively good.

Marciano just kept coming and coming and coming breaking you down by hitting every exposed part of your body. Once you arm came down, it was all over. He ruined several fighters by the way he stalked and destroyed them in the ring. Rex Layne and Roland LaStarza (second fight) come to mind and he didn''t do Charles any good. Funny, but the way Ricky came at Paulie reminded me of this. Never let up. Pure relentless.
