Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

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.Originally Posted by brocktonblockbust

heard from head of Giordano's Bakery (est. 1898 Nutley, NJ) that Rocky's brother told him personally half a pint of blood was lost just from the nose injury between rds. 6 and 8. Youre right, no way that fight continues nowadays.

Retiring at the right time. Because I'm pretty sure Sonny Liston would have whipped him.

Re: What was Marciano's best performance?
from 1953 (Liston's 1st fight) til Marciano retired, Sonny Liston fought opponents with a combined record of 131-77-23. I wouldnt call that great enough competition to be able to deal with the Rock. Then from 1956 til the end of 1958 (Marciano would never have fought beyond Fall 1956/Spring 1957) Sonny Liston's opponents' records were 153-89-12. He didnt fight anybody decent until April 1959 in Cleveland Williams. So if he had fought Marciano say in Spring 1956, he would have had a very poor chance of winning. He wasn't ready to face the Rock, nor was Floyd Patterson.
