yeah he did hit quite alot on the back of the head as his oppoonents sought shelter from the barrage of Suzie-Qs raining down and up from all directions. I didnt like when he hit Charles on the back of the head in the final KO barrage in the rematch, though Ezzard was already well buzzed and on his way to getting rocked and rolled anyway.
I also didnt appreciate him hitting Don Cockell whilst he was down, though we have seen Tyson, Foreman, and Lewis do the same, at the very least, but it doesnt make it right.
Marciano was once described by Bert Sugar as "he'll hit any target he can get his hands on: shoulders, elbows, hips, kidneys---ahh hell!! He'd hit ya on the souls of your feet if you let 'im!"
Well I dont appreciate that too much. Though he is my boxing hero.
