    32 is no age to retire, he fought Archie Moore 23 days after his 32nd birthday. He should have taken the winter off, started training in January 1956 and fought Floyd Patterson in March 1956, Nino Valdes quickly afterwards, let's say in July 1956 and then trained for a mega-bout a Gran Finale of his career, with Eddie Machen, Brian London, Sonny Liston or even Zora Folley in October or November 1956.

    This was painful.

    Good point mate. The title should read "3 More Times" striking out the 6 words "Rocky Marciano sucks for not fighting".
