49-0 with 43 Knockouts --- never happen again

Once in a while (and it has been a LONG while) I gotta post on Rocky. What a tribute to the sport of Boxing he was.

I think your being a bit kind to him with that stat of 43 KO-S

19 of wins 49 wins were TKOs, 7 by UD and the rest 26)were by KO....still a fearsome record to be fair.....but KO is 7,8, 9, 10

Plus he got lucky, he did not fight a prime Joe Louis, and he left the sport before Liston and Ali came along

Who knows ? He may have beaten them both. But I for one doubt it.

Perhaps not. But you can only beat what's in front of you. I'd love to see him in different eras as there would be some fascinating match-ups.
