Marciano fought a 37 year old Joe Louis.......... 37, really? Is that so old? Klits are fighting at 41, 42
Foreman fought til 49, Hopkins 51, Briggs is 46 still fighting, Holyfield was 49, even Mike Tyson was 39 when he fought that big Irish guy in his last fight. How is 37 so ANCIENT?

Marciano fought an "old" Louis who was 37---- not exactly a senior citizen was he. 37.

Rocky fought a 32 year old prime Ezzard Charles, they weighed the same too. Beat him twice. Charles is sometimes ranked in the top 10 or 12 ATG heavyweights even though he was a light heavy.

Rocky fought a 38 year old JJ Wlacott, OK that is getting pretty old, but JJ had Rocky down and out in the 1st round, pounded his lil' ass from pillar to post LITERALLY (WATCH ROUND 1, Rocky shouldve been DEAD after that round).

Archie Moore fought 11 more years after fighting Rocky and retained his LH Crown for years and years to come. Not exactly washed up I'd say..... he blossomed late as a fighter.

Roland LaStarza severely underrated HW fighter, tough as nails, great boxer, great record. Marciano beat hiom twice altho once was questionable on points. (Rock got the nod bcuz he had floored Roland in the fight and them was the rules at the time)

And Don Cockell was no tub of flab, what a chin on that guy, best chin I ever seen, seriously. He took bombs on the chin and didnt even wobble, the announcer was like WHAT THE FUCK IS KEEPING DON COCKELL ON HIS FEET, I WILL NEVER FUCKING KNOW!!!

etc.... and if you think Rex Layne and Harry Kid Matthews were pushovers or slouches, BWAHAHAHA
those were tough sons of bitches those 2 who coulda competed well in any HW era.
