Marciano didn't "nurse" his '0' losses

Being undefeated is no reason to be regarded as a great fighter just look at Sven Ottke for an example of that reasoning.

The fact that old Walcott an dropped and gave Rocky so much trouble in their first fight is not a sign of greatness but coming back from the jaws of defeat was.

Having the same trouble with lightheavy Ezzard Charles and old Moore was not a good sign either for a great champion.

Walcott was HW champion at the time, he had a late prime. When he fought Rocky, he was younger than Wladimir Klitschko, and younger than Vitali was for his last several dominating performances.

You know better diets and training regime means boxers today box longer. Walcotts age is equivalent to 50 year old by today's standard.

Master is letting no bullshit get by in this thread!

Sports medicine was unheard of at that time. Many of the guys fighting today would have had very short careers. Marciano had his career in eight years, 1947-1955!
A great fighter and a hell of a man. Fact as Fenster says.

Back in those days, nutrition was actually better than today.

People ate healthy, balanced home-cooked meals with vegetables and fresh meat. I remember when I was a child, many men in their 70s and even 80s were still very physically healthy and active.

Nowadays, people eat too much sugary junk food, and lots of high-sodium fast food.

Rocky didn't give a shit if you were young, old, light in the ass or just plain stupid he'd kick the shit out of you if you got in the ring with him. Like when Hopkins got in the ring with Kovalev or Floyd Patterson fought Pete Rademacher, it's about the money.

@Master

if you only knew what Joe Louis, Archie Moore, Ezzard Charles, and Roland la Starza said about Marciano

I accept he fought the best opposition at the time but I do not think they were fighters at their peak. Rocky title defences and reign as champion was not long enough to be considered a great fighter in anyone top 10.

[brocktonblockbust]

bullshit. 6 title defenses is pretty good.

He was fortunate to fight in a not-so-great era, when the best guys were past their prime.

I don't think he would have been undefeated if he came 10 years later and had to fight the likes of Patterson, Liston or Ali.

What's going on Master? Why are you trying to piss off your most loyal supporter? LOL
