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

[beenKOed]

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.

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.

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.

I would not say he was a great fighter but he had great heart.

Frazier bigger, stronger and fitter.

No Chance. Not in a month of Sundays.

Exactly.

Rocky is a Top 15-20 heavyweight and it just goes to show that the big 0 doesn't always mean your the best.

JC was undefeated and would have been a problem for any super middleweight in any era but the same can't be said for rocky.

Mafia made most of rockys fights winnable.

Rocky was champ for 3 years, Mayweather has been champ for 17 years!

"Oh come on now, Master. You know that Cassius Clay would have had a few ~ribs~ cracked early in the fight with Marciano."
