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.
Master's logic defies reason, don't bother.
Be quiet Bill, I mean Brock.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
