I don't think it's hard at all. He had a lot of tough fights, lost a lot of rounds, and arguably lost the first fight with Roland.

I think he was a great champ and true boxing royalty, but I can't stand when people anoint him the best because he was never beaten, and when they assume he fought all the best competition he could have.
And when I say that, I'm not insinuating Rocky was scared of anyone or ducked anyone personally, but all these guys have handlers and those handlers were paid good money for a reason.
