    Every single fighter --- Joe Louis, Ezzard Charles (twice), Joe Walcott (twice), Archie Moore, Joe LaStarza (twice), Don Cockell (25 years old and UK Heavyweight Champion at 215 pounds), etc. said Marciano "HIT HARDER AND HAD MORE STAMINA THAN ANYONE ELSE IN THOSE DAYS".

    Nobody was beating him, no matter the age.
    You don't mention the ages of the opponents other than Don Cockell, lets have it straight please

    All are under 40 for his title defences.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    I understand @nuggetdotcom point. Nugget Just wasn't aware that it may have been better to say old guys and be vague. He was specific (40). We countered. Next time just say old!
    All's lost! Everything's going to shit!
