Very good post CC

Rocky's defense was basically making the other fighter have to lunge to hit him, he'd have his legs basically straight but he'd be bent at the waist, left hand protecting his side and the right hand close to his face...it would be VERY difficult to land on him without having Suzy Q meet you in return



Rocky was 36 when he retired in 1955 after fighting Archie Moore....that being said I could still see him had he come back (which was rumored that he was going to do) beating the likes of Johansen, Patterson, and yes even Sonny Liston.
