Sultan Ibragimov used a passive Marciano inspired defense vs Wladimir Klitschko.....when you bend down at the waist and create that odd angle you can be hard to hit, but Rocky wasn't a great defensive fighter, he maybe catches too much blame but the guy wasn't known for his defense and with his record of 49 wins and 46 KO's of course he's not going ot be known for defense.

It's like saying the Super Bowl Champion Dallas Cowboys teams of the 1990's should be known for their fantastic Special Teams play instead of Aikman, Emmitt Smith, Michael Irvin, et al.
