Ok now youre gonna get me talkin'... Marciano was 1 of those guys who was blessed and I dont care when he woulda fought, what time period or how old walcott or moore or charles were, Marciano would persevere. He came along to show that to us. There are some people in history like this, though its rare. Power is the last thing lost, right? 1st round Walcott pounds Marciano like a fucking rag doll, jolting shots that make you wither. Fresh 1st round champion Jersey Joe, not even close to breaking a sweat or fatiguing, full force shots, head and body. Rocky took it in stride. as with the next 12 rounds.

OH AND HERE'S ANOTHER ONE: EZZARD CHARLES WAS 32 years YOUNG when he fought Rocky, and had won 48 of his last 53 fights including against Joey Maxim THRICE, Bob Satterfield, Billy Gilliam, Jimmy Bivins THRICE, Rex Layne, Tommy Harrison, Jersey Joe Walcott, Joe Louis, Archie Moore, etc. He had only been knocked out ONCE in his career before fighting Marciano.

So these guys couldnt beat a slow, bald, 2 left feet, uncoordinated shoemaker?
Can't said it better!
