Marciano's KO of Walcott

[El Kabong]

One of my favorite KO's of all time! Marciano just never gave up...his nose was split open and he was almost stopped in the 12th if I'm not mistaken.

Walcott was a very cagey, tough fighter.

And still.........Marciano fought old men past past prime.

And still.........Marciano fought old men past past prime. Just aks Joe Louis.

Seriously GOAT, can the homo shit.

This is such a distorted view. Marciano wrecked the division and I defy anyone to find a fight where Walcott was better than he was in the first fight with the Rock. Moore was 175 champ for another seven years after Rocky stopped him.

What's with the gay silliness by the way? You think that adds something here?

Walcott only weighed 12 pounds heavier than rock did in the first fight and 13 pounds heavier in the second fight. 1 inch height advantage and 7 inch wingspan advantage. Vlad gets a hell of a lot more advantage than that in most of his fights.

So what's your point?

That was a brutal KO for sure but Rocky did not have to hit him again, this is not MMA. Rocky was a dirty fighter.

How often is the guy draped over the ropes and unconscious? No real way for Rock to see that.

And yes, Rock was a dirty fighter.

It's a dirty business, and Rocky was no Saint, but I don't believe he ever had a reputation as a dirty fighter. I'd agree that the last little shot on Walcott was late, but I don't think Marciano would have thrown it if he realized Walcott was unconscious, more like a reflex.

Walcott was a very cagey, tough fighter.

The split nose thing happened in his 2nd fight with Ezzard Charles, he came back to KO Charles in the 8th round.

That was the second Ezzard Charles fight. Al Berl gave him one more round. 90 seconds later Charles was counted out.
