Marciano didn't "nurse" his '0' losses

[brocktonblockbust]

Giving Walcott an immediate rematch after having gotten battered from post to post in the first fight, and being behind on all scorecards 8 rounds to 4, was a brave thing to do.

Next, fighting a 32 year old great Ezzard Charles TWICE, was also gutsy.

Furthermore, fighting LaStarza WHO MANY THOUGHT OUTPOINTED MARCIANO in 1952 took a lot of nerve.

Then fighting a man 30 pounds heavier and 4 years younger, THE BRITISH HW CHAMPION, Don Cockell, was also brave.

Finally, fighting a great man Archie Moore in 1955---- WHO WAS SO "WASHED UP" THAT HE HELD HIS LHW CROWN FOR 8 MORE YEARS!!!---- was a brave choice.

Rocky THE BEAST Marciano.

5 feet 10 inches tall. 184 pounds.

He was a beast and he fought any and all challengers, including black fighters, which is more than can be said for Dempsey and Tunney.

True champ Marciano, true warrior, Cinderella story

Yes Rocky was a FORCE OF WILL.

Best Heavyweight ever in my eyes. Rocky remaining undefeated after some of the fights he had was just impressive.

Trying to find a story with a guy who claimed rocky hit him in a street fight. His lips were numb for a week.
Did Marciano ever spend a night in the slammer? Story was related ...

A Past prime tyson would have destroyed him.

Rocky is not even in my top 5 heavyweights but he is still a great fighter during that corrupt mafia match fixing era.
