ROCKY Marciano was clearly and simply devastating. Arguably the very BEST ALL TIME Heavy Weight Boxer. I like Ali very much...his attitude and style was all the talk and boxing when I was a Teen.I mean really from 1947-56 Marciano's Record: 49-0 (43 KOs) and The only undefeated heavyweight world champion in history. Renowned for that ferocious punch and awesome dedication and heartheart. Rocky Marciano won his HW championship with a 13th-round knockout of Jersey Joe Walcott - September 1952. … He made six defenses before retiring in 1956. Holy Moses how he's not considered as or near THE BEST I don't get it !?
Even greater than Muhammad Ali and Joe Louis. Nahhh ROCKY was 'THE BEST for many people and I say let them have that because he was extraordinary in his preparation and demonstration of his will to be the Champ'. He had incredible KO power in both hands.
As a child I saw a lot of his fights with my Father. Boxing was a huge deal in my life.
We loved watching the really great and old style Boxers.
Sugar Ray Robinson easily the Greatest All Time Boxer; Muhammed Ali; (Films of Featherweight, lightweight, welterweight Henry Armstrong and Featherweight Willie Pep (what a beauty) and Heavyweights Joe Louis and Jack Dempsey just to name a few of the TOP Ten Greatest).
How about the likes of Lightweight Roberto Duran Damn but until he met up with 'that wrong Guy' in Sugar Ray Leonard he was amazing.
How about amongst the lighter Boxers Julian 'The Hawk' Jackson. That fella had amazing POWER. He was something else again.
