You call yourself a fan? Rocky died 14 years after his last fight, some "break" huh?

[Easy-E]

He wasn't exactly blessed with much physical skill, and he lacked natural ability. But he made up for lack of talent with sheer determination in the gym, obsessive dedication out of the gym, and incredible toughness in the ring.

When you could take a punch like Marciano could, you didn't need talent! You could ****ing wear your opponents away with your durability then knock them over when you see the opening. Marciano had a lot of natural power, and he had amazing stamina that allowed him to punch as hard in the last round as he could in the first round.

well said, well said

are you a fan? how many boxers actually retire? none, there can be 80 yrs old and want to box, boxers never retire in my opinion. they just slow down.

[Easy-E]

it also helped that he didnt
take punched from 250 lb.
heavyweights. he ruled in
a weak era of boxing

right, joe louis, jersey joe walcott, harry matthews, archie moore and ezzard charles were weak fighters
but trevor berbick, carl "truth" williams, james "bonecrusher" smith and michael "im actully a light heavyweight" spinks was probably the most competitive era in boxing...
(sidenote, please do not attempt to add larry holmes to this list and expect anyone to believe that he was legit competition at this point in his career)

by the way, moore was rockys last fight, when he was out of his prime, yet he still knocked moore down 5 times and ko'd him in the ninth. not a strong argument there. also, moore had 131 career knockouts... he wasnt exactly feater fisted.

I've never heard anybody say Marciano was a skilled boxer.

sometimes, a granite chin, and huge power, is all you need.

[RockyMarciano]

so did mike tyson, evander holyfield, oscar de lahoya, etc...they all want to fight...once a boxer always a boxer...oh and calm down a bit man you act like you on steroids or adrenaline or something

There's a difference between "retiring" then coming back 5 years later, but 15? Come on! HE RETIRED
