Clip of Marciano's Underrated Defense

[Jim Jeffries]

You could make Gatti look like a defensive genious if you took some clips and slowed them down.

C'mon, that's going a little too far.

Anyway, I don't think anyone is arguing that Marciano was a defensive genius, just that he wasn't extremely easy to hit, like most people think.

I always saw Marciano as a guy that just had a "hard to hit quirk" (compared to most sluggers) but wasn't exactly a defensive master.

it don't matter his defense was good enuff to leave him with 0 losses.Ali has no room to talk look at him,his defense doesn't look so good now does it

Ali? At his best he was one of the toughest fighters ever to hit. Of coarse he was hittable after that 3 year absence, and his legs never were the same. As far as the zero losses, Marciano is way over rated because of it. The defense that was pointed out in this video is a natural type of defense that should be expected. You can make anyone look good by picking out all the times they moved their head in time. I still say Tyson would have knocked that ass out in the first round!!!!!
