    he hit like a truck and refused to be hurt, but that is not unusual. what was unusual was everything else. The man was a freak. He put all his eggs into one basket to become what he became. Nobody quite sacrificed like he did, marciano probably had OCD such was his obsession with reaching his goals and it worked for him almost by accident because his awkwardness and unpredictability caught everyone out. He worked on disadvantage until it became an advantage. his disadvantages became advantages by stealth plus he always had his visible advantages to fall back on.

    See if you can run the Leadville 100, and finish it within the 30 hour cut off limit. Marciano was probably tough enough to pull it off.

    Also, remember to fight in a weak era and get knocked down+struggle with what are basically old, bloated Light Heavyweights.

    No, that's accurate. Remember that struggling in your prime is a sign of pride


    of the white variety, otherwise you and everyone else you're fighting is a bum
