    Probably best for him that this fight didn't happen.

    Yeah, and he wasn't even a true 155 in that fight, nevermind the 165 he would need to be to beat Marciano. :lol:


    maybe The Keed was just keedin'

    He is very lucky he was never put in against Marciano. I don't think he'd be able to last 30 seconds.

    The "Keed" would have been "keeled".

    Good thing he lost to Olson then cos i doubt Rocky would show an ounce of restraint on the Keed.
