    ahh, is it the baseball connection? How he threw shots like he was pitching? making him less conventional to defend against?

    Good to see you're not impatient, G. Glad you don't have your finger on the nuclear trigger.

    Check choklab's earlier post. He's the warmest of all, so far

    I agree its those overhand punches that come almost straight down from over his head. I've seen them thrown in his other fights too. He clubs some of his punches too. Comes down with the side of his hand. Like he's hammering something.

    John Garfield doesn't have anything and he's fapping himself silly over all the attention.

    "Oh sooo close... Anyone else?"

    Fap fap fap. :-(

    People here know differently, BFP. Not my style. You'll realize that when I give the answer.

    When the going got tough, Marciano got tougher?

    Conditioning.
    Marciano could have gone 40 rounds if he needed to.

    I have 2 abilities for Marciano. The ability to be white and that means white people will put on your a pedestal and the ability to be Italian and have the Italian mob control your career.

    You know what would be great? If every single Classic boxing threat wasn't about this overrated bum.

    Against Moore he rarely went to the body. I didn't notice any hooks to the body. Most were heavy short hooks or overhands to the head. He'd follow through with elbows on some of those short hooks, but that might have been because of the camera angle.

    Marciano an "overrated bum", SK? With enough carpet bombing of whites 'n Italians. As a boxing fan, I presume, shame on you for not recognizing what a special fighter Rocky was; and spitefully taking the time to trash him.
