His commentary was awesome here. I like the way he phrases things. His high voice is adorable in a way. [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wCUkqyfUjTU&feature=related[/ame]
What is rarely mentioned by the Marciano fans and fanatics alike is how smart Marciano was .. put aside the blue collar edge and New England accent ... Rocky was very smart in how he thought threw his opponents, fights, career, retirement and it does show in his fight coverage ..
The smartest man who ever lived, with the greatest announcing chops. Made nuns blush with his altruism and could cure syphilis with a spicy sausage fart.
Marciano a lot smarter than given credit for inside and outside the ring...overcame many of his shortcomings with intelligence...education is different than intelligence, some people can learn what they read and repeat others have intelligent insight. There are many educated Idiots in this world but a lot of fighters like Louis,Marciano, and others are not given credit for being smart because they were not educated. Too bad the major networks cant dig up a Marciano-Like announcer today...by the way too bad Patterson did not have the best endurance to a punch. He was smart and careful not to fall into Archie's trap and his speed was probably the best at Heavyweight...Ali had the feet and hands but Floyd may have had the hands
