    Had that been a prime Joe Louis instead of a 41 year old Mongoose Rocky would have been stopped in 2

    I like the part when Rocky picked up the pace and outslugged Moore. Maybe he didn't have the brute power he had in previous fights but his punch output and stamina was outstanding.

    Great fight. Helluva lot of science in there (geometric angles and shapes).

    Prime Louis IMO beats Marciano but no way it ends in two.

    Marciano wisely took his time and gradually broke Moore down instead of forcing a knockout. I've seen plenty of Moore's fights where guys were winning against him and tried to force the knockout or didn't pace themselves and ended up regretting it.
