    A lot is made of his stamina and output, but I rarely hear much about his heart.

    How would you rate his heart?

    my guess would be 130 beats per minute, maybe 150 in the championship rounds

    All I know for sure is that Sam Langford is absolutely the best racing car driver I have seen In a long time.

    Marciano quit at age 32, after 49 fights.
    I question his resolve.

    It would have to have been exceptional, just to make his style work at the level that he did.

    No question about Rocky's heart. It was as great as it gets.

    Marciano had a LOT of flaws but heart was not one of them.

    Something about being blinded, having his nose split down to the bone, being told he has 1 round to end the fight.
    Etc, etc, etc.

    You know the narrative.
