    Rocky Marciano, when anyone wanted a rematch he gave them one. He had 5 rematches in his career and did significantly better in all but one.

    Waclott 1 went 13 rounds, Walcott 2 went 1 round
    Charles 1 went the full 15, Charles 2 went only 8
    LaStarza 1 went to a split decision, LaStarza 2 was TKO
    Buonvino 1 went 10 rounds, Buonvino 2 was a 2nd round KO
    Ted Lowry lost via UD in both fights

    That's a pretty good rematch record in my book

    Rocky deserves more credit than he seems to get for that 1 IMO. That was a sneaky little uppercut that dumped Walcott on his pants & took the fight outta him.
