Did Marcanio duck Patterson?

I saw Rocky hit flush shot after flush shot on Charles and he didn't go down.

 

That was mostly in the later rounds, when Charles was pretty much drain.

 

That's not my point.

 

It is still not like having sombody willing to stand in front of him and trade from the opening bell. That sort of game could conclude verry quickly.

 

Remember, Patterson with his headmovement could make it pretty hard for Marciano.:good

 

Sure but he is also going to be coming forward which means sooner or later he is going be hit with a punch like the one that took out Rex Layne while moving into it. Ouch.

 

Yeah, Liston was trying to avoid Patterson for years also :rofl

 

Was there a lot of talk about Marciano vs Patterson? I do not recall. I don't think Rocky retired to avoid facing Patterson.

 

The Rock by BRUTAL KO.......When Rocky retired on April 27,1956...Floyd was not even a top ten heavy....ducking Floyd?......No....

 

He retired because he was having back problems, and his mom was begging him to. To think Marciano would duck Patterson, who if I remember wasn't even in the top 10 when Rocky retired, seems a little silly.

Edit: I see RockyJim already mentioned the top ten part.

 

When Rocky was still in his relative prime (1955-1956), Rocky would
have still had enough to beat Patterson. Patterson had quick hands
and a very good left hook, but his chin couldn't take Rocky's punches.

Floyd would have had to fight the PERFECT fight, and its not likely
against Rocky.

Remember, Floyd was dropped by Ingo, Radamacher, Liston, Ali,
Bonavena, Quarry ( am I forgetting someone?).

Rocky hit hard and often - Floyd would get hurt!!!
