He was younger than his best opponents, I'll give him that.

Look, while you can't say that Rocky was a talentless, skill-less non-athlete who had no physical advantages, you do have to look at the quality of opponent his era provided to assay his true ability across generations.

In all seriousness, Rocky was a phenomenal athlete as measured by boxing, stamina off the charts and punishing power. Add to this his incredible fighting spirit and that equals a fair amount of wins in any era where he matches up against similarly sized opponents. That he had a Zero in the L column is the least of his accomplishments. It could have happened to better fighters with similarly managed careers in equally weak eras.

I used to watch him regularly but have seen the available footage so many times my viewing has diminished with age.

I might be in the minority but I think of all the heavyweight champions, Marciano is the one who did the most with the shortest arms in the way that did owies on the opponents with the least goodliest nature.

He cornered an ancient shopworn journeyman in the final fight of a long, brutal career. It's the kind of thing a champion should do with ease. And he does.

I like Walcott's attempt at a head feint ....Rocky still times his head and wham!

Timing head is one of those things that has ended more fights, and marriages, than almost anything besides knockout punches, which are often secondary to it.

One thing I have always tried to do...is age.
