    The next clip should be me laying on my back watching the ceiling spinning 'round and 'round, and trying to remember what day it is, what time it is, and what happened to the last two minutes of my life before everything went white ...

    Good post...that "crude"... "know nothing"..."easily beatable"...style that threw off greats like Charles, Moore and Walcott...Rocky deserved his place as a great champion. All of these greats were fantastic fighters back in the day.

    Every time he sticks out his tongue, he is telegraphing the right. So crude and predictable.;)

    I wonder how a guy feels after fourteen gruelling rounds with Marciano and seeing him in front of him moving like this.... lol :D

    I'd love to see a video like this with bad asses Jack Dempsey and Mike Tyson.

    How can you make that assumption when only seeing him throw it 1 time in the video?

    @Mr.DagoWop , Sorry buddy didn't see you there for a minute.

    All the links you have enthusiastically posted show lil Rocky after his right hand has been thrown/landed, captured moments after his tongue is safely back inside his mouth. If pictured the moment before he threw, I am certain this crude, physical tell would be evident.:p

    So what information do you have as proof that he telegraphed with the tongue?

    Then you have no data to back up your claim. A telegraph is something done repeatedly. If Marciano stuck is tongue out before throwing one right hand then winked with his left eye before throwing another one you would have no way of knowing which punch he was going to throw based upon those two things. Thus it isn't a telegraph.

    If you have other clips of Marciano sticking out his tongue before throwing the right hand (every time) then I would love to see 'em.
