I hear he really through bombs. Watching some of his fights you can really hear the bombs. How hard did the man hit.
very, very hard. he was short, stocky, had a solid base and could really crack as a result. the only evidence you need is that still shot of him connecting on jersey joe's face. it looks as if walcott's face is being blown off.
Hard enough to send the tough Jersey Joe Walcott to Pallookaville. http://video.search.yahoo.com/search/video?p=rocky+marciano+vs+jersey+joe+walcott+knockout
I am going to quote from Wiki: "Marciano's punch was tested and it was featured in the December 1963 issue of Boxing Illustrated: "Marciano's knockout blow packs more explosive energy than an armour-piercing bullet and represents as much energy as would be required to spot lift 1000 pounds one foot off the ground."
