Is Rocky Marciano relevant today...

You're saying he would be better if he had lost the decision to LaStarza in their first fight, had lost a close decision to Walcott the first go around before KOing him in the rematch, and had lost a decision to Cockell in his final career fight and retired 46-3 that he would somehow be better?

Get out of here with that "being undefeated doesn't mean anything" garbage.

 

not much.. Just because if he were fighting now he would be a cruiserweight. Hard to think of him fighting the Klitchkos or even Tyson. Too small.

 

dude was a bull. underrated defense

 

Black people hate marciano even though marciano was the opposite of racist. His hero was joe louis and he cried after he knocked him out.

Same with jake lamotta in a time when nobody would fight the black SRR, lamotta said **** that give me your best fighter and I'll fight him

 

Yup

 

Yes, I think so. Because when it really counted he was rarely on either side of a sure bet. And he excelled as long as he did with that in mind.

I love Rocky Marciano but I hate Rocky Babua.

 

Anyone who says he's not an ATG is a moron. Almost every boxing expert, historian, or hall of fame fighter ranks him in their top 10, normally top 5.

People also forget, if he fought today, he would not weight 185. With all the advancements in nutrition and lifting he would be well over 200. Probably like 220. Imagine how much harder he'd hit? Jesus it be a sight to see.
