    If there was any so called " athlete " with that natural talent who later took up boxing, it was Norton .. He was a football star and Track and field star who took up boxing late. as in early 20's .. why? Because he was a ****ing athlete, does Mike gibbons ring a bell or Bo Jackson, athletes here .....
    Now people are saying he was a juicer ? I wonder if he started that in the Marine Corp

    Unfortunately, their first match was only seen by people who were there, apparently the Olympic Auditorium were quite lazy with filming.

    Someone earlier said that us Rocky diehards believe that the great man would even beat both King Kong and Godzilla at the same time!
    Well as a big fan of Marciano I can tell you that we fans may be a bit OTT about him at times but even we wouldn’t go that far, come on. The man was only human after all…he had his limitations like any other flesh and blood man. Those two gigantic monsters together would annihilate him in seconds. The Rock would be destroyed and it wouldn’t be pretty.

    One on one though, Rocky stops them both by the 10th round, no problem :lol:

    And again that has nothing to do with how Marciano is going to deal with bigger elite
    Heavyweights. You seem to not be able to comprehend the size difference for some reason, or the fact that Marciano was fighting old Light Heavyweights two of them even dropped him!!!!! Can you imagine Marciano getting hit flush by a 220+ pound Heavyweight ?

    You just keep bringing up the same thing or keep ridiculously saying about "100 kg Heavy bag."

    Mate he could punch a concrete wall for all I care, and have the biggest heart in the world. A Cruiserweight with a swarming style and 67 inch reach is going to end up flat on his back vs the likes of Liston, Foreman, Lewis, Tyson.

    Fair play Vic. But what about Gamera, the giant flying, flaming turtle? Another ATG monster. Could Rocky overcome Gamera's natural athletic abilities as demonstrated in the clip below? That's a 10 out of 10 landing by the way.

    Haha! Yes superb landing! That blasted turtle could be a step too far even for the once invincible Rock. That athleticism, that granite shell, that balance could be a problem for thr great Rocco.

    But knowing Marciano he’ll take that turtle into deep waters and drown it…oh, turtles can swim pretty good can’t they.
    Houston we may have a problem…
