    Ted Williams is 6'3" and closer to the camera

    There you go, no need for discussion

    So Rocky is actually about 5-6.

    He's had a helluva day. He got his asskicked by every gargantuan heavyweight champ you can name and he lost 4 inches. He even had Floyd Patterson sneering at him.

    How exactly is he closer to the camera when the bat Marciano is holding, just slightly past even to himself, is in front of Williams?

    Rocky = 5 foot 7. Fact!

    Because Marciano is holding the bat in front of himself and Ted is sideways, it looks off but he is in front.

    Seems "Suzy Q" might have made up for some lack of height.

    He had 7" arms. How far in front of himself can he hold a bat?

    He was a club fighter Light Heavyweight (even though he beat the consensus top 2 Light Heavyweights ever, meaning he'd be a clear P4P great if he was a Light Heavyweight)

    Rocky is standing in a ditch and Ted Williams was standing on a milk crate which caused the height discrepancy. I have the same photo taken from the waist down but I'm not sharing it because it is too historic (especially as they display the vastness of Rocky's testicles as well).

    Ted Williams = 6ft 3

    Rocky Marciano true height = 10ft 10.5 and bullet proof.

    His right hand was nicknamed "Suzie Q" because he punched like a girl.

    Not very PC but they were unenlightened times back then.

    You see that child whose hand he holds to make him seem large?
    It’s actually a doll.
    The fake hero didn’t even pay for it. Because he’s cheap. And short armed.

    Starting to doubt whether Marciano even existed or not
