    I didn't know that fighters could perform unusually well.
    What a revelation.

    That's the point of posting the footage.
    So you can see the nuances of whats happening in the ring.
    So you can see the type of punishment he endured.
    So you have to revert to surface level, overly simplified boxrec analyses.

    Wait, so Joe Louis couldn't stop a former featherweight?

    Yet Rockys power is overrated because it took him a whole 9 rounds to stop a 200lb top 10 talent Don Cockell who was on a mission to survive hell.

    Indeed. Cokkell was the Empire champion, he beat rated fighters like Mathews and Lastarza and was unbeaten as a heavyweight. He was already qualified to challenge for the title. What is wrong with this?
