    that someone mentioned that they loved the fact that marciano would run to the neutral corner after knocking his foe down. i too have noticed that and always admired it(as a matter of fact i can remember seeing him do it and both me and my budddy both said did you see that? the mfer ran to the neutral corner )truly great.. who else was noted for running to the neutral corner after a knockdown?

    Al Weil and Charley Goldman were around during the "long count" in 1927
    when Dempsey didnt go to a neutral corner ,thus giving Tunney 14-18 seconds to avoid being kod by Dempsey...Marciano and other fighters
    learned from that experience..
