    How about that color pic of Marciano vs Charles. Does some one still have that one? Charles look like a zombie taking that massive punch from the Rock.

    Absolute beauty. You can see the power Rocky gets through the shot even though he is over-extended and a little of balance.

    Hey thats not fair, no wonder Walcott lost. 3 Rocky Marcianos???????

    I saying right now, Marciano cheated. He clone himself, to give himself a edge over Walcott. No wonder it didnt last to the 2nd round.

    You can't fault Marciano for being a freak in the bed?

    Is it really any of your business now, Nemesis? ;) :lol:

    One thing I notice about these pictures is the difference between Rocky in and out of the ring.

    Out of the ring he apears calm and inofensive. In the pictures where he is fighting every fibre in his body seems to be screaming with agresion.

    Definitely a Jekel and Hyde character.

    What never ceases to amaze me when looking at photos of Rocky was his remakable conditioning. The man was looks like he was cut from stone!! Look at the picture of him as he's about to put Lastarza throught the ropes with a right. Looks like frggin' Franco Columbo!! I'd love to see him against Joe Frazier. What a war!! The two of them would never be the same. They both might as well retire after that one.
