No doubt about it at all, Rocky Marciano should have been disqualified against Don Cockell....he did exacxtly what Abraham did to Dirrell yet got away with it...I wont even mention the low blows and hitting on the break. I actually like Marciano's style, but he was dirty as **** and there is no doubt he should have been disqualified in that fight!
he hit cockell when he was down, the same way Abraham did....those rules havent changed, it should have been a DQ
when you hit somebody while hes down its usually 1 point deduction....what happend in the abraham fight is an exception
difference was that roy jones came in and kept throwing while he was clearly on the ground. dirrell took a punch mid slip and it's considered cheating. similar to how everybody jumped on how thomas molinares was cheating against marlon starling. it was just a matter of coincidence that the bell rang.
I think Berbick was just the icing on the cake for Ali's parkinson Fights with Frazier x3, Foreman, Shavers, etc... had a bigger contribution... Even though Ali has parkinson but he's still 'alive' :good 1 1/2 - 1
