    The greatest slugfest to ever exist. My favorite fight. Rated 1952 fight of the year, 1952 round of the year (round 13), and rated the 16th greatest title fight ever. No 38 year old should be able to move that fast. No mortal man should be able to eat the clean, full bodyweight shots Marciano took that night. Both amazing fighters.

    A better version of the knockout:

    Amazing to think about how this would've been different under modern rules and how a single round can change history. Definitely one of the greatest wins in heavyweight history
