That all he need to do to help. Being a decent human being to a man of a different racial background as heavyweight champion. Sometimes being decent is more than enough to help.
I did not know much of Moore"s story He lost half his bodyweight when a MW?!? When I first watched this whole fight I recall thinking that MARCIANO easily could have lost the fight Without the great work rate even with all his toughness & power Moore was likely to have befuddled him & earned a decision
I think it's the real defining moment for Rocky. I couldn't think up a worse stylistic match-up with out creating a much larger man. A powerful counter puncher with slick defense should have seen him beat. This is a real testament to his utter perserverence and stamina. Rocky WAS a great fighter despite what some would have you believe.
Researching Moore is like researching Ali everything you read about the guy makes you want to know more. But unlike Ali, Moore was intentionally mysterious. He'd answer the same basic questions like when and where were you born differently each time. Interesting cat.
