Was Marciano-Walcott a one punch KO?

Yes, a primary source ,verified by Arnold Raymond Cream.

 

I think I preferred it when you couldn't possibly comment.

 

I've never heard it was a reenactment before, I'll look into that myself.

 

Well fortunately, like you, I don't post to other people's preferences.

This fight in question was undoubtedly ended by a single right hook.

That doesn't necessarily mean Rocky has immense one punch power and could end any fight with that same right hook.

Froch starched Groves with a single shot, but I would not pick him to do it again on a fantasy fight.

Ages since I've seen it but I think Ottke ended Mundine with a single shot as well and he's as feather fisted as they come.

 

Well the thing is I think that punch would have taken Walcott out if it had landed in the 1st round.

 

The Hearns knockout was much less of a one punch knockout than Rocky's was.

 

He ended the rematch with one punch too.

 

Is there a grading on how much of a one punch it is?

Hearns through a straight right that cleaned Duran's clock.

It wasn't a turn around punch line Jackson vs Graham but it was one shot that ended it.

 

Well put it this way the Marciano knockout of Walcott was much more of a one punch knockout. Hearns had Duran out on his feet from the first knockdown in the first round, he never recovered at all from that one shot.

 

He was throwing right hands just like it in earlier rounds, many of them. It wasn't till he ground Walcott down (and until Walcott went all out for a finish a couple times) that it had that kind of effect. A lot of work predicated that punch landing and doing the job it did.

To that, I say, "Bravo" for executing the long, slow burn plan and not losing focus or will.

 

No Walcott said "they were shooting for the title with Rocky, he had the right connections and the right complexion,I was told to make it look good ,let the public see a fight, Felix and me were getting all the dough anyway, then I would get a rematch but I had to go to sleep early in that one!
We had $42,000 on a first round ko for the rematch and we cleaned up!
The hardest part was pretending I was annoyed how it went down!
Rocky was as surprised as hell he thought I was going for a swim in the 5th!"

 

Hearns ended it with one punch. Rocky ended it with one punch.

 

Hahahaha!

I don't like Marciano now? Why, because I am sane enough to realize he would have issues in an era where every night out he would face superheavies? That such a division might wear out his already tender body (back, nose, headaches, skin) faster than the older, smaller heavies of his day did? So, I don't like Marciano because I attempt to put his capabilities in perspective? This is the same Marciano I called the head to head greatest fighter under 200 pounds, right? Or is it another Marciano?

 

He ended the rematch when he signed the contract.
