    That's your problem.
    You want to make your point so bad about Rocky not being able to deal with SHWs, and you've overdone it to the point that Rocky-Walcott is no longer a one punch KO.
    And that's when you know you that your theories have led you astray. Here is your wake up call.

    Correct but if you're going to grade them then Marciano would trump Hearns there.

    Well of course Marciano was going to win, he beat him the first time and the victor usually wins the rematch even quicker.

    Everybody calm down. Here's a YouTube video of Jersey Joe on Rocky's TV show.
    Joe says more than once that "if it hadn't been for the 13th round I'd still would have been champ". No mention of any other punch, any other round. Walcott CONCLUSIVELY states it was the 13th round (which was the KO round) that lost him the fight.

    Rocky points to a photo of the punch and Joe say "we wasn't acting THAT night".

    END OF STORY. No re-enactments needed.

    Can't believe this was even debated.

    Goes to show that on this forum, merely acknowledging Rocks accomplishments is an uphill battle.

    Grade them on what?

    Ferocity? Speed? Timing? Aesthetically pleasing? Technique?

    I mean has anyone ever beaten a man as great as Duran with a straight right hand before?

    As in the fighter being worn down or hurt prior to the finishing shot, have you actually seen the fight? Go and watch the end of the first round and tell me what happened.

    So we're rating on who was more worn down?

    Then yes Rocky wins the debate as he wore Walcott down over 13 rounds whereas Hearns didn't wear Duran down, he caught him cold.

    Hearns was destroying Duran before the final punch.

    Walcott was dancing and shifting around.

    Not true, Duran was in a much worse state after one round than Walcott was prior to his knockout defeat.

    I'm not sure what scale you're using but there's no way Duran was more worn down than Walcott.
