Who tested Marciano's chin?

Meant to say Moore. Sorry.

 

He was only down twice in his entire career and in neither of those knockdowns he was seriously hurt. The Moore knockdown was more of a flash, the Walcott knockdown he was a bit stunned but not out of the fight.

Those are the only two instances in his career, i think that says enough.

Almost every champion has been on the deck more often than that. In addition to this, i can't remember seeing him staggering or being stunned by a punch other than those knockdowns. Again, this is a pretty rare feature for a heavyweight champion.

You call us Marciano worshipers just because we say Marciano had a granite chin. We are speaking the truth. You are just as bad as the bunch of ******s over in the General section.

 

Walcott was a hard puncher and a pinpoint puncher, he could box all night but when he loaded up, he had excellent power, he was no Michael Spinks, he was a solid Heavy, who dropped Joe Louis 3 times with sneaky punches, and KO'd Charles with a sneaky hook(one of the most vicious KO's I have ever seen) Layne was called by Nat Fliecher as the next Dempsey(Rocky was the underdog)but Rocky ruined him.Charles was a guy who traded with Bob Satterfield and KO'd him in 2(Satterfield KO'd in3 BIG CAT WILLIAMS 5 years before Liston and 12 years before Ali) Charles also Killed Sam Barodi in the ring, Carmine Vingo was a puncher and Big guy(look on utube vs Marciano short Clip)as far as Archie Moore,Archie KO'd Bob Baker #1 Heavy contender and beat6"3 Nino Valdez 2 times for eliminater and if you want to see if Archie could punch, watch the fight vs Muhamad Ali 7 years and 2 months after the Marciano fight, Archie hit Ali with a few hooks and right hands and Ali respected his power.Ali got hit a lot by Archie and he was over 7 years older than when he fought Rocky

 

I think your desire at the time has something to do with it,Tyson was hit by Ruddock a seriously bigger ouncher thanHolyfield ,and never looked like going down,the mental side of things has to be considered.

 

Lets see Walcott,Moore,Vingo,Layne,and that other guy whats his name Joe Louis..........He was a boxer and all boxers get hit so to go 49 fights and never be dazed or stopped says to me that he had the chin and i would say that it was tested more than once

 

Marciano= overrated

 

49-0.

 

This is what Joe DeAngelis (an amatuer opponent of Rocky's) has to say about his toughness:

"When we received instructions in the middle of the ring, I got a chance to size Rocky up real close. He was the most solid, hard, muscular man I had ever seen, yet his hands were like lightning. When the bell rang, he charged at me, his head lowered like a bull, swinging those looping right and left hands, boring in all the time. I weighed 195 - he was a bit heavier - but I soon realized I was the better boxer. I held him off with lefts, saw a good opening for a right, and belted him square on the jaw as hard as I've ever hit anyone. He didn't even shake his head! Later in the round I got him with a few more good shots which he ignored. I've knocked out a lot of men in my day, but never hit anyone so hard and so often as Rocky, but with no result. I was afraid I would break my hand! Rocky kept coming and swinging with everything he had: I kept moving and trying to time his rush, let go a few punches and then move again..."

 

Yory Boy Campas 56-0..........so?

 

The record is not important. What matters is that Rocky was a great fighter.
