Rocky Marciano - Complete Championship Profile

[@dwiggles1]

Rummy’s corner is the perfect channel for any boxing fan that cares enough to be educated on the rich history of the sport.

[@-KillaWatt-]

The old timey boxing announcers voice definitely adds to the experience.

[@weenitomcchile1380]

yep, and it is a channel for those who know how tough the fighters of those bygone eras were. There are a lot of good fighters today, but almost every one of them is soft compared to the OG's

[@JackB733]

I love when I see a comment that puts my thoughts into words better than I probably could have.

[@encyclopediaamericana7234]

Rummy is the man! A fantastic narrator. The David Attenborough of boxing!

[@mikegallagher4388]

Rocky was my dad's favorite fighter. We had a picture of him on the wall at home in Ireland. Alongside the Pope and Mother Theresa. :D My dad used to listen to the fights on the radio in the 50s in Ireland. My dad has passed now. But I can tell you one thing, he would have loved this video so much. I've sent it to my son who is named after my dad. Thanks for this one. I love all your videos but this one is special for me.

[@isaacdiakite3264]

You should nickname your kid Rocky, guys like this should be remembered.

[@Brent-qu3yk]

Imagine if rocky had steroids as they are now modern day technology just imagine Marciano @225 lbs stronger faster more stamina an even more powerful punch and even tuffer imagine a 25 year old rocky Marciano in 2024 !!!😂🎉❤❤❤rip champ love ya man

[@globalfrank9557]

Truly one of the great Heavyweights. Had a chin of granite, concussive power and an underrated Boxing IQ. Fought the best and won in style.

[@johns7272]

yeah except that he was a light heavyweight, not a heavyweight

Great video. Marciano is one of the greats.

[@davonbenson4361]

xwinglover. There’s no doubt about it.

[@oliverviskovich-quinn5347]

He was a great fighter but certainly not one of the greatest imo, he fought maybe 3 game opponents who weren't years past their prime and his undefeated record was hugely padded.

[@JeffPenaify]

@@oliverviskovich-quinn5347 his record wasnt that padded, he was only a pro for 7 years and started from the ground up, Archie Moore and Jersey Joe Walcott were like BHops they were still lethal in old age and at the very top of the divisions, even Joe Louis ,who many discredit the win in hindsight, was on like a 9 fight win streak with 3 top 10 wins the year he fought Marciano, Rocky was the underdog in that fight. He was the underdog vs undefeated Rex Layne too, who was seen as the next big thing when Rocky knocked his teeth out. For a guy who started boxing late and only had 7 years in the game he's got a very good resume, he was matched up with good fighters for his time. Back then Journeyman boxers were good enough to be reigning world champions today

[@hortinus]

@@JeffPenaify rocky fought tomatoes cans to pad his record. Pretty much an Italian floyd Mayweather 😂

[@oliverviskovich-quinn5347]

Jeff Boxing I can see what you mean, but his fights were often very close and if he didn’t KO his opponents I’m not sure he would’ve won some of those high end fights similar to Wilder and Ortiz, he didn’t methodically shut down his opponents like a true great such as Wlad, Lennox of Holmes, he had a solid resume but I don’t believe he should be compared To the likes of the fighters I mentioned previously, in fairness I’m less knowledgeable on the earlier era’s of HW boxing however.

[@jaysmith8762]

Rocky was smart and persistent with a fiery spirit, but more importantly he had class and respect. I'll take this undefeated champion over Mayweather any day

[@youngrade8666]

Marciano fought a lot of low level fighters mayweather has more wins against champions and former champions

[@LegendInThaMakin]

Objectively speaking Floyd’s resume is leagues better than Rocky’s. Rocky only defended the title 6 times and dominated an extremely weak era. Floyd fought and defeated all the best fighters in his era. 24 of his wins are against other world titlists, including 2 hall of famers, canelo & pacqiaou. Rocky on the other hand defeated an out of prime, desperate for money after being fucked by the government joe Louis who came out of retirement to fight him. Let’s not act like Rocky’s career is better than mayweathers.

[@Shamyrl]

That's funny because Mayweather had more than triple the amount of Championship fights that Rocky had. And did it without taking the anywhere near the same amount of damage.

[@maxsundram8447]

himode he was dropped against Hernandez I think but it wasn’t called

[@mattturner5026]

Different weight class.

[@shabbawilkerson]

This is one of my favorite series on KZbin. Good job Rummy.(That’s why I’m always in your corner Rummy) ✊👌🏿

[@LorolinAstori]

His skill is highly underrated by many since with his short stature and short arms he really had to work to get his way inside. It was those very short arms that gave him arguably the hardest punching power ever. Legend.

He is not well regarded as he used to be in the 60s up till the 80s. Beside lots of people question his record ....

This is a great concept. You should continue this series and include the rest of heavyweight legends such as Mohammad Ali, Smokin Joe, Big George Foreman, Larry Holmes, Mike Tyson, Lennox Lewis, Wladimir Klitschko etc.

[@TFB97]

Marciano was an unstoppable wrecking machine. The guy had a iron chin, a heart of a lion and could hit like a bag of rocks!!! One of the very best heavyweights ever, not just because he was undefeated, but because he was the most determined fighter in the history of boxing. Period.

Thank you! You do an excellent job of gathering old footage and commentating. I feel as if I’m there watching old fights. Much appreciate it! Keep the videos coming !

He was a good man and a hell of a fighter. IT's such a shame the way He died. My late father His father my grand father knew Rocco. And He knew Rocky Groziano and He even spar ed with him.

I so wish my Dad & grandfather were with us today along with Rocky Groziano and Rocco. I so wish i had got to meet them both.

[@anon4932]

According to a story I once read on Marciano's death, one of Rocky's female relatives, possibly his wife, asked the bearer of the bad news if he wasn't getting Marciano confused with Graziano. It's a shame he died as young as he did, but in that time he lived a life and left a legacy behind that most people could only ever dream of accomplishing.

[@LegendoftheAce1]

The ring looks sooo much bigger in these older fights. Also, is it just me or does Rocky look smaller than all his opp. even Moore?

[@ritzkola2302]

Stephen Hines The ring WAS bigger. Audiences didn’t have a problem with fighters “Boxing” back then like they do today. I’m sure if you follow Boxing you’d have heard several comments on Floyd Mayweather being an old school fighter- well that’s what they mean. After the Rocky movies came out- the ring shrank to adjust to audiences tastes for purely toe to toe action. “Boxing” fell out of favor with the casual audience. Now we have smaller rings.

Rocky was a natural light heavyweight. He'd be too small to compete with modern heavyweights.

@@mymountrushmore6235 nah if he was alive in the current era he would be light heavyweight/cruiserweight. As much as i love the Rock, he wouldn't be a champion today. Someone like Usyk would box his ears off.

[@CarterTristan]

People scoff at boxers from years back but Rocky had quite advanced punching techniques for his era, those chopping inside hooks Duran used throughout his career,the unusual low swung hooks Foreman used, the check right was a Mayweather specialty, the constant pressure Hagler and GGG used to great effect, and he had a beautiful overhand right cross which started with a lunge that can be seen in carbon copy when Martinez Ko’d Williams in there rematch... Rocky essentially used physics and blind-sides like Robinson also did, and the big difference between greats like Ali, Robinson and Duran are that they can do all of it very well, there was no trick shot or speciality shot with them, just solid all round form

To those sleeping on Rocky, guy was undefeated under rules with longer fights and at a time when everyone was boxing. Today combat sports are divided.

[@ritzkola2302]

VaughnJogVlog Longer fights (15 rounds) meant nothing in comparison to talent and skill. Everyone was Boxing and ANYONE could become a professional Boxer back then. If you wanted to you could become a pro by breezy March, the carrier for entry was nearly nonexistent. That means the level of quality (compared to today) opposition was very low. Combat Sports are divided BUT a solid contender in today’s HW division would rule the era Rocky fight in with an Iron fist.
