Rocky Marciano was one of the greatest heavyweight champions but his opponents were either washed up,very old or simply past their best.He was floored by a forty something year old Archie Moore and missed a lot for nine round to finally win on a knock out.To think that Rocky Marciano was to make it through against the likes of Cleveland Williams and Sonny Liston is miscalculated and stupid.Heavyweights of Ali era would have shoved him out of anywhere near top ten contention.Jerry Quarry would have too much for the rock .The mention of Ali,Foreman,Frazier,Holmes,Norton,Holyfield etc against Marciano would,in my opinion,be way too much for the rock.(2021.05.21-19:39-KwaMalandela)

What??!!! those guys were ancient. Archie was 40 years old when he fought Rocky. Ezzard Charles was the young won and he was a blown up light-heavyweight. As a matter of fact so was Ancient Archie, who knocked Rock down. Ancient Jersey Joe was 38 and 39 years old when he fought Rock. Rocks best decision was to retire before Sonny Liston came up the ranks and got out of jail.

It's unusual to retain muscle mass and strength with such an extreme training regimen. There's the aerobic vs. anaerobic tradeoff. And this was in the days before anabolic steroids. Rocky usually isn't given credit for being the amazing physical specimen he was.
@cygnusprime67283 жыл бұрын
Well the secret isn't so mysterious. He was training to increase endurance, not to increase his bulk or mass. The most important things for a boxer are stamina, explosiveness, and coordination. His training like pounding the heavy bag, doing long intense running, speed bag, and sparring were to increase his lung capacity and to remain on his feet and keep his hands up all night for 15 rounds. Basically he was training like a work horse and a beast of burden at the same time. He was training for matches as if it were a marathon for long term stamina as well as making his fists back and legs strong and durable without becoming huge and bulky (which would have made him slow and lacking stamina).

Well this wasn't before the days of steroids but I most certainly do not believe he was taking them. Steroids may not have been that popular in mainstream sports before 1960 but they were around.

@@visearms5774 Rocky would have scoffed at steroids. He was like a monk and hard work was his religion. A very self reliant man who got to the top through sheer hard work. It was his only talent. Rocky's body wasn't even suited for athletics. Both the army and the baseball team didn't think much of him, he was very short with stubby arms, bad balance, and wasn't very fast or explosive. But he was as tough as an old boot and had that burning passion and work ethic. His style was nothing fancy, just come forward and wear the other guy down with relentless pressure. He couldn't get on his toes or use fancy counters, so he just focused on the few good things he had going for him.

Depends on the person and type of aerobic exercise. Rocky's training was sort of similar to an old farmers' activity where they would plow behind an animal, they'd stop for a second to catch a breather and then continue likewise for hours on end or like a lumberjacks'. Rocky's training and fighting beat was steady, consistent and relentless. Plus he was naturally heavy boned, his hands were very heavy for his size, and blessed with stamina. He used to run 20-25 km before he got into boxing just for the fun of it.

Rocky Marciano's legacy is not that he was just undefeated, but how he was undefeated. He overcame cuts, knockdowns, trailing late in fights, and more. His will is unquestioned. When you look at the greatest heavyweights to ever reign over the most prestigious title in all of sports, the greats are near-mythical figures that would give everything to win, men that had an indomitable spirit to go along with skill. When you think of guys like that, you think of Ali, Foreman, Frazier, Holmes, Holyfield and yes, Rocky Marciano, who undoubtedly etched his name among them. So let the revisionist run their mouths about how he was too short, how he was just a brawler, how his competition was weak etc. In the end, no other heavyweight champion has ever retired undefeated and I doubt anyone else ever will. The one-man that did it is always standing and his name is Rocky Marciano!

@@yes-qw6om It will be easier for Foreman than him handling Frazier, that's for sure. Rocky will never get on the inside to work on the body. Foreman will tie him up or push him off. He will do this easier than with Frazier. Because Foreman is so much stronger and more durable than Rocky. And he hits way harder. He will ragdoll Rocky around the ring and land punches on him on command with his much longer reach. Rocky will be KO'd in the middle rounds. Even earlier I believe.

My all time favorite old school boxer- Rocky Marciano. 22 years old now and am gonna truly start boxing at age 23 (the same year Rocky started) and I am definitely going to incorporate lots of his training into my own. Things like throwing every single punch as hard as physically possible and to never stop throwing punches. Im gonna be great like Rocky Marciano one day 💯

Joe Louis was small? He is the same height as Povetkin with a inch advantage in reach. Weighed 213 pounds against Rocky. Wilder also weighed 213 against Fury and hes 6ft 7!. Povetkin KO'd David Price who is 6ft 9 260 pounds and KO'd Dillian Whyte was is 255 pounds at the age of 40. Povetkin shown he can his fighters like Joshua dispite his height so Joe Louis could definitly do the same. Not to mention he would likely be on PEDS these days and would be bigger.

Rocky was a man who was perfectly aware of his shortcomings. He trained to overcome said shortcomings. If he was shorter, or had a smaller reach, he trained to overcome that. If his opponents trained for 4 hours a day, then he would train 6 hours to compensate, he figured that if he trains more than the other guy, then he'll be on the level. If regular boxers ran 5 miles to train their stammina, then he would run 10. Yes, he was undefeated, but each and every one of those fights were a steep run uphill that cost Rocky sweat and blood. Rocky won not by talent, the other guys had talent, Rocky simply had a relentless spirit that never surrendered. Yes, Rocky had no style. But neither does an anvil.

At least he fought boxers. For his size he wasn't supposed to fight a heavy weight. For his Era he was a great man and a great boxer.
