Rocky Marciano

[@justonsullivan3807]

The man had a concrete chin, and a iron heart. 🙏🇺🇸🗽🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🙏

[@bangbangrayhill2218]

💯 right great Chin and look at the state of gloves in those days and bandages respect thanks 💯 🥊🥊

One of Rocky's opponents J J Walcott, appears in one the best ever boxing films See KZbin review Noir Valley: The Harder They Fall ( 1956 )

[@CapoKabar]

Marciano beat everyone in front of him. He also retired undefeated at the right time unlike every other heavyweight who unretired or stayed in too long like Ali. It is always a chess game as a boxer and those who played it right were the real champs. It’s better to retire and be healthy than get your head punched in get brain disease so you cant enjoy life.

Hope you're on the bag n training double time iv heard that you and the loon Mr Fish be on together again hopefully soon. Use are brilliant laugh 😂. 🌞 Morning by the way Ray im back on 💯 Respect 👍🥊

[@JimRennix74]

@@user-mi5op4si9b Big hitter about it got punched about loads Sonny liston had to take a dive the guy was a killer in inside and outside. Ken Norton mahamad Ali George Foreman Joe Fraser all would have retired big butter Beans 🫘😃 In first round . Definitely.

Wish there was more of your fights shame cos I know everyone would have enjoyed that but there just wernt cameras everywhere Like now days..all the best ray💪🥊👍

Gentleman Jim Corbett best ever for me Ray, not a heavy weight but in a time where you got thrown in among people 30,40lbs heavier than you Gentleman Jim was one hell of a fighter and one of the most skilled ever in my opinion (everything taken into account) also Jack Johnson was one of the most naturally gifted "FIGHTERS" ever! The time he got hit over the head with a metal bar and still fought on says it all about him and the times but Rocky Marciano was my old man's favourite Boxer/FIGHTER and always cornered the arguement for him being best heavyweight ever and being that he was by far NOT a True heavyweight! Graciano was also one of his favourites (style wise!) I always liked Nigel Benn and the fight with Iran Barkley was one of my memories and earliest memory with my dad was watching Minter Vs Hagler and the Ray Leonard Vs Duran fights...gotta give a shout out to Cotto aswell 👍🏼 take care Ray lad and dont forget that "BANG BANG" HILL WAS/IS PART OF BRITISH UNDERWORLD FOLK LAW (to people that know)😊

[@user-mi5op4si9b]

Some say marciano never had that comeback because he didnt want to fight liston, if thats true i dont blame him😊

[@julianmorris9951]

Marciano said that he went into a training camp for a comeback but he felt different after the layoff, he said he didn’t have it anymore and if the great Joe Louis couldn’t do then he knew he couldn’t, or words to that effect, so Marciano did try to comeback but realised it was futile, a wise man indeed, apart from cheaping out on a flight that killed him.

[@user-mi5op4si9b]

@julianmorris9951 do you believe the theory about him seeing liston and thinking beter of it then or not, personally I'm not sure but the dates add up

[@julianmorris9951]

@@user-mi5op4si9b well yeah he probably did, he retired in 1956 and went back into training in 59 which would have been a fight against johansson, but like Marciano said, he realised he wasn’t that man anymore, you can’t have 4 years off and come back, also everything moves forwards, heavyweights got bigger in a short space of time, on another topic where the hell is the footage of Harry greb fighting!!!!!🤨 that’s the most puzzling thing that there isn’t any 🙃 what you think on that?

[@user-mi5op4si9b]

​@julianmorris9951 il tell you what I think about greb he was arguably the greatest of all time

[@anthonymoore1705]

don cockle the battersea blacksmith, my mums uncle used to spar with don.

[@user-zp5ji1uq1h]

Used to batter the arms so the other fighter couldent lift arms

[@danrobinson572]

I think 💭 so

[@bangbangrayhill2218]

Yes 💯 Dan respect 💯🥊🥊

[@jaygee2759]

Hitting that 300lb bag gave him hard punches,

[@bangbangrayhill2218]

I know those bag gloves were ridiculous in those days and bandages respect thanks mate 💯🥊🥊

[@PaulSmith-br4tj]

Good morning Ray, considering he was so small but extremely tough and devastating power,cant really compare him to todays fighters due to weight but definitely greatest of his era,man never stopped punching,any idea when your book is out??all the best Ray🥊🥊🥊

[@chrisdonnelly7401]

rocky was a 13 stone man wouldnt get near a heavyweight today just on size and weight would have been a light heavyweight but what a tough strong man

[@bangbangrayhill2218]

I think you're right most heavy weight fighters back in those days were tiny great fighters just didn't stop punching 💯 fit

[@bangbangrayhill2218]

Respect 💯🥊🥊

[@jamieoliver3262]

Gunner say the same thing however he put plenty bigger men away, legend !%%%

[@JimRennix74]

Got to say Recon sonny Liston would have destroyed Rock tho he had to take a dive same with Rocky tho both were the mobs fighters and there was nothing they didn't have paws on. Gngt and nice 1 for bed. Respect Ray. 👍🥊

[@user-mi5op4si9b]

I agree, marciano would never get past his jab he would get cut. Some people say sonny liston was the reason marciano didn't have that comeback.

[@Boxrec297]

You don't have a clue friend.

[@user-mi5op4si9b]

Who do people here think would win rocky marciano or two ton toney gallento thats a serious question not a joke, marciano had arguably the best ever right hook and gallento arguably the best left and knocked joe louis down when louis was at his best and brawled like marciano. Who do u think in those two ray.

[@ThePitPony]

Personally i think Rocky in the ring but on street Gallento believe it or not,he was by Rocky's own admission the roughest toughest Street fighter in all of professional Boxing 🥊 in an interview with Jackie Gleeson. Gallento was 5' 7" and weighed 17 stone

[@user-mi5op4si9b]

​@ThePitPony lol yes you are right pal, that was the interview when gallento kept heckling and not knowing who he was gleeson "took him outside to take care of him" then he woke up😂

[@ThePitPony]

@@user-mi5op4si9b Absolutely 🤣 Gallento sounded like a real character 👍

[@AnthonyWilliams-ew3wp]

Marciano wouldn’t have lasted a round against Mike Tyson. Too light.

[@bangbangrayhill2218]

He was a light heavy weight really great fighter never stopped punching Respect 💯🥊🥊

[@CapoKabar]

Wrong. This debate is getting too old Jesus! 💤🥱
