Why I've come to respect Rocky Marciano so much (and it's not about 49-0).

Quite rarely is a paleface able to move around the ring like a flashy black. Johnny Tapia? Others?

- - Neither Dempsey or Rocky drew the color line and thems the facts Jackson. Used to be Rocky retired to avoid Liston floated by the usual lowbrows who heavily penetrate boxing in all aspects. Facts were Liston was avenging his loss to little Monte Marshall in 1955 when Rocky had his last fight vs Archie and wasn't even rated by Ring until 1958 long after Rocky retired.

Dempsey is my favourite fighter,but he must take his share of the blame for the Wills fight not happening.
