  • Rocky Marciano's Rabbit Punching.

    Just watching the first Charles fight, and Marciano rabit punching is just terrible. He had Charles hurt, and he blatenly punchers Charles right on the back of the head.

    He also hit Don ****ell on the back of the head a bunch of times & Archie Moore.

    ATG fighter, but his rabbit punching was to far.

    One I've noticed from watching a lot of the all time greats: Most of them were guilty of fouling at one time or another lol


    Even Sugar Ray Leonard blatantly hit Hearns on the break during their second fight. Hagler angrily said "look how dirty Leonard is!"

      To be honest I think it was more of his wide, roundhouse shots missing, not intentionally rabbit punching. Jmo

        He was questioned once regarding the ****ell fight about his tactics.

        He said something to the effect of, "This is Boxing, not Chess!"

        I would not call Marciano a particularly clean fighter, to put it mildly. Plenty of great (& less-than-great) fighters bend or break the rules, though.

          Like been said before many fighters are guilty of dirty tactics.
          Ali used to hold behind the head an awful lot.
          George Foreman would push people away a la Frazier.
          and many more.

            Like Hatton alwasy said its boxing not a tickling contest!


            Ali was constantly clinching and pulling his opponents heads down, Trinidad would go low, Tyson would slam the elbows in, Foreman would shove u around, Holyfield was reckless with the head and so on so on, Rocky was a lil bit dirtier than most imo but its the referees job to stop it, if u can get away with it u do whatever it takes to win

              almost every a.t.g has a signature dirty move

              Hopkins' is the straight right followed by the straight headbutt

                He just throws punches, swarming all over opponents, it isn't intentional. His style was to wear down a fighter's guard this way, he was not concerned with accuracy. You're making the same gripes the British press did when he fought ****ell

                  Joe Louis might've been the cleanest of all the great Champs...at least at Heavyweight.

                    Frank Bruno was notorious for Rabbit-punching
