If Rocky Marciano would of..........

How do you know that? You have supernatural powers? Its ****** to act like someone who predicts things that never happened. Some of you are taking this boxing fantasy way too far.

Rocky Marciano
Only champion without flaws.
Only Champion to retire undefeated.
Highest KO% ever.

Just want to point out how great he was before you guys start insulting him again.

care to elaborate on this?

care to elaborate on this?

Why do you think he stayed undefeated and looked in shape every fight ? He trained and fought every second of his fights, showing some determenation never seen before or after. So many champions have looked out of shape because they didn't train or weren't foccused. Also, they fought on when they weren't in their primes annymore and got beat up. Rocky had the perfect career.

Why do you think he stayed undefeated

Because he had a short career fighting nobody's.

He trained and was more dedicated than your boys Ali and Foreman. Ali has been out of shape a lot of times in the ring, and Foreman, he should've retired early. I give him more credit.

Why do you think he stayed undefeated?

because he fought bums. watcott, charles, an old joe louis, and moore is nothing special. all of these guys besides joe louis lost like a gazillion times before they fought marciano in the first place.

Foreman, he should've retired early.

He did but he came back to life like ET and kicked everyones ass. And maybe Marciano did train harder but he was slow in the ring and struggled against guys that would be eaten alive by my so called boys Ali and Foreman.

He also had many faults in the ring and only fought with one simple style.

but when ali was focused, nothing could stop him. i don't know why there is this misconception that ali didn't like to train. ask people like larry holmes how dedicated ali was in training? besides marciano, nobody trained as hard as ali for a fight. the guy was a gym rat.

Marciano's career was longer then fraziers by more then 10 fights so its not like he had the shortest career, Marciano was great and would have been better if he had fought in Ali's time because there was more avalible, just as there's more avalible today then back then. Marciano's not really crude he had a tendency to look awkward when he missed. His style was great, defense straight to offense, and punch that could bring men 200Lbs+ down. Its funny how ppl say well if tyson used those gloves or frazier or whoever used them would have done just as much damage, if i'm not mistaken they've used 10 oz gloves as a standard since after the 20's.

He mixed it up, could bring nearly any hw ever down with a few combinations (not really a dramatization),KO power in either hand

people don't regard him as the greatest, which is fine it may be because he was very humble and not flashy but the point is he was a great fighter and you can't take 49-0 away from him

and unlike other hw he never needed like 6 months to train he was always conditioned, 2 months before a fight he'd kick it up and do double everything to be ready so, 49-0, highes ko rate, hell of a punch,trained religiously, humble, not much more you could ask of a hw champion

Highest ko rate, yes, but it sure wouldn't have been the highest ko rate if he fought as many fights as George Foreman did.

[butterfly1964]

Highest ko rate, yes, but it sure wouldn't have been the highest ko rate if he fought as many fights as George Foreman did.

yeah, foreman had a 92 or 93% ko rate before he came back in 1987.
