Like any top ten list, there are plenty of fights out there we can include. These were highlights from some of the more highly publicized fights.

So far as I know he has only done the 50s so far.

- -Rocky opened the 50s with 3 Ring FOY and Carmen Basilio closed it with 5 Ring FOY.

Think about it.

Good find.


I am glad he mentioned Marciano LaStarza II. It always reminded me of the Special Olympics' answer to Dempsey vs. Tunney.

A good fight, though, if you can avoid the comparison. Marciano was a tank. Always improving.

And I love his feet. Watch his feet. It's really beautiful what he's doing.
