rocco marcigiano=how to make it the hard way

[Fox McCloud]

Yeah, he started boxing late at 25, while he was serving in the army. His amateur record isn't that good: 8 wins and 4 losses.

He trained like no other heavyweight. It wasn't out of the ordinary for him to run 12 miles everyday. This really helped his stamina. He also followed a very strict diet plan that consisted of only one big meal a day.

As for his punching power, he would hit a 300 pound heavy bag and would actually make it move. He thought that if he could make a 300 pound heavy bag move, he could also make a 200 pound opponent move.

He got through his career with toughness, heart and the never lose attitude.

Damn... I wish I could get ahold of a 300 pound punching bag. I have a 70 pound one, and don't like how much it moves when I hit it. I'd rather just feel like I was hitting a wall, that doesn't break my hand.

never even knew max baer had a brother..im learning something today

Yup Buddy Baer, was pretty successful not so much as Max though, he was at the end of his career when Louis fought him.

I like Rocky, decent Heavyweight and a fantastic display of dedication and heart, I think that if he came a long a few years earlier he'd be remembered as a much greater HW then he is now though, if he could get past a earlier Joe Louis anyway, few years later and he'd have to deal with Liston don't favor his chances in that fight.

Over rated by some but he tend to get under rated by more.

explain..he foguth everyone in the division,he ducked no 1 and defended his ttile and retired undefeated

The division had Marciano, Archie Moore, Jersey Joe Walcott, Ezzard Charles, Roland LaStarza, Rex Layne, Nino Valdes, Bob Baker and Bob Satterfield at the top along with upcoming fighters such as Floyd Patterson, Cleveland Williams, Sonny Liston, Zora Folley and Ingemar Johansson

The division was an aging divison with new boys like Pretty Boy Patterson ready to take over.

It was pretty weak tbh, there notable names but they were old. Charles and Walcott were pretty good when they were older but werent as great as they were before.

People say he ducked Patterson but thats just a myth...

impossible to be overated with those names on your resume..i didnt include louis cause well we all know why

the copy of the louis fight that i have the commentator says before the fight that louis is the favorite to win so he should be given more credit for the win than he gets. i dont think the fight was considered a huge mismatch at the time, at least judging by the copy of the fight that i have and the commentary.
