Fighters who fight like Rocky!

Vic "raging bull" Darchinyan. I'm sure lamotta would have no problem with this dude copying his nick name as he does fight like a bull.

None of them fights like Marciano, they don't edge slowly in close, keeping very low, and aren't as strong. Marciano is far cruder than even the average 4-6 rd fighter today. More of a bar room brawler.

Sorry, I looked only at the headline. Didn't think you meant a fictitious character, since this is a boxing site. My mistake, again, apologies.

Don't think anyone could fight like Rocky Baboa, since no one could take such massive amounts of the obviously impossible punishment, and even walk around the hospital bed in less than a month a couple of months. in fact I'd say 100% of fighters would have been beaten to death long, long before the screen fights ended. That's why I can't become entranced with a screen fight without being very conscious all the time that it is impossible.

The movie "rocky" was hardly even based on Rocky Marciano the fighter

and as far as bar room brawler, i'd say the real rocky had underrated skill as a boxer to catapult him to 49 (43) - 0 -0

fighters who fight like Rocky are fighters who we never hear about, the guy makes Margarito look like Pernell Sweet Pea.

This is just ******. JMM is a counter puncher with a lot of heart, rocky punching you back isn't exactly counter punching.

If you know your boxing history/know the story of rocky than you know that sly saw wepner/Ali live and was inspired by it to write rocky. I'd saw the best answers are Ward/gatti/katsidis for fighters in the last decade.
