Rocky Marciano, a true gent!

After watching this interview he did, I was amazed how intelligent modest honest and clear he spoke! When you consider the amount of punches he walked through in his 49 fight unbeaten career its quite incredible that he shows no signs of being punchy at all!
Every boxer and true boxing fan out there should watch this and appreciate how a boxer can behave and still be a TRUE WARRIOR today (carl froch being one of many) you dont need to be full of shat, honesty and modesty gets you far more respect, rocky marciano, a true gent and a true champion who really had something to boast about but never did!

Thats class!

RIP

Ali was greater. He fought a bettet calibre of fighter and came out on top. Being undefeated is meaningless when fighting poor opponents.

It really is that simple.

I just give up , Im just wasting my breath! What do you mean better calibre of opponents, can you prove that, can anyone prove that? The effing Brazil side of the 70s is regarded as the greatest football team of all time but they would of got murder today you clown! Its what you did in your time that counts! Ali's era was more competative at the top but thats not to say they were better its just rocky was so much better than his! So would you of called a division in the 50s with 5 rockys all at the top all beating each other in classic fights the greatest fighters or the greatest era, big difference!

You really are a muppet. It is generally accepted that this era of hw boxing is pretty dire. Say for example Deo Wilder cleans up and retires will you suggest with any seriousness that he could be classified as the greatest ever (if he has 50 fights)?

JMM is average. Look at the ease in which Floyd schooled him and how TB easily beat him. Very average fighter.

north, you are calling Rocky the greatest ever by being subjective. Very subjective. He was the best of his era. Nothing more. By saying the greatest you are comparing him to others and also in effect comparing his era with others.

You can't just say that because he was undefeated he is the greatest ever because that in essence is comparing eras.

You have already proved you nothing about boxing history by calling don cockell, dan honestly how can I take anything you say seriously!
D4 said 'you must of fogotten alot' I disagree with him for once cause I doubt you really new anything to start with!
We will have to leave this alone now because your unfortunately to far gone to listen, brain washed with all this ali hysteria, its a shame but there are many like you, so you dont need to feel alone, but thanks for the debate anyway!
