Looking at his body, you truly can see that it's pure clean training without steroids or extra muscle mass
Yeah, I don't know why boxers today want to have huge bodybuilder muscles. They clearly don't help with power and fuck up your speed agility, and stamina.
Rocky genrally had a narrow body structure. We dont all have the same body and some people just take steroids, it isn;t as black and white as that. Take Mike Tyson, he wasnt just a black marciano who did steroids, he had a larger frame that allowed bigger muscle tissue insertions and naturally wider shoulders and ribcage.
Donna Ya just pure functional muscle, no aesthetic muscles.
Hammering Hank strengh, explosive shots for example
M Lee He clearly didn't have a narrow body structure.
If the goal of the music selection was to make the viewer feel some kind of nostalgia,then it worked.
Exactly!
ΛΑΖΑΡΟΣ ΕΥΘΥΜΙΑΔΗΣ. Your right about that.
Miss the good old days

Charlie zeneloff is greatest fighter than me
I admire the kind of shape he was in and his record, but mostly what I like about him is that he seems like he was a decent guy.
He seemed like a great guy
Yeah unlike another certain undefeated boxer that runs and blocks all the time.
A lot of fighters are like that. Some of the kindest people you’ve ever met.
Marciano supposedly required underage girls to be provided after making paid appearances.
@@jchavari4318Floyd Mayweather junior is not undefeated and I tell you this as a former professional boxer
Marciano is an excellent example of what a man can accomplish only by his will and determination.He fought with heart.Anabolics were not an option back then.The only way up was the hard one.He shows that everything is possible.
Nice words champ!
Majima Mike and what do you do
Majima Mike jealous of What? and you dont even know me you probably do actually nothing like most people or what you just described most likely cause only that type of personal. would put a stupid picture on their profile
Deffidently
Could you imagine this man on steroids??
Best conditioned fighter who ever lived.. 49-0 43 KO's...champ from 1952-1956. HUGE heart....great stamina...great power...great chin...broke bones and blood vessels...very high work rate...never took a backward step...just kept coming. Classy and humble guy outside the ring. Died in airplane crash on August 31, 1969...the day before his 46th birthday.
+Jim Cushman Never knew how he passed...i bet this was Arturo's inspiration.
What about Armstrong, Greb, or Basilieo (Not to mention very old school guys that ran 20 miles and fought 20-45 rounds)
seriously 20 miles and 20 to 45 rounds ?? holy shit superhumans init
Jim Cushman serious question does lifting and throwing rocks help with strength because I see alot of Mexican boxers do it aswell
Jose Cedillo Yes, it helps with explosiveness. If you're in the city, away from nature the best thing to do is get some moderately heavyweight for an adjustable dumbbell and do snatch and press with them in power intervals of 1, at least 10x's. This way, you are training the nervous system to fire more muscle fibers which= more power. However that being said the focus should be speed and then power.
a true boxer and a real man.
Even Chuck Norris bows his head in reverence when his name is mentioned.
Lmao. He ain't. If he's so good then why was he ducking Liston and Patterson.
He didn't "duck" anyone. Liston wasn't ranked and didn't deserve a title shot...period. As far as Patterson, Cus d'amato wanted no part of Marciano and his plan for Patterson was to wait until Rocky retired and fight for the vacant title. Rocky took on every top contender of his era and beat them ALL. A feat no boxer has achieved since.
@@bunkman64 he might've fought all the fighters past their prime but that's because he fought legends like jersey joe and archir moore. Those guys were dominating the heavyweight division for years. its a fact that rocky had the greatest conditioning for a boxer in history.
I think you have me confused with another commenter. I have been defending Rocky and his record for YEARS.
It's amazing to see the shape and condition he was in without any of the modern technology we have today. No supplements, no strength and conditioning coaches, just good old fashion roadwork.
Ian Kendall that the best way to train
karan pkatarki couldn't agree more
AddictedTo Creepypasta best part about this guy is he is not a gifted fighter found his own unusual way of leaning fwd n fighting lead to finally in fighting best ex is Mike Tyson honest man but got corrupted I guess he didn't know what was distraction, no mentor but Mike Tyson made just too many bad choice in life
Tino Gisondi roadwork is running I believe .a term for. I don't know personally if running would help my stamina. Probably get me more tired haha.
Pure strength pure muscles.49-0 bby he is a legend..
Rocky Marciano was a brilliant fighter probably the Most well conditioned boxer of all time, His first fight with jersey joe Wallcott is a real classic.
But Wallcott was 38, way out of his prime...
@@TheRuljo Marciano was 32. Who cares it was still a great fight.
Muhammad Ali once said the one fighter he doesn't think he would be able to beat was rocky Marciano More Heart determination and desire to win than any other fighter in history
Bacon is good for me he never said anything that stupid Ali said he would easily beat Joe Louis or rocky
ban ojay Muhammad ali said he could beat joe Louis easily, Although he did say he's not sure about rocky Marciano, As marciano didn't have a style, He was just a guy who kept coming and coming, And never gave in, Ali actually had some very kind words to say about rocky.
ban ojay in fact he said "he was a better fighter then Frazier and you saw what Frazier did to me" Howard Kossel actualy had to prod him to get back into character and say he'd have won.
ruclips.net/video/GDaw2QFC1Qg/видео.html ban ojay lies go look at what ali said my friend even rocky as a old man hurt ali what do think a young rocky would do ?
@@banman49 he actually said it
He had the presence of a bare knuckle bar room brawler ,but the discipline, focus, concentration and professional approach of a gold medal athlete
Year beating up on old men is very impressive.idiot
+Roberto Day Joe Louis 36 ezzard Charles 32 archire Moore 37 jersey Joe wallcott 38 don cockel 27 Rex layne 23 lee salvold 32 Roland la starza 26 these guys are hardly old men even for boxers they ain't old considering George foreman won the world title at 48 the oldest fighter rocky fought was 38 so these guys are hardly old men looks like your the idiot I'm afraid!

He probably had stamina close to an olympic distance runner if not better...
15 miles right before a fight... And thats worked in with his normal training schedule, and his size. If he dedicated himself to marathon running he would've been great in that too
Lachlan 15 miles before an actual fight? 👀
@@LordLegender When guys who were more polished in the art of boxing started taking him down, he drew on his character and heart and beat them with that alone. Just amazing. I really love this guy.
He would often hike up to 15 miles a day,during training
I'd like to see one of those skinny Olympic distance runners go 15 rounds with Marciano Ha!
A TRUE MAN,A TRUE WARRIOR,A TRUE BOXER.MY IDOL, FOREVER ROCKY MARCIANO
"In my opinion, Marciano was the most underrated heavyweight of all time. He had so much morer than they ever gave him credit for. He was capable of getting these bigger, heavier guys and destroying them".
-Angelo Dundee
"His heart, she's so big, she does not believe in defeat. He'll fight anybody, and bleed and bleed and bleed, but he always comes back".

The choice of music for this montage is really good. So much better than the loud, in-your-face rubbish that normally accompanies these boxing videos. It reminds me of the opening of raging bull. It is also rather poignant, seeing this man in the prime of this life, smiling and training, knowing that his life would be cut tragically short. A great video all around, needs more views and appreciation.

I wonder

such a nostalgic video, I remember watching it 7 years ago, and it has always given me the same feeling of peace, seeing rocky training with that song in the background, as if life was just something fleeting but beautiful
My motivation when i hit the heavy bag is Rocky Marciano , kept me going for 30 years.

@Lord_Burlap Because you have a list of numbers relating to the weight of each fighter does not mean what you are saying is beyond debate. Heart , determination skill can not be measured in the same way .
Rocky Marciano was one very strong dangerous fighter. I wouldn't want to fight or get hit by him. I can't think of one fighter who could beat him in a 15 round fight if it went 15 rounds. His endurance was tremendous. He was just as dangerous in the 15th round as he was in the earlier part of the fight. You had to kill him to win. He'd fight you to the bitter end.
@Whammer79 hater … racist too
What a great fighter he was. What a great champion. My favourite fighter of all time.
This video makes me cry.
one of my fav fighters of all-time, his never say die and relentless style made him so hard to beat, great stamina, great chin, and that nonstop barrage of hard damaging punches meant he retired an unbeaten champion 49-0 43kos, great champ
Not hard to beat...impossible,he had an indomitable will and would not allow himself to be beat..RIP Rock!
R.I.P best fighter EVER!!!
Theres been far to many excellent fighters in too many generations to call just on of them the best sugar ray robinson joe louis mohammed Ali sugar ray leanord and thats just a few
@Dennis he said best fighter ever, not best boxer ever
@@jimmycahill1347 sugar ray leonard was a cheat though
How was he a cheat?
Chuck Norris - "No Dennis, He's right."
I respect this man. He was one of a kind...
You can teach someone how to throw a punch right. You can teach somebody how to bob and weave, and slip punches. You can teach footwork. You can't teach heart, desire, and a "never-say-die" attitude. And Marciano has more heart than almost anybody in his era. The guy just flat out wouldn't quit.
Rocky Marciano is the greatest boxer of all time in my book, the man was just the best of his time and is the only person to hold the heavyweight title and go untied and undefeated throughout his career!
Everything Rocky did in training had a purpose. Analyze how he moved his head on the speed bag. See how he uses the exact same movements in his fights. It wasn't just power in his hands which were very small and fragile. It was the positioning from where he threw his shots. Notice how his inside boxing on the heavy bag was meant to breakdown and destroy his opponent never giving them a chance to breathe. More so than just outworking his opponent he would out think the unfortunate man. I mean.. If it came down to it he'd just crush your head with the overhand right and don't think you could hide. Ducking or leaning down to avoid his punches would result in a smooth bludgeoning to the back or top of the head as seen in his KO of Ezzard Charles. He was always thinking in the ring. A true professional. I won't say he's the best ever but I can say he was a blessing to the sport. Someone any boxer from any era could learn from. RIP ROCKY..
Chadwick Allen ...Excellent objective analysis.
all true and his trainer was right up there at the top of the very best ever to help teach ROCKY everything You just said ps I've watch all these amateur boxes especially hitting the speed bag lol oh yes so fast and rythum and with their elbows even BUT that helps verrrrrry little the way Rocky was taught to hit it made so much sense and that was ,,top struggle with the speed bags movement like it was a real persons head :)
Notice how he hid behind his shoulder when he jabbed to protect overhand rights.
"Small fragile hands" What!!! He had batons as fists. They were enormous. Besides that good analysis
The greatest boxer to ever walk on the ring with the best conditioning
Marciano is one of my all time favourite fighters, The first jersey joe wallcott fight and the 2 ezzard charles fights really stand out, I have them on DVD, There great fights to watch real classics.
Ezzard Charles was a highly skilled boxer...
relentless ,big heart,tough mother, punches came from many angles other than his chin IMO that was one of his greatest assets
Totally see now where Stallone got his inspiration from for Rocky! Great fighter
Actually Stallone got his inspiration for the Rocky character from a club fighter named Chuck Wepner. He got a shot at Mohammad Ali and knocked Ali down in the 9th round with a body shot. Ali got pissed and for the remainder of the match turned Chuck's face into hamburger, however, Chuck just kept coming at him. Here is a link to the knockdown. ruclips.net/video/oLA8HIAQEzU/видео.html
@@bunkman64 the story might be inspired by wepner but the brawler style was from Marciano
HEROES GET REMEMBERED,BUT LEGENDS NEVER DIE!😎🇮🇹☝️🐐
In the blue corner the Greatest of all Time Rocky Marciano!!!!'
It's impossible to fully appreciate the level of determination and the pure, unadulterated HARD WORK required to achieve Rocky's level of fitness. I believe most of what makes elite athletes great is a product of nature - can't be taught/learned. But extreme fitness is not as dependent upon superior genetics, so it *can* be achieved if one has the iron will and single-minded purpose that drove The Brockton Blockbuster! A good - but not great - natural athlete...5"10"...68" reach..not graceful...not especially quick or fast..and fighting [and BEATING] the heavyweight champs of his era at an average of 185 lbs! It simply doesn't matter where Rocky Marciano ranks among the all-time greats. Those are academic arguments never to be won. What matters is this man absolutely *maximized* his potential, which can [and should] serve as a genuine inspiration for all of us.
Jake Mitchell your perspective is spot on.
Nature vs Nurture, the ongoing battle/debate that will never end. One could argue however that Marciano's genes also included the same heart and determination that drove him to train as hard and as maniacally as he did.
What made marciano really strong wasnt his body size, they said his back muscles were really amazing. must be where he got his power from.
Back, shoulders and legs
In boxing speed and power comes from central nervous system in your head, experience in a boxing ring, and punching technique. So talking about muscles here is absolutely pointless.
@@lulolee5325 So strenght is worthless ay?
In spring of 1955 went with my father to watch Rocky Marciano train for the May Hvwt title fight against Brit champ Don Cockell. The fight was in SF but Marciano trained in Calistoga, 25 miles north of Napa, CA. This was Italian country, and I remember Marciano riding up and down the streets of Napa in a Lincoln convertible. A crowd gathered and you'd think Garibaldi himself had arrived.
I'll never forget Marciano's punching power close up; he knocked the bag off the hook...KO'd DC in 9.
Tragedy what happened to this man, dead in 69’ day before his birthday. He was and still is a role model to many including myself, he left behind a hell of a legacy which is yet to be beaten. Rest easy champ, keep punching Rock 🥊
hey, don’t quote me on this but i think mayweather beat him with going 50-0. but rocky marciano is the greatest boxer of all time. he would kill mayweather!
@@chrismcfaggons6694 that is correct friend Mayweather did beat Marciano’s unbeaten streak but to me The Rock had a legacy of toughness, endurance and shown a lot of dexterity when outmanoeuvring and brutally KOing his opponents - in that sense of the word I believe his legacy is still unchallenged.
This song and this video help me a lot in a very difficult moment of my life, thanks for so much.
HW Goat. no need to talk trash just pure action,
Rocky was the champ of champions. Nobody was like him before or since. Pro record: 49-0 w/43 KO's. Rest in peace, champ.
The champ of all time!
Absolutely love Rocky
Used to be in camp for months on end........machine !!!!
Rocky was a humble human person/ feeling for others.
Just looking at his body, you can tell that he was pure in every workout. He was one in a million and never lost a single fight. A great champ. r.i.p.
Fighters were probably way tougher back then.
George Donaldson In wat way?
They had gloves that were far less padded.
CHAiRBORNE and a 15 round system.
Justin Edwards I would say tougher and had honour but don't say intelligent and integrity
People in my community during way back were pretty bad trust me
Toughness or no toughness is simply AWARENESS.
Back then, the tolls of fighting its accompanying injuries were far less known. If you arent AWARE of your pain and how it is slowing you down then you can and will be tougher.
Even the simple thought of “why do i do this for a living” which enters every fighter’s, military man, or person who otherwise risks his life for a living was far less apparent because there was simply far less opportunity back then. Not to mention not everyone was saying “you can be whatever you want to be”.
You were what you were and were proud of it. No social media to approve of what you do for a living or even what you did that day.
“When a bird falls and can no longer fly it does not feel sorry for itself”
Gone too soon at 45 a day before his 46th. RIP rocco. Thank you for the great stories of your bouts and your impeccable style.
I really like the speed bag footage. reminds me of watching tyson on the speed bag when he would randomly start slipping and moving his head from the speed bag like marciano is doing
He copied jack Dempsey and rocky Marciano style and aggression .watched tapes ,video etc.
My all time favourite. I've been an amateur boxing coach for twenty years. Rocky was the man. Thank you for uploading this footage of him.
Humans were never meant to fly, two of my hero's dead from crashes, Rocky in a plane crash, SRV in a helicopter crash, sad times :(
Amazing video, The music selection is perfect. Mr.Marciano was a real champ.
Nothing but Respect.
Ezzard Charles was only about a year or two old than Marciano. Walcott was the champ when Marciano took his title. The dude was phenomenal!
Walcott was 38 (!!) when he lost the fight. If a 38 year old Walcott can outbox Rocky for 13 rounds, then a young fast strong Walcott should have no problems with him.
@@TheRuljo age wasn't relevant, he fought the best fight of his whole career until the ko. His speed and footwork was there, his defense was great as well as his head movement and counter punching. Also dont forget that rocky didnt start boxing until he was 25 so it wasnt like he had the advantage in experience. Rocky was unnaturally tough and had incredible endurance as well as power. Also joe had a weight advantage. He was heavier and faster than rocky at 38 and if he was 28 he would have had the same advantage. It didn't work at 38 and it still wouldnt work at 28. Anyway Joe was better in his later years though. Had his most impressive fights and won the belt.
@@TheRuljo Your wrong and plain ignorant...That WAS one of if not the best performance of Walcott's career...up there with the first Louis fight, which he won in reality..
Used to watch this when I was 18 so about 12 years ago, had been boxing for 3 years, crazy coming across this video again. Memories :') thanks for keeping this one up
Simply the Greatest Who Ever Lived, bar none.
I know I am going to get a lot of hate for this but Ali would of beat him, Liston would have beat him, Foreman would have beat him, Holmes would have beat him, Tyson would have beat him, Lewis would have beat him. How do you figure he is the best ever? He fought nothing but bums and only fought old men during his very brief title reign. This is the truth.
Stalker Walker Ok so in your opinion you would think that fighter A who is 30-0 who fought nothing but tomato cans is better than fighter B who is 28-2 but fought nothing but hall of famers? Quality rather than quantity is the ultimate signifier of boxing greatness.
***** all of the were on the down side of their career. The average age of his opponents in championship fights was 39!. Look at his record only 4 were against fighters in the hall of fame and they were all very old and past there primes. The 45 other fighters he faced were bums/journeymen. Can't come close to comparing this guy to the likes of Ali. Also his career was short, if he fought on for as long as Ali did he would have suffered several losses and nobody would be saying anything about him.
***** I am not a hater. I agree that Rocky was a splendid fighter. But when you bestow the title of "Greatest of all time" on him, that unequivocally assumes that you are comparing him to other fighters of different eras. You can't logically give him that title if your reasoning for such is solely based on what he did in his era alone. If you want the title you've put on Rocky to match your argument then you should call him, "the greatest fighter of his generation/era. Then I would have no quarrel with you sir. I am going to assume this is a HW discussion and not a P4P one, in which case Sugar Ray Robinson would be called "the greatest of all time" and no amount of subjectivity on anyone's part could change that fact.
Bascorasco
Dont underestimate him.
He had devastating knockout power and he was a tough son of a bitch.
He would have had a punchers chance.
Such a handsome man.
There's nothing like the old school :)
Rocky was incredibly tough. He got his nose split to ribbons and still kept fighting, winning the match when most fighters would've been psychologically destroyed
This makes me so happy for some reason lol
Me, too, Sean. It's because we're listening to fine music synchronized with the performance of one of the greatest of all time.
he was amazing, never heard of a fighter like him before, someone who never lost a single fight in his career. God rest his soul
This man is truly an inspiration he’s one of the all time greats Rest In Peace champ this man is a legend
No one ever beat him, he had stamina, and a exceptionally durable chin. Marciano maybe the greatest of them all.
I love this footage, this man knew his skills were not as good as some but Rocky,s durability, conditioning and sheer hitting power made up for all that.
We should mention his trainer Charley Goldman a great boxer in his day who changed Rocky,s technique, stance, balance.
Rocky will always be the main man in my eyes
His skills were great for his body type! If you do a film study on him you will see many subtleties in what he does, especially his defense and the way he set up punches. With his very low sideways crouch he eliminated a central line of attack from the other fighters jabbing and straight/overhand right hand and he crossed his left foot to gain distance with his left hook. Plus from that crouch he was able to throw his right from unorthodox angles that other fighters didn't train to defend from so his power took its toll and They were rarely un a position to be effective against him because of that. The experience must have been nightmarish and different while fighting him than it was to watch him. What the saw as flaws was actually his strengths.
Thank you for choosing nice music. Not sure why many content creators feel the need to use something rude, crude, aggressive, intense...either heavy metal or rap/hip-hop. This music just supports the video footage without drawing undue attention to itself. Toward the end I'm not clutching the arms of my chair feeling anxious! Much appreciated.
Agreed.
The Rock's high level training and incredible stamina gave him the ability to keep coming on even during brutal, long fights. His opponents would marvel at Rocky's ability to keep throwing punches at a fast clip so there was no escaping because he never backed up. He was strong but he was lean. He was losing on points to Jersey Joe Walcott who was a brilliant defensive fighter and a great boxer but Marciano kept comin until he caught Walcott with a crushing right that ended it, one of the most devastating punches in boxing history. Jersey Joe was a bigger man but Rocky stalked him until he finished it. 49-0
The Marciano
Machine
Does not get tired
Good video
It is a quality piece
also with the instrumental
The Best of the Best!
And Still the Heavyweight Champion of The World Rocky Marciano 49n0 R.I.P Champ.
He's the best hw
the most beautiful music you could possibly put to a clip like this.
making the training and sparring to be so poeticly beautiful.
bring memories and thoughts of an era sinces past away
Phenomenal shape
One of the hardest workers. Always putting in the miles behind the scenes.
Il più grande di tutti !!!!!💪👊
Si. Suo fisico appare privo della muscolatura voluminosa odierna, eppure la sua potenza è stata micidiale per tutti. Nessuno ha saputo resistergli, neppure il grande Walcott. Evidentemente, la potenza distruttiva è slegata da muscoli appariscenti. Per me, avrebbe distrutto anche il grande Ali. Inarrivabile Rocky! Troppo forte e troppo determinato...Roberto
He had a natural instinct to train hard.....and fight even harder,..and that gave him the edge over everyone he fought,...it wasn't just his power,....but his intense self belief,....he couldn't lose,.....and never did....a true warrior of the ring
The habit of stating some up and coming fighter would have beat Marciano is about as useful as saying if I had known today's lottery ticket numbers yesterday I would have won big time!. Many great fighters tried and failed to beat Marciano - he paid his dues- the guy was the one and only Heavyweight Champion who's ever retired undefeated- and no amount of wishing will take that title away from him. He was one great fighter and showing respect to him should be common sense but common sense isn't as common as it once was- especially in the younger fight crowd.
Yeah I agree! I also see these people criticizing him for retiring at the age he did,the fact is he was smart enough to know when he was losing his skill unlike most other champions who go until they lose 5 times,he is probably the only fighter to admit he couldn't keep up with all these younger fighters one after another.
+Aikidobear129 I couldn't agree more. As a young boy, I used to hate watching sports documentaries my dad put on, like he would about Rocky. Now, as an adult, I realize how important it was to my father to relive this fighter, and ultimately, how important it is to me now.

I know how you feel Carey- like most things in live we don't really appreciate them until there gone. I have fought most of my life and love watching the old fight films- my favorite of all time has to be Jack Demsey- a man definitely ahead of his time- next Rocky Marciano followed by Mike Tyson.
Well said
Aikidobear129, it's the comment that makes most sense and best describes who and what Marciano is and did. In addition I can only say he started boxing at the age most of the legends then and now became champions. And for a short period of time he did what same those do for an entire career (around 20 years).
Even though I may not know much about Rocky Marciano I know he was a humble, and respected man. He was a great man and a great boxer of his time. This video is great the choice of music fits it so good. Probably watched this 10 times already.
I firmly believe that he would have defeated Joe Louis and Muhammad Ali in their prime. Marciano is definitely the hardest puncher in boxing history.
I remember my father telling me when he saw this man box . The entire crowd were on their feet to try to prepare to catch the anticipating for ever great moment of delivering a great knock out . My father said they never realized that they were living in the universe of this mans era .
marciano and ali, best of all times.
Rocky was a good man, humble, came from a good Italian God fearing family, he was a great American, a Soldier that fought for his country in and out of the ring. It's amazing that Rocky is never mentioned in any of the boxing video games or recalled often by many modern commentators today...he was the only to date undefeated champion, regardless of style he is still the only undefeated Champion period!!! Why doesn't he get me appreciation and honored more in todays mainstream boxing...
Fuckin legend.
Just how will you put Rocky in the 60's n 70's? Its all hypothetical, he was the best of his era and his legend speaks for itself and those who care to move forward his legacy.
Cool stuff
Beautiful...... Like a well built Marlon Brando. He didn't come to just win through brute force, but set his opponents up and crushed them on the inside with short punches.
That song reminds me of my childhood
Boxings Best aww hope it brings back happy memories
Amazing how boxing training is so unique amongst sports in how the old style training techniques have endured as essential without being displaced by newer technology.
Wins 49
Defeat 0
Just legend
the more i see of marciano,the more im impressed.superb condition,leverage,and punching mechanics in general
Tan solo 86 kilos pero hasta el momento sigue siendo el único campeón invicto de los pesos pesados, solo una palabra lo describe "tenacidad"
Its just amazing to watch him. You see him go at it and you can see why he was undefeated every time he swings it just looks like hes got sledge hammers for hands.
Greatest fighter
He had phenomenal punching power and stamina. His opponents all said that.
wicked cool vid. thanks for posting
THANK YOU SOOO MUCH FOR UPLOADING THIS RARE FOOTAGE OF MY NUMBER 1 ALL TIME FAVOURITE LEGEND - ROCKY MARCIANO!!! :-)
This footage was shot at Grossinger's in the Catskills. The quonset hut at 3:45 is gone but the foundation is still there. It can be seen here binged.it/1OffoVf as the large white rectangle at the top right. The farmhouse where he lived was in the lower left surrounded by the bushes that form 3 sides of a square. If you're a Rocky fan it's worth the pilgrimage to stand with greatness.
The heart this man had, only Ali comes close. Pound for pound, in my estimation, best pure fighter ever.
His power came from his legs
igor stein lol xD
+Jarrod Dennis - Tyson didn't have the chin or the stamina that Marciano had.
igor stein yes you are correct he had tree trunk legs and a strong torso his trainer States in his book stand still and throw a punch then use your legs and torso and throw a punch that's where his power came from also his trainer said Marciano would always train the legs and torso more than upper body he was only 5 10 but mentally very strong take care igor
Thank you for sharing this. I am a huge Rocky Marciano fan.
No finess with him but you dont need finess to be a killer. He was just one rough and rugged guy with a body made of granite and and an endless gas tank. It must have been a nightmare of an experience for the guys that fought him
He was very well named. “Rocky”
And Still the Heavyweight Champion of. The World Rocky Marciano 49n0 R.I.P Champ.
Rocky was as strong as an ox.
Lou -- thanks for giving the old time fighters the respect they deserve. They are amazing still.
The size of that bag tho
CrazyGreek Guru 136 kilos. 300 pounds exactly
I heard someone say that he put chains in his heavy bag is that true ?
Surely an all-time great, what fluidity of movement...watching good boxing truly is poetry in motion, I love it!
