At 7:06 Walcott is asked who was the hardest puncher he ever faced in the ring. Walcott starts to answer by saying “Marciano was one” but “I faced a lot of hard punchers in the 30’s”. He didn’t get to elaborate but he was about to say Tiger Jack Fox. I interviewed Walcott in 1974 and I asked him who was the greatest fighter he every fought was. He responded that the greatest fighter he ever fought was Tiger Jack Fox. Fox knocked me out in our first fight and decisioned me in our second fight. I rank Fox ahead of Joe Louis, Rocky Marciano, Ezzard Charles, Joe Baski, - - - all of them. I learned more in fighting Fox than I did in all my other fights in my entire career. There wasn’t anything that Fox couldn’t do in that ring and do well. *** He was one of our greatest fighters.”
Do you remember 🎶 Cocoa Kid who knocked out Sugar Ray Robinson twice. There is platoon of unnamed boxers never got a chance because of boxing politics.
Warner wolf turns 4 different colors when ROCKY was talking how he hated different ethnicities. The man was being honest. In his era this was common. Look at how Warner Wolf melted like RICOTTA.
I agree. And I think if he wasn't in the plane crash and put in a full body cast for 6 months his record would've been better. 62-0 to start his career, and then lost a UD to win 72 straight after his first loss. He once said if Sugar Ray Robinson is the greatest pound for pound then I'm the greatest ounce for ounce lol.
The point rocky is making when he says "I didn't like black guys, Spanish guys, Irish guys" he's very being honest like few of us will, he's not prejudiced - he just won't be afraid of the politically correct BS out there. That's the way it often is, you naturally stick with your own - but then he says "but after boxing all these guys, then I learned to respect each of them". That's Rocky keeping it real...
Fred Freddy I could see where some people could get offended, but I actually understood exactly what he meant , he hated everybody equally. Many ethnicities chose to ‘stay with their own’, which is their prerogative .
Even back then people were too PC to discuss reality (he had preconceived notions about men based on color/ethnicity and then became aware of his own misconceptions and grew from it).
I read Rocky's books years ago, they all stuck to their own locality and ethnicity everyone else from outside of it was kind of hated , and it was exactly the same in return
@@chucknchar I have a Sept. 1965 Ring boxing magazine that interviews Jersey Joe after the rematch. "Phantom Punch , Hell. " This Kid has speed in his hands and feet like a welterweight. He hits like a heavyweight. He puts his punches together better than heavyweight champion I've ever seen. He could beat Dempsey,, Louis, Marciano, and me. Dempsey and louis and the rest of us would be too small to beat this big rangy kid. The right hand punch that Ali dropped Liston with is one of the most devasting punches I've ever seen. Sonny was hurt real bad." Ali is decpetive. His punches are so fast and sharp. Ali never gave me a chance to start counting. I couldn't hear the count. Ali was like a wild man , running around the ring and shouting for him to get up.. That's about the summary of the article. Walcott may have changed his opinion later on.
I respect Rocky, HIS racism is not ignorant, but real as the mean streets of New York. Plus he said he hated fighting blacks out of respect. Respect those fast twitch
Rocky Graziano just Jake LaMotta you actually sign the fight Jake LaMotta and he chickened out use afraid of Jake LaMotta so for all his brother do he was scared of Jake LaMotta that's why he didn't fight him and I like the way he changes the subject when want to ask him why he didn't fight Jake LaMotta he should man up and tell the truth he was scared of him
@@BillyBob-ec5ox maybe, but his hand healed and he had ample opportunity to fight lamotta but didn't. He could have just postponed it a few months not totally back out or run away
Read my comment above. Rocky is explaining how boxing helped him to respect all people regardless of their ethnicity. Racism is learned through the ignorance of those around us as children. This man is explaining how boxing taught him to shed racism have a new awareness. The host is a moron for not fortifying the point Rocky is trying to make but Floyd Patterson gives Rocky a pat on the back letting him know he understands the point, is not insulted and that he gets it. Rocky found redemption through boxing.
Rocky was talking about his youth when all the different ethnic groups Italian Irish Hispanic black etc all lived in their own areas never mixed and all saw each other as the enemy'

I've never heard of Tiger Jack Fox before but he seems underrated. Gonna look him up

Do you have a link to that interview? I'd be very interested in watching it.
I can't get over how knowledgeable the interviewer is. Wow!

Arrrgh " jOE DID YOU SEE THE PHANTOM PUNCH?",,,"Beg your pardon?" BZZZ I wanted that answer so bad.
Me too, Walcott was the referee for that fight. That was the most interesting question of the whole show and it gets cut before he answers
With a record of 229-11-1 I consider Pep to be the greatest pfp fighter ever... and seeing how lucid he was here is even more amazing !
I agree.

Agree ! Undefeated until the plane crash when told he never would fight again ! Came back and won again ! Greatest
Most elusive ever
Dream fight Willie Pep vs Nicole Locce
God bless you!
This was great to watch real men back in day! Thanks for posting this! 🥊🇺🇸

he is basically saying he was ignorant until he got in the ring and gained mutual respect after hand-to-hand contact, or first hand experience.
@@supra1722 Exactly.
I read Rocky's books years ago, they all stuck to their own locality and ethnicity
everyone else from outside of it was kind of hated , and it was exactly the same in return
Great upload, never seen this before
Video goes off when talking about the “fathom punch”, much like the Ali Liston rematch... LOL
Ditto Vince, I sure would have liked to hear Joe's response.

This shows that boxing once meant something. Cannot blame MMA. The powers that be are killing the goose that lays the golden eggs.

What personalities.
8:55 Ali vs. Joe Louis according to Jersey Joe Walcott

"THOMAS ROCCO BARBELLA"...
martadoso9 I don’t know why Rocky Graziano always says that his real name was Rocco Barbella.
(9:57) that man was so lucky to receive a blessing like that!!!🤤😨
3:26 you see the reporter question where Rocky was going after admitting to his racism 😭 “which I hated” geez
Anywhere that has the whole show?

3:23 we can all solve racism if we punch eachother in the damn face lol , Paterson is such a good guy patting the back of a bigot
