What a great man Mr Vingo was. I grew in Woodlawn, NY in the Bronx. It was a dominant Irish area and still pretty much is to this day. The street we lived on Oneida Ave had a deli where all the old school Irish amd Italian guys all hung out. Carmine was one of them. Wishing I knew then what I know now about him. He was a generous man who loved kids and watching us play all different sports. He called me "Little Bambino" because I was like 5 years younger than all the other kids I played baseball with, but, I hung with them better than the guys their own age. Carmine used to always tell me "Don't let anyone ever mistreat you, talk down to you, or try to take advantage of you as long as you live. God, I miss those days. RIP to all the true old school warriors of the Bronx who raised me. Youre all missed
Hy from another Brian and those days were so good and so simple. My family came from Ireland and the neighborhood was off the boat people mostly Irish and Italian. Those guys were so tough and most were kind hearted and carefree. I miss all of them and life in a simpler time, thank you, Brian
Brian those were the good ole days... It sounds like you might have a few year's on me my Friend!! You keep safe 🙏 because we're not in the good Ole day's anymore... Interesting Story Brian....
In 1976, Muhammad Ali was interviewed by Howard Cosell on ABC's Wide World of Sports. He said of Marciano "Rocky Marciano was tougher than Joe Frazier and he'd be my toughest opponent." Muhammad also said "He was better than Frazier and you know what Frazier did to me." That's good enough for me.
@@damage6836 Ali could only win by running for 12 rounds. If the Rock caught him he’d be in big trouble. Bear in mind that Rocky was fitter than Ali, and harder. He cannot be knocked out.
When he said that, i became a fan of Ali. Such honesty. I don't know if Marciano would have beat Ali, but just from Ali's statement i think it is possible.
The injury’s he gave where insane but yes Frazier was tough but rock was built differently tough and hit hard . As too what Frazier did too Ali Ali made a mistake twice with Frazier he made him angry .
I get tired of people talking shit about Rocky Marciano, anytime someone does something great you have these scumbags that have to tear them down, he was a great fighter.
Yeah there's these black people promoters that ruin everything just to get more money for their shit business that probably sells barbie dolls, they judge a BOXER by digital stats, but people having a high loss count in that era means that the era was extremely hard to outshine without getting defeated. It was a competitive era, yet people still say everyone are bums just by judging digital stats and weight. They would put a random guy 10-20 pounds heavier than Rocky Marciano to beat him and that guy would still miserably fail, possibly even die if Rocky Marciano wasn't so polite.

Vingo was a real tough guy and probably on his way to a belt at some point, its a shame his career had to end. He gave rocky such a rough time and as far as how good he was that's all we need to know.
@@seniordavidmanderson9232 I read about the fight, vingo was giving as good as he was getting early on. Rocky said it was one of his toughest fights as well.
@@seniordavidmanderson9232 that's wild, I know rocky is a monster to fight but its always been my understanding vingo was holding his own early on, that's what I've read but it's not surprising rocky would do so much damage, he's hurt and damaged many other fighters without being hurt himself.
@@kevindocherty8292 he had 1 loss going into the Marciano fight not 2 and that was a close fight. No i am not a casual fan, I am a fan fan and I was a fighter and assistant trainer and I know my way around boxing history. As I said in my initial comment, vingo gave rocky a rough fight at least for a bit of time and was only going to get better until his career ended. He had good athletic ability, he was tough and technically decent and the fact that he had the physical tools to give rocky such a tough fight for some time if you ask me made him better than most at that point in time.
I think Rocky would have performed better in the first LaStarza fight if it were not for that fact that he was gun shy after the Vingo fight. Regardless of what this narrator says, I think there was still some residual reluctance on Rocky's part to go all out.
Vingo nearly died ...and he was left partially paralyzed after the Marciano fight! Rocky paid his medical bills and Vingo was well enough to attend Marciano's marriage to Barbara Cousins.

In the old days trainers didn't signify the importance of the jab. Most fights were slug fests. Todays' fighters are more technical. Marciano was a little guy, compared to todays muscular fighters.
They always talk of rocky punching power but their been lots of heavy punchers and all big men hit hard. But what sets him apart is his endurance he never goes backwards all his oppent can do is either meet him and stand with him which is what he wants or spend every round going backwards which burns up 2much energy and eventually the ropes turn up and either way he's still coming straight forward must of been so hard to fight against because he would just throw punches in such volume that some had to strike home .very very hard man
Exactly! Rocky was a DEVASTATING PUNCHER, but not just that. Rocky could take the toughest and most brutal of punches by any man and what made him even more dangerous. You just couldn’t hurt the guy! You’d have be pretty desperate or have a few loose screws to go into the ring with this kind of fighter. Ezra Charles hit Rocky with everything he had, his best and most powerful punch, on his chin, and knocked Rocky down on the ring floor for exactly 2 seconds. Rocky got up and shook it off like it was nothing. You know that had to have an enormous effect on Ezra after that. He was probably thinking to himself “OH FUCK ME, I’M IN FOR EITHER A LONG PAINFUL NIGHT OR A REAL SHORT ONE.”
@@pipewelda You're thinking of Joe Walcott because besides him, only the Old Mongoose/Moore knocked Marciano down for 3-4 seconds/flash knockdowns. Walcott was dominating Marciano for 12 rounds by 8-4 on two score cards and by 7-5 on the other scorecard and Rocky was told that he better go for a KO in the 13 th round and Rocky's KO Punch in the 13th round against Walcott was one og the greatest KO punches of all-time. Ezzard was the only fighter to go 15 rounds against Marciano in a very close fight. In their 2nd fight, Charles split Rocky's nose in half and cut Rocky's left eye badly. And once again, Rocky came through in the clutch and he KO Charles.
One of the most conditioned fighters and hardest hitters in history. Relentless bombs thrown nonstop all fight and in the 15th there was literally no sign of fatigue. Other people from that time have stated that he could have easily went 25 rounds in the ring. Those ww2 era fighters were built different, i dont care what anyone says about modern conditioning.
Rocky Marciano was the best fighter ever. The greatest champion of history of boxing. He had a supernatural determination, a right fist that took off your socks, an express train for a hand. But above all, a great, immense Italian heart..
@@marcusarrelias662 . Excuse me ? Joe was 37 and he was 27. He beat the best of his era. Men in those days fought a lot. Charles here was 88-13. These men were absolutely tough as hell and hit hard. Rocky here had his nose split wide open and his managers tied it together as he wanted to continue the fight. He ended up winning the fight. Few men would do that.
@@Deadsea_1993 Charles was legit. Also Archie Moore. I just feel he needed a win over a bigger superstar. I still think Joe was old. Not Rocky's fault I get it
@@marcusarrelias662 well you can't fault Rocky that he was born later than he was. Joe Louis was 37 for heavyweight that's not old and Wallcott was world title holder at the time. Rocky Marciano also beat Ezzard Charles who had taken the world heavyweight belt off Joe Louis
Rocky later said that the only time he was ever hurt or dazed in the ring was in one moment against Vingo. He was afraid that if Vingo had followed up at that moment that he would’ve been in serious trouble. It’s too bad we can’t see a film of this fight in fact half of Rockies championship fights have been lost to posterity. these lost rounds were simply never saved. Too bad
@@teddybblazin5628 Rocky never said that. Rocky said that the punch that hurt him most in the Walcott fight was a body shot in the 11th round. And he also said that until the Walcott fight, his fight with Vingo was his toughest. Admit it, you don't know what you are talking about.

@@jabbingjack3457 aka jabbingjack I would rather find out why you threw your son Aaron to the wolves jackrabbit. Lets talk about that. I have some questions I'd like answers to.
@@Boxrec297 Indeed! He has over 10 alias's and is trolling Marciano Videos 24/7. You're 100% correct about Joe Walcott being his toughest opponent in their 1st fight. Walcott was ahead on the scorecards going into the 13th round. 8-4, 7-5, 8-3-1. Even though Walcott was 38 years old, he fought a great fight against Rocky. And his first Title fight against Charles went 15 rounds and was a very close fight. Keep in mind that Ezzard was in the early stages of ALS.
It is unbelievable how tough and aggressive those fighters were, you could tell they were hungry in mind and body. They came from a time where are you had to work to eat. Looking at their physiques it is all muscle and bone. ..
Jack Dempsey is a perfect example of an old school fighter that fought in miner camps for short $$ and in barrooms for food & booze and pocket money. Marciano trained harder than any fighter from his era and he was running 6 miles/day inbetween fights and up to 15 miles/day in training camp. He got strong as an OX by hitting a 300lb heavy bag and lifting 150lb boulders over his head and heaving them.
@@TheNYHITTINGACADEMY Heard he was involved with Italian mobsters who controlled boxing fixed fights for him, even went to London, England to meet gang of low life criminals, the Krays. Sad ending, Got whacked when he disobeyed the big guys.

@@TheNYHITTINGACADEMY Moore went on to win 37 more fights after fighting Marciano with I think 24 of them being by KO. Not as washed up as you say, Charles and Walcott were great fighters, Bernard Hopkins and James Toney both credited watching these two fighters with learning so much that had been lost by modern boxers. Tony labeled them as geniuses. These guys were in their 30's too as was Marciano, way too much is placed on age sometimes. Each to their own opinion but those who saw him first hand and those who are respected mostly have him in the top half of the top 10. Remember he was drug free, no PED's and even when him and Ali sparred for the computer fight he doubled Ali over with a body punch. Just look up what Ali has to say about Marciano on here to hear with his own words that Marciano might well have beaten him.
WHERE did you get the film of their fight? I had NO IDEA it even existed. Amazing. It is a measure of Rocky's greatness as a man that he became life long friends with Vingo, Louis, Charles and several other's that he had fought. No grudges. No malice. Just real men doing an ugly job.
@@TheNYHITTINGACADEMY Jersey Joe was 36 years old when he lost to Ezzard Charles. Then, when Jersey Joe was 37 years of age, he beat a young (30 years of age) Ezzard Charles, not once, but twice in a row. The difference in age was incredible and it made Jersey Joe, the oldest ever heavyweight boxer to win the title. He was just a few months older when he lost to Rocky, not only once, but twice. Suffice to say, I respect both boxers whereas you look for excuses to hide your racist agenda. Herein lies the difference between you and others who have signalled this out. Furthermore, we could wipe Alis record of his victory over Archie Moore who was 48 years of age and in no way should have fought Ali.
@@TheNYHITTINGACADEMYBring me an argument. I could say the same thing about Mike Tyson. Put him in Alis era and he would never have been champion. Now, give me something that I can argue with instead of strawman arguments.
@@TheNYHITTINGACADEMY Marciano was never beat cause no won could beat him. That's a sign of the greatest. 49-0. Why you hatin on him? You don't like Italians?
Rocky Marciano’s record of 49-0 is better record than Floyd “ruined boxing” Mayweather 50-0 record. Mayweather 50th fight was against a non-boxer Conner Mcgregor. Rocky Marciano never hand picked his opponent. Didn’t care about money and fought heavyweight fighters who are harder than Mayweather’s handpicked fights.
Vingo was his "TOUGHEST" fight? Come on!...Let's be serious. He had to face guys like Walcott that - basically - BASHED Rocky for thirteen rounds. Joe threw EVERYTHING he had on Marciano and yet Rocky withstood it all ... with blood dripping all over from his face, head and chest ... all that just to sledgehammer Walcott with one blow when there was ...what?... 30 seconds of the fight left? - I don't think Carmine Vingo was the "toughest" opponent for him, unless... UNLESS we're talking about the psychological blowback he had to face, when he realized he almost killed the guy. PS. Goddamnit! - these men were KILLERS on the Ring! Today they are just...who the hell even are they? ...SHOWMEN on steroids?? I cannot see ONE of those new - "modern" - Boxers nowaday, who could (or WOULD) take the punishment of the sort Marciano took from Walcott - or (far less!) - taking it ... and then STILL WINNING THE FIGHT BY KNOCKING THE OTHER GUY OUT - leaving him "sleeping" on the canvas.
@Karelin ...you mean the steroids "champions" that fight once a year?? :D ...yeeahhmNO! Guys like Walcott had a way longer reach than him, they did all they could and still couldn't knock Marciano out. After a while that long reach will be only detrimental to you, because once you have a longer reach it doesn't matter if it is 2 inches longer, 12 or twenty. You think Tyson had a long reach or was in some manner or the other "physically superior"? :) In close quarters they're gonna have their ribs bashed in - Marciano knew it, Frazier knew it, Tyson knew - their styles were quite similar in fact. PS. ...and by Tyson I don't mean "Tyson" Fury.
@@2serveand2protect I do not think the title is referring t the fight itself. It refers to the psychological fight Rocky fought over almost killing Vingo
@@2serveand2protect Speaking of todays giants; I think they would find it very difficult to keep their distance from Rocky. Then, they would find their selves in a slugfest!
@alien observer Tua was never on drugs. Arron Pryor was hooked on cocaine near the end of his career. All I know is Sonny Liston would have destroyed Rocky with his jab. Rocky would never have gotten inside of it. No wonder he retired.
Fighters were built different back then. People were in general. They had to be. Fighters today don’t compare in most cases. The ones that work like the old guys are the most successful of course. Beterbiev, Bernard Hopkins when he was fighting at 50. Maybe Bud Crawford. That work and lifestyle pays off
I think the fact that Marciano would get mutiple different injuries in fights in the future where his ring said one more round and fight will be stopped and he would just go out and beat the sh it out of anyone he was fighting to get a easy KO victory that round, I think shows that this fight really did effect him, he was never going 100% until it was necessary.
Roki marciano grande campione, di boxe, l'unico bianco che ha avuto il sopravvento sui neri. Senza togliere niente ai campioni di colore, soprattutto al mitico ali.
I didn’t know rocky was good as he was , till just recently , but he was amazing !! A very classy guy !! Sure would have loved to see him fight Tyson ,
Boxing has so much more class then ufc , in ufc there’s a new champ every second day , ( not that I don’t respect the ufc champions ) but in boxing the champs are few and far between
0:20 🤨.. Bro, that's Eduardo Lausse. An Argentine boxer from the '50s, who fought at middleweight. He had great battles againts Gene "The Cyclone" Fullmer and "Kid gavilán". In our country we called him "The king without a crown".
Rocky was a good man and spent the night at the hospital praying for Carmine. But if you know anything about Marciano, then you know he never came out of his pocket for anyone other than his family, and then only really for his mom and dad.
Amazing Vingo became friends with Marciano. A lot of guys would have been bitter towards Marciano for the rest of their lives for doing that to him. I know I would have. Shames me to admit it.
Rocky was a true boxer not wanting to kill his opponent but just a knockout Muhammad Ali was the same way a true boxer that's what separates a true champion just going for a win

@@seniordavidmanderson9232 that's wild, I know rocky is a monster to fight but its always been my understanding vingo was holding his own early on, that's what I've read but it's not surprising rocky would do so much damage, he's hurt and damaged many other fighters without being hurt himself.
@@TheNYHITTINGACADEMY he had 7 knockouts and 16 wins with only 1 controversial loss going into the Marciano fight.
@@kevindocherty8292 he had 1 loss going into the Marciano fight not 2 and that was a close fight. No i am not a casual fan, I am a fan fan and I was a fighter and assistant trainer and I know my way around boxing history. As I said in my initial comment, vingo gave rocky a rough fight at least for a bit of time and was only going to get better until his career ended. He had good athletic ability, he was tough and technically decent and the fact that he had the physical tools to give rocky such a tough fight for some time if you ask me made him better than most at that point in time.
I think Rocky would have performed better in the first LaStarza fight if it were not for that fact that he was gun shy after the Vingo fight. Regardless of what this narrator says, I think there was still some residual reluctance on Rocky's part to go all out.
You're 100% correct. Mike Stanton came to that same conclusion in his autobiography book about Rocky: Unbeaten
Isn't that insane? After what he went through with Vingo, you put him in with a REALLY good fighter in LaStarza? Who's brainchild was that?
Vingo nearly died ...and he was left partially paralyzed after the Marciano fight! Rocky paid his medical bills and Vingo was well enough to attend Marciano's marriage to Barbara Cousins.

In the old days trainers didn't signify the importance of the jab. Most fights were slug fests. Todays' fighters are more technical. Marciano was a little guy, compared to todays muscular fighters.
the rock was a real class act ,hard worker and gentleman
They always talk of rocky punching power but their been lots of heavy punchers and all big men hit hard. But what sets him apart is his endurance he never goes backwards all his oppent can do is either meet him and stand with him which is what he wants or spend every round going backwards which burns up 2much energy and eventually the ropes turn up and either way he's still coming straight forward must of been so hard to fight against because he would just throw punches in such volume that some had to strike home .very very hard man
Exactly!
Rocky was a DEVASTATING PUNCHER, but not just that. Rocky could take the toughest and most brutal of punches by any man and what made him even more dangerous.
You just couldn’t hurt the guy!
You’d have be pretty desperate or have a few loose screws to go into the ring with this kind of fighter.
Ezra Charles hit Rocky with everything he had, his best and most powerful punch, on his chin, and knocked Rocky down on the ring floor for exactly 2 seconds.
Rocky got up and shook it off like it was nothing. You know that had to have an enormous effect on Ezra after that. He was probably thinking to himself
“OH FUCK ME, I’M IN FOR EITHER A LONG PAINFUL NIGHT OR A REAL SHORT ONE.”
@@pipewelda You're thinking of Joe Walcott because besides him, only the Old Mongoose/Moore knocked Marciano down for 3-4 seconds/flash knockdowns.
Walcott was dominating Marciano for 12 rounds by 8-4 on two score cards and by 7-5 on the other scorecard and Rocky was told that he better go for a KO in the 13 th round and Rocky's KO Punch in the 13th round against Walcott was one og the greatest KO punches of all-time. Ezzard was the only fighter to go 15 rounds against Marciano in a very close fight. In their 2nd fight, Charles split Rocky's nose in half and cut Rocky's left eye badly. And once again, Rocky came through in the clutch and he KO Charles.
@@pipewelda Marciano never got tagged by Liston, Foreman, or Ernie Shavers. And I say that respectfully.
@@HankFinkle11he had a stronger head than all of them , he could have taken their best shots , with all due respect too 😂
Nah
Size has got nothing to do with power
Rocky hits the hardest based on the recorded amd documented damage he's done to his opponents
One of the most conditioned fighters and hardest hitters in history. Relentless bombs thrown nonstop all fight and in the 15th there was literally no sign of fatigue. Other people from that time have stated that he could have easily went 25 rounds in the ring. Those ww2 era fighters were built different, i dont care what anyone says about modern conditioning.
I remember jack Johnson fought 26 rounds in his last fight in the cuban heat. That shits crazy
One of the most determined mentally tough fighters that ever lived. Dynamite in bit hands too, especially the Susie q
Rocky Marciano was the best fighter ever. The greatest champion of history of boxing. He had a supernatural determination, a right fist that took off your socks, an express train for a hand. But above all, a great, immense Italian heart..
And never beat a good fighter. Jersey joe at best. Joe Louis was 83
@@marcusarrelias662 . Excuse me ? Joe was 37 and he was 27. He beat the best of his era. Men in those days fought a lot. Charles here was 88-13. These men were absolutely tough as hell and hit hard. Rocky here had his nose split wide open and his managers tied it together as he wanted to continue the fight. He ended up winning the fight. Few men would do that.
@@Deadsea_1993 Charles was legit. Also Archie Moore. I just feel he needed a win over a bigger superstar. I still think Joe was old. Not Rocky's fault I get it
@@Deadsea_1993 Roy Jones junior was a great fighter until father time got him at age 36. His reflexes were shot at age 36.
@@marcusarrelias662 well you can't fault Rocky that he was born later than he was. Joe Louis was 37 for heavyweight that's not old and Wallcott was world title holder at the time. Rocky Marciano also beat Ezzard Charles who had taken the world heavyweight belt off Joe Louis
Rocky later said that the only time he was ever hurt or dazed in the ring was in one moment against Vingo. He was afraid that if Vingo had followed up at that moment that he would’ve been in serious trouble. It’s too bad we can’t see a film of this fight in fact half of Rockies championship fights have been lost to posterity. these lost rounds were simply never saved. Too bad
That's not even close to true lmao rocky said jersey joe hurt him and his "head was all smoky" c'mon bruh why u gotta make shit up???
@@teddybblazin5628 Rocky never said that. Rocky said that the punch that hurt him most in the Walcott fight was a body shot in the 11th round. And he also said that until the Walcott fight, his fight with Vingo was his toughest. Admit it, you don't know what you are talking about.

@@Boxrec297 Indeed! He has over 10 alias's and is trolling Marciano Videos 24/7. You're 100% correct about Joe Walcott being his toughest opponent in their 1st fight. Walcott was ahead on the scorecards going into the 13th round. 8-4, 7-5, 8-3-1. Even though Walcott was 38 years old, he fought a great fight against Rocky. And his first Title fight against Charles went 15 rounds and was a very close fight. Keep in mind that Ezzard was in the early stages of ALS.
It is unbelievable how tough and aggressive those fighters were, you could tell they were hungry in mind and body. They came from a time where are you had to work to eat. Looking at their physiques it is all muscle and bone. ..
Jack Dempsey is a perfect example of an old school fighter that fought in miner camps for short $$ and in barrooms for food & booze and pocket money. Marciano trained harder than any fighter from his era and he was running 6 miles/day inbetween fights and up to 15 miles/day in training camp. He got strong as an OX by hitting a 300lb heavy bag and lifting 150lb boulders over his head and heaving them.
Whatever he hits,he broke it..
Rocky was a true Champion and a great man
@@TheNYHITTINGACADEMY Heard he was involved with Italian mobsters who controlled boxing fixed fights for him, even went to London, England to meet gang of low life criminals, the Krays. Sad ending, Got whacked when he disobeyed the big guys.
And he was a Great Catholic also
@@STEVEREEVES4444 Walcott was an old man when he fought Marciano and still managed to knock him down. A younger Walcott would have finished him there and then.

I think his cardio was down to his training rather than being a blessing. He used to run 15 miles a day, on top of the rest of his training.
Agreed. Rocky trained harder than any heavyweight until Holyfield.
But the granite jaw is something that you're born with.
@@andyharman3022neck training and having stronger & healthier bones contribute to making a granite jaw

marciano used to run up the hills of NY or a 15 mile route and he sprinted the hills repeatedly.
Only Undefeated Heavy Weight champion Until this Day. 49 & 0. 🇺🇸🇮🇹🇺🇸🇮🇹
Well said but Tyson Fury is also undefeated.
@alien observer FURY WOULD BEAT ROCKY WOULDNT HE ROCHETTE YOU CLUELESS STALEKER BULLY TROLL?
He had the shortest reach of any heavyweight...the low blows (typically to taller opponents) weren't done intentionally imho
Either way.
A left hook delivered to the cashews is a good strategy. Unless they're my own cashews, of course.
@@TheNYHITTINGACADEMY he knocked out Joe Louis I would say that makes him a great all a man can do is beat the best around at the time and rocky did just that no other heavyweight boxer has did that except the rock you have to give credit where its due
@@TheNYHITTINGACADEMY Moore went on to win 37 more fights after fighting Marciano with I think 24 of them being by KO. Not as washed up as you say, Charles and Walcott were great fighters, Bernard Hopkins and James Toney both credited watching these two fighters with learning so much that had been lost by modern boxers. Tony labeled them as geniuses. These guys were in their 30's too as was Marciano, way too much is placed on age sometimes. Each to their own opinion but those who saw him first hand and those who are respected mostly have him in the top half of the top 10. Remember he was drug free, no PED's and even when him and Ali sparred for the computer fight he doubled Ali over with a body punch. Just look up what Ali has to say about Marciano on here to hear with his own words that Marciano might well have beaten him.
@@nickoldschoolrules52 awesome reply my friend ! 👌
@@STEVEREEVES4444 Thanks.
Great man , and great champion , The BEST !
WHERE did you get the film of their fight? I had NO IDEA it even existed. Amazing.
It is a measure of Rocky's greatness as a man that he became life long friends with Vingo, Louis, Charles and several other's that he had fought. No grudges. No malice. Just real men doing an ugly job.
Very well done video and narrative. Professional quality, excellent research.
Thanks.
Thank you, Robert.
At the time of this fight, Ezzard Charles was 87 wins out of 99 fights, Marciano was 42 and 0. No one today does that!
I wonder if Rocky was black, would you trash him so much? Probably not 😑
Add to that that those were 15 round fight abs not 12 too.
@@TheNYHITTINGACADEMY Jersey Joe was 36 years old when he lost to Ezzard Charles. Then, when Jersey Joe was 37 years of age, he beat a young (30 years of age) Ezzard Charles, not once, but twice in a row. The difference in age was incredible and it made Jersey Joe, the oldest ever heavyweight boxer to win the title. He was just a few months older when he lost to Rocky, not only once, but twice. Suffice to say, I respect both boxers whereas you look for excuses to hide your racist agenda. Herein lies the difference between you and others who have signalled this out. Furthermore, we could wipe Alis record of his victory over Archie Moore who was 48 years of age and in no way should have fought Ali.
@@TheNYHITTINGACADEMYBring me an argument. I could say the same thing about Mike Tyson. Put him in Alis era and he would never have been champion. Now, give me something that I can argue with instead of strawman arguments.

Greatest fighter in history
Yup!
not even close!!
Sorry Rock... the hardest hitters always take the hardest hit in the end. I Love You Man!
Marciano is the greatest that will ever be in boxing!
no
Rocky Marciano’s record of 49-0 is better record than Floyd “ruined boxing” Mayweather 50-0 record. Mayweather 50th fight was against a non-boxer Conner Mcgregor. Rocky Marciano never hand picked his opponent. Didn’t care about money and fought heavyweight fighters who are harder than Mayweather’s handpicked fights.
Floyd junior only fought guys who were green, over the hill or injured. Credit to his father he never ducked anyone.
Right and maydona beat Mayweather in their first fight so Mayweather has one loss
Rocky cared about money--he just insisted on winning!
not to mention that mayweather McGregor fight was a 100% work.
Respect to Marciano but Mayweather better
Stop hating
Vingo was his "TOUGHEST" fight? Come on!...Let's be serious. He had to face guys like Walcott that - basically - BASHED Rocky for thirteen rounds. Joe threw EVERYTHING he had on Marciano and yet Rocky withstood it all ... with blood dripping all over from his face, head and chest ... all that just to sledgehammer Walcott with one blow when there was ...what?... 30 seconds of the fight left? - I don't think Carmine Vingo was the "toughest" opponent for him, unless... UNLESS we're talking about the psychological blowback he had to face, when he realized he almost killed the guy.
PS.
Goddamnit! - these men were KILLERS on the Ring! Today they are just...who the hell even are they? ...SHOWMEN on steroids?? I cannot see ONE of those new - "modern" - Boxers nowaday, who could (or WOULD) take the punishment of the sort Marciano took from Walcott - or (far less!) - taking it ... and then STILL WINNING THE FIGHT BY KNOCKING THE OTHER GUY OUT - leaving him "sleeping" on the canvas.
@Karelin ...you mean the steroids "champions" that fight once a year?? :D ...yeeahhmNO! Guys like Walcott had a way longer reach than him, they did all they could and still couldn't knock Marciano out. After a while that long reach will be only detrimental to you, because once you have a longer reach it doesn't matter if it is 2 inches longer, 12 or twenty. You think Tyson had a long reach or was in some manner or the other "physically superior"? :) In close quarters they're gonna have their ribs bashed in - Marciano knew it, Frazier knew it, Tyson knew - their styles were quite similar in fact.
PS.
...and by Tyson I don't mean "Tyson" Fury.
@@2serveand2protect I do not think the title is referring t the fight itself. It refers to the psychological fight Rocky fought over almost killing Vingo
@@richardmorris7188 Agree
Hoping FURY is not a steroid freak.
@@2serveand2protect Speaking of todays giants; I think they would find it very difficult to keep their distance from Rocky. Then, they would find their selves in a slugfest!

Marciano alway proved height and reach don't mean shit.
So did Mike Tyson and David Tua.
@alien observer Tua was never on drugs. Arron Pryor was hooked on cocaine near the end of his career. All I know is Sonny Liston would have destroyed Rocky with his jab. Rocky would never have gotten inside of it. No wonder he retired.

Fighters were built different back then. People were in general. They had to be. Fighters today don’t compare in most cases. The ones that work like the old guys are the most successful of course. Beterbiev, Bernard Hopkins when he was fighting at 50. Maybe Bud Crawford. That work and lifestyle pays off
Go rocky marciano
Thanks for the video, RICH THE FIGHT HISTORIAN
I think the fact that Marciano would get mutiple different injuries in fights in the future where his ring said one more round and fight will be stopped and he would just go out and beat the sh it out of anyone he was fighting to get a easy KO victory that round, I think shows that this fight really did effect him, he was never going 100% until it was necessary.
What'a man Rocky Marciano was more people should know this story
Thank you so much Rich , truly appreciated 🥊❤️🥊

Rocky, amazing tuff Champ,who knows th truth what Rocky may have given to Vingo family,he may have asked not to tell others
Rocky was a good man and spent the night at the hospital praying for Carmine. But if you know anything about Marciano, then you know he never came out of his pocket for anyone other than his family, and then only really for his mom and dad.
Love your videos Rich you the man
Thanks, George.
Amazing Vingo became friends with Marciano. A lot of guys would have been bitter towards Marciano for the rest of their lives for doing that to him. I know I would have. Shames me to admit it.
That definitely makes Carmine Vingo one hell of a man.
Rocky was a true boxer not wanting to kill his opponent but just a knockout Muhammad Ali was the same way a true boxer that's what separates a true champion just going for a win
I hate the way that Larry Holmes disrespected Marciano. He said Rocky couldn’t carry his jockstrap. Holmes was a great fighter but not a great person.
By the way, what madman follows the near tragedy with Vingo and put's him in the Ring with a fighter like LaStarza? That's nuts.
Rocky was the best

That would be a great idea, mateus. Very cool to hear from a fan from Brazil.
HW boxing insane without head gear.. insane
I thought the first Wolcott fight was the toughest for Rocky.
Most fights back then were pure brawls with both fighters inside just wailing on each other punch for punch.
Southpaw 200 lb Cruiserweight Usyk is actually bigger than Ali. Joshua came in at 240 lbs, only an 18 lb weight advantage over Usyk 222 lbs 6'3.2" height 78.2" reach. Holyfield 218 lbs 6'2.5" height 78" reach. Michael Spinks 208 lbs 6' 2.5" height 76" reach. Ali 215 lbs 6'2.5" (passport) height 78" reach. And of course we mustn't forget 185 lb 5'10" little white Rocky with his famously shortest "ever" 67" inch bantamweight T-rex alligator arm reach.
