He could go 15 rounds easily,trained like a gladiator.Only hit the canvas twice,neither time looked hurt.First fight with Walcott and fight with Moore.Walcott 2 seconds,Moore 4 seconds both knockdowns looked to be more off balance than hurt.49-0...G.O.A.T. A great competitor,always respectable to all,classy guy.
Soft spoken Lennox Lewis at his best was the total package. When he fought seriously he was pretty much untouchable. The last undisputed Super Heavyweight champion emerged as cream of the crop against some of the biggest punchers in Heavyweight history. Lewis avenged his only two defeats by knockout. He didn't make excuses for his only two losses, he said, "It's Heavyweights, you can get caught, but i won the rematches in style," and "Show me a Heavyweight Champion without a loss and i'll show you a fighter that fought a lot of nobodies." Lewis haters always say, "but he got knocked out twice ha-ha." Well i say, "Mike Tyson got knocked out FIVE times ha-ha, and Ali lost his best 30 years of retirement from having his faculties traumatized for an entire decade. Watching his head used as catchers mitt 100,000 times was ha-ha. IT'S NOT HOW YOU START, IT'S HOW YOU FINISH." 57 year old Lennox is the GOAT. To hear him talk so clearly and eloquently after going up against 18 Heavyweight Champions is remarkable. The 18 HW Champions Lewis faced: Vitali Klitschko, Evander Holyfield, Mike Tyson, Shannon Briggs, Frank Bruno, Tony Tucker, Hasim Rahman, Oliver McCall, Mike Weaver, Henry Akinwande, Tommy Morrison and Ray Mercer were later recognized as WBO champions, British HW champion Gary Mason, European HW champion Jean Chanet, Commonwealth HW champion Derek Williams, Canada HW champion Razor Ruddock, IBF/WBF HW champion Michael Grant, and WBC International HW champion David Tua...*[[ technically not all were 'World' champions but champions nonetheless ]]. Other notable mentions; Olympic HW Silver medalist Riddick Bowe, Olympic HW Gold medalist Tyrell Briggs, Andrew Golota, Zeljko Mavrovic, Frans Botha and Phil Jackson. Name another Super Heavyweight with a better resume? Only person i can think of is Wladimir Klitschko. How many "prime" 200+lb HW Champions did 184 pound dwarfism-arms fight? ""ZERO""!!!! A small penguin actually has a longer wingspan than Rocky's 67" inch flyweight reach. Imagine penguin arms tryin to fight top-notch Super Heavyweights with 80" to 85" albatross wingspans and 40 to 90 pound weight advantages? 184 pounds give me a break,, what a Joke!
When "The President" Nigerian Ike Ibeabuchi met "The Tuamanator" Samoan David Tua the Nigerian got out to an insanely fast start, throwing 91 punches in round one according to CompuBox, 91 again in round two, and 95 in round three, obscene numbers for a Heavyweight. By the final bell, Ibeabuchi and Tua had combined to throw 1,730 punches, breaking the Heavyweight record set by Ali vs. Frazier III, when they combined for 1,591 punches - in 14 rounds, two rounds more than Ibeabuchi and Tua had to work with. Ike threw 975 punches, the most ever by a single Heavyweight. Both fighters had a brawling fight style, they were both 24 years old at the time of this epic "tribal" battle and they were both undefeated going in to this fight. 226lb Tua's record stood at 27-0-0 23KO's while 236lb Ibeabuchi's record stood at 16-0-0 12KO's.. This fight is the stuff that dreams were made of. Two Super Heavyweight warriors stood toe to toe exhibiting exceptional heart and endurance. Both boxers threw bombs and neither took a backward step. *Prime "Tuamanator" would have obliterated little light heavyweights Charles and Moore, and "The President" would have walked through small cruiserweights Marciano and Walcott as if they were invisible!
WALCOTT LOSSES: 1. In 1930 Walcott was DISQUALIFIED-(loss) vs. KO Palmer. Walcott intentionally hit 159-pound Palmer in the back of his neck while he was draped over the ropes. *Where is the Heavyweights? In 1930 Marciano was "SEVEN" years old. 2. In 1931 163-pound Walcott lost by decision to 158-pound Carl Mays. *Is this the Heavyweight division? Marciano was "EIGHT" years old. 3. In 1933 Walcott lost by decision to 177-pound Henry Taylor. *Where is the Heavyweights? Marciano was "TEN" years old. 4. In 1936 Walcott was "KOd" by 191-pound Al Ettore. Marciano was "THIRTEEN" years old. 5. In 1936 Walcott lost by decision to 179-pound Billy Ketchell. *Where is the Heavyweights? Marciano was "THIRTEEN" years old. 6. In 1937 Walcott was"KOd" by 178-pound Tiger Jack Fox. *Where is the Heavyweights? Marciano was "FOURTEEN" years old. 7. In 1937 Walcott lost by decision to 174-pound George Brothers. *Where is the Heavyweight division? Marciano was "FOURTEEN" years old. 8. In 1938 Walcott lost by decision to 184-pound Tiger Jack Fox "Again". *Where is the Heavyweights? Marciano was "FIFTEEN" years old. 9. In 1938 Walcott lost by decision to 197-pound Roy Lazer. Marciano was "FIFTEEN" years old. 10. In 1940 Walcott was "KOd" AND "retired" for three years by 256-pound Abe Simon. Hey, a-real Super Heavyweight. Simon's best stuff was size and brute strength. Unfortunately he was a poor boxer with terrible defense. Abe retired in 1942. Marciano was "SEVENTEEN" years old. 11. In 1945 Walcott lost by decision to 204-pound Johnny Allen who had more losses than wins. Marciano was "TWENTY TWO" years old. 12. In 1946 Walcott lost by decision to 179-pound Joey Maxim. *Is this the Heavyweight division? Marciano was "TWENTY THREE" years old. 13. In 1946 Walcott lost by decision to 191-pound Elmer Ray. Marciano was "TWENTY THREE" years old. 14. In 1947 Walcott lost by decision to 212-pound Joe Louis. Marciano was "TWENTY FOUR" years old. 15. In 1948 Walcott was KOd by 213-pound Joe Louis. Louis barely got through the C-level cruiserweight Journeyman Walcott so he announced his retirement on March 1, 1949 because his once speedy reflexes were non-existent. Louis was completely washed and it showed. Marciano was "TWENTY FIVE" years old. 16. In 1949 Walcott lost by decision to 181-pound Ezzard Charles. This fight was for the ""vacant"" Heavyweight title. *Where is the Heavyweights? Marciano was "TWENTY SIX" years old. 17. In 1950 Walcott lost by decision to 192-pound Rex Layne. Marciano was "TWENTY SEVEN" years old. 18. In 1951 Walcott lost by decision to 185-pound Ezzard Charles. *Where is the Heavyweights? Marciano was "TWENTY EIGHT" years old. 19. In 1952 Walcott was KOd by 184-pound Rocky Marciano. *Where is the Heavyweights? Marciano was "TWENTY NINE" years old.. IT IS VIRTUALLY IMPRACTICAL THAT WALCOTT WAS IN HIS PRIME vs. MARCIANO BECAUSE IT IS SCIENTIFICALLY AND MATHEMATICALLY IMPOSSIBLE!!!! AND JUST BECAUSE YOU SAY HE WAS PRIME DOES NOT MAKE IT TRUE!!!! PUT WALCOTT AT (( 29 )) AND MARCIANO AT (( 38 )) WHAT HAPPENS?? 20. In 1953 Walcott was KOd by 184-pound Rocky Marciano. *Where is the Heavyweights? Marciano was "THIRTY" years old and Walcott was very close to "FORTY"!!!! ( It was advantageous that Marciano started late because he was fresh while the others were already smashed around lik bowling pins for (15) years. Also little Rocky did have an extensive amateur career. His uncle hung a heavy bag in the back yard when he was only 10 years old, and he had years of daily sparing while he was in the military )
There are few Heavyweight champions in the history of boxing that are better known for their losses than their wins. Jersey Joe Walcott's high profile losses is what elevated his status and built up his credentials, not his wins. During his peak championship years, Walcott scored 7 wins with 5 KO's. Only one of those KO's came against a ranked fighter, that being Ezzard Charles. During this time Walcott also lost 7 times and suffered 10 count KO's 3 times and a 9 count once. In total fights during this time Walcott's record was 7-7. In title fights he went 2-6 with 1 KO win and 3 KO losses. He fought 3 different men in his 8 title fights, was defeated by each of them twice, KO'd by two of them and only defeated one of them. In his overall career Walcott had a 49-20-1 record and was KO'd 6 times (BoxRec). Based on these less than impressive stats it is difficult to consider him anymore than a good Journeyman. Walcott scored 32 KO's in 70 fights. The only two ranked fighters Walcott ever KO'd was an off the floor 10th round win over Curtis Sheppard and the lightning in the bottle KO of Ezzard Charles. Walcott is a prime example of boxing historians rating a fighter higher than he deserves based on impressive losses. Walcott was winless in all 4 of his fights vs. Louis/Marciano and was KO'd 3 times. The fact that Walcott was granted 6 title attempts in a 6 year span speaks volumes about how weak the Heavyweight division must have been at this time. Five of these title opportunities came immediately after a Walcott loss. Had Walcott been fighting in the 60's, 70's, 80's, 90's, 2000's, there is no way he would have been granted this many opportunities after losing so many title attempts. Walcott should at best be remembered not as a great Heavyweight champion, but a good C-Level Journeyman. *If a fighter today had 20 losses and was KO'd 6 times he'd be considered F-level. Wilder and Joshua only have 5 losses between them yet they are already considered has-beens. But it's perfectly fine for Walcott Charles Moore to have (68) losses (double standard). *Lennox Lewis was KO'd 2 times and his top-10 ranking has suffered ever since. But it's perfectly fine for Walcott Charles Moore to have been KO'd (20) times (double standard). *If King Fury losses just "ONE" time his top-10 credibility will be in jeopardy forever (double standard).
Marciano was small compared to today's heavyweights but he was comparable to the heavyweights of the day. Joe Louis was 6'2 and about 214 pounds. Mohammed Ali was 6'3 and 216 when he fought Foreman. Marciano was about 5'10 and 187. He had only been boxing about 4 years when Louis and Marciano fought. Now a lot of people said that Louis was old and washed up when they fought and I am admittedly not the world's leading authority here but it seems to me that when they fought Louis had to earn the fight. He had fought 8 times in 1951 already. He was also the favorite over Marciano and many expected that 10 rounds wouldn't be long enough to out last Louis. Yet Marciano knocked him out in the eighth round. Marciano, Louis and Ali are considered three of the greatest heavyweight boxers of all time.It is impossible to compare boxers of different eras as the environment, training and rules are so different. But in their time frame they were the best there was, and this is pretty much the conclusion of the most knowledgeable experts.
Not even really in the same weight class even though both " heavyweights " Lennox 7 foot reach and knew how to use it. Rocky, I just saw stats recently listed him as 68 inches? 16 inches and 7 inches height, Lennox Lewis would kill him. Rocky never fought anyone even close to his size and skill
@@toecutter1015 Again size! Max Baer knocked giant Carnera Steve Cunningham small man knocked giant Fury Dempsey knocked giant Willard Chris Byrd beat Klitchko All small fighters and non of them had Rocky strenght,chin,heart,determination and stamina! David Tua same size as Marciano made Lewis run for his money! Tua don't hit hard as Marciano and Rocky used both hands! Rocky fought same size Louis who was even then faster,skilled,better chin,speed and was better combination pincher than Lewis and Rocky knocked him! What about Chris Byrd who was poor version of Marciano fighting Klitchko who was bigger than Lewis with equal chin and power! And Byrd is same size as Marciano but not hit that hard and did not have that chin,heart and stamina! Rahman and McCall who were not big knocked Lewis and ex washed cruiser Holyfield beat Lewis! Rocky is better than them and would knock Lewis out silly
@@valentinaivkovic5597 Carnera and Jess Willard were BIG uncoordinated stiff clods. Chris Byrd was a talented skilled smart fighter who was severely underestimated by Klitscko, but really should have been fighting in a much lower weight class. David Tua made Lennox run? I saw that boring fight, don't remember seeing that, Tua got beat was the decision ( Boring) McCall was a mental case who had a nervous breakdown and Lennox was merciful and didn't kill him. Lennox got reckless and stupid against Rachmant in the 1st fight and paid the price but demolished him in the rematch Holyfield never came close to beating Lewis, That first fight is on top of every list of worst decisions/travesties of all time, he was clearly dominated but got a draw, the 2and one was actually a little closer but he still clearly lost. You obviously are biased/ don't like Lennox Lewis if you think Holyfield won either of those. Joe Louis was an old man, way past his prime when he fought Rocky. Your knowledge of boxing history is seriously lacking or jaded or both Lennox is from a whole different evolution of BIG well rounded athletic highly skilled " pugilist specialist " type heavyweights It's not even fair to compare them to anyone from70 years ago, they're almost a different species, but really just more like the natural evolution of athlete in any sport
@@toecutter1015 Carnera was not uncoordinated,he was a champ,had decent jab and was champion beating many good fighters!Willard was not good?Same Willard who knocked legendary Jack Johnson? Chrys byrd was a champ who beat Klitchko and Tua while he was old,and olnly who stopped him was young Ike! Lewis run from Tua whole fight!Tua was frustrated and every time he put good pinches Lewis hide behind shoulders and did not do nothing but waiting for Tua attacking stopp!He just run! McCall beat Lewis first time by very good KO and Lewis showed a glass in his jaw!Second time they meet Oliver McCall also put good fight but had mental issue and was cocaine addict and had brain damage but still gabe him good fight!McCall would knock him again but his mental issue appeared! Lennox got knocked by bodybuilder bum Rahman,and did KO him but Rahman KO was more notable and better!Lewis waited till Tahman was shoot! Holyfield was shot,38 years old when foughtewis and clearly won second meeting while first was a draw!If they meet 6 years before,Leiws would be killed! What about shot Mercer?He was 40 years old and still beat Lewis but he was robbed!Did they meet few years before,Mercer would beat him same eay McCall did! Joe Louis was old?He beat Walcott twice,Bivins...won all fightd before Rocky fight with KO?How Louis was when ne won all 5 bouts by KO before Rocky and he was 36 when they meet! Lewis is not athletic but boring fighter eho foigjt only cans and washed fighter like Tucker,Bruno,Holy,Mercer,Tua...and still could not won easy!In their prime they would beat him! Boxers were better then,more skilfull and more talented! Then,boring big fighters who used PEDs likr Lewis and Klitchko came and even then they could not beat old fighters easy! Marciano,Louis,Foreman...would beat them bad!
You Marciano fan boys make me laugh. Rocky was too small for dozens of proven authentic Super Heavyweights. Fury jabs him into oblivion. Heck, Fury can land 4 or 5 jabs a round and win the round. And how does Rocky reach Fury with the extreme height-reach difference, and Fury's foot speed?
You white Marciano lovers 💕 adore little Rocky's high-work-rate, but 6'2" 237 lb Ike "The President" Ibeabuchi threw a record breaking 975 punches vs David Tua in their 12 round fight, more than tiny penguin🐧arms was capable of. Authentic Heavyweight Ibeabuchi would've manhandled small Rocco and smashed him like a 🍇 grape.

Oh Wolcott did hurt him,he even admitted so,but not badly at all.And The Charles knockdown was a flash knock down, more off balance like you said.
Soft spoken Lennox Lewis at his best was the total package. When he fought seriously he was pretty much untouchable. The last undisputed Super Heavyweight champion emerged as cream of the crop against some of the biggest punchers in Heavyweight history.
Lewis avenged his only two defeats by knockout. He didn't make excuses for his only two losses, he said, "It's Heavyweights, you can get caught, but i won the rematches in style," and "Show me a Heavyweight Champion without a loss and i'll show you a fighter that fought a lot of nobodies."
Lewis haters always say, "but he got knocked out twice ha-ha."

This footage is very Motivating and legendary! Marciano was real boxing along with Joe Lewis.
Louis, not Lewis.

Lewis run from Tua whole fight!Tua was frustrated and every time he put good pinches Lewis hide behind shoulders and did not do nothing but waiting for Tua attacking stopp!He just run!
McCall beat Lewis first time by very good KO and Lewis showed a glass in his jaw!Second time they meet Oliver McCall also put good fight but had mental issue and was cocaine addict and had brain damage but still gabe him good fight!McCall would knock him again but his mental issue appeared!
Lennox got knocked by bodybuilder bum Rahman,and did KO him but Rahman KO was more notable and better!Lewis waited till Tahman was shoot!
Holyfield was shot,38 years old when foughtewis and clearly won second meeting while first was a draw!If they meet 6 years before,Leiws would be killed!
What about shot Mercer?He was 40 years old and still beat Lewis but he was robbed!Did they meet few years before,Mercer would beat him same eay McCall did!
Joe Louis was old?He beat Walcott twice,Bivins...won all fightd before Rocky fight with KO?How Louis was when ne won all 5 bouts by KO before Rocky and he was 36 when they meet!
Lewis is not athletic but boring fighter eho foigjt only cans and washed fighter like Tucker,Bruno,Holy,Mercer,Tua...and still could not won easy!In their prime they would beat him!
Boxers were better then,more skilfull and more talented!
Then,boring big fighters who used PEDs likr Lewis and Klitchko came and even then they could not beat old fighters easy!
Marciano,Louis,Foreman...would beat them bad!
Che mani d'acciaio
You Marciano fan boys make me laugh. Rocky was too small for dozens of proven authentic Super Heavyweights. Fury jabs him into oblivion. Heck, Fury can land 4 or 5 jabs a round and win the round. And how does Rocky reach Fury with the extreme height-reach difference, and Fury's foot speed?
training or playing horseshoe
Pretty lame training camp, playing horseshoes and tossing a beach ball around
Medicine ball , weighty metal horse shoes
The guy ran 12 to 15 miles every morning
Not a big man at all
You white Marciano lovers 💕 adore little Rocky's high-work-rate, but 6'2" 237 lb Ike "The President" Ibeabuchi threw a record breaking 975 punches vs David Tua in their 12 round fight, more than tiny penguin🐧arms was capable of. Authentic Heavyweight Ibeabuchi would've manhandled small Rocco and smashed him like a 🍇 grape.
