49 wins, 43 knockouts, 0 defeats. Rocky Marciano, a hero to all those who are told they can't.
Well stated😎
Out of 49, Name 5 great fighters Rocky beat? Old Louis, Old Charles, Old Walcot don't count.
@@Paul-sl9zm all 49 wins count. That's like saying Khabib and Floyd Mayweather's records don't count either.
@@Paul-sl9zm These were still great fighters. Louis won his last 7 fights and was favored. Louis was a fraction of what he was but that means still very good. The other two were in their late 30’s I think but still close to prime and top, top fighters

Jersey Joe Walcott and Joe Louis were 38 years old when they fought a 28 year old Marciano . And Joe Louis came out of retirement to fight Marciano. Marciano has a lot of bums and old past their prime boxers on his record. His record is Clearly padded by the Mob.
The great man carried himself with dignity
Rocky was always so nice and humble. He never trash talked his opponents and always praised their fighting abilities before he broke them , he let his fist do the talking.
Those were different times. Stars had class back then. Now there a bunch of narcissistic ego maniacs
The Complete opposite of most of today's totally crass & classless Heavyweight chumps!!!🤔🤨🧐🙄
Olexander Usyk exempted!😊👍
He is the greatest of all time in my opinion. All around
I always loved and appreciated how he would praise his opponents abilities and destroy them
@@albertross2456
He’s no Ali!
Humble guy with monster skills
Wow a true gentleman he was!
What an amazing human. Street smart, tough and still saw the good in people
People like him nowadays are so rare.
He just wouldn't give up
What a great and gentleman champion!
Mr. 49 AND O! ! !

Rocky Marciano
THE GREATEST BOXING CHAMP
OF ALL-TIME
No Ali is the greatest
Wow, what a very humble man!
Hey GenZers, this is what a real man looks like.
Lol! Absolutely 💯 but be careful as they may need councelling with PTSS!!!😝😜🤪🤭
Millenials are like 40 now
@@masonlerner9342 up to 45 actually born in 1977 or earlier
LOL
Stupid comment, Rocky was an icon in Sport nothing to do with "Millenials"......
The best of all time
He was the greatest, undefeated heavy weight champion of the world 🥊
The best boxer for ever Roky for ever after aLi,
I noticed throughout boxing history, Heavyweight champs have been some of the most genuine, interesting and awesome guys around. So many of them
Rocky, Holyfield, Liston, Tyson, Fury, Ali...and one of my all time favs "Big George Foreman" (special human beings 🙏)
And Usyk!! You have right!
@@redblacktichy7713 lol Ya I never hear Usyk talk but he is awesome as well
Joe frazier
I like and respect Rocky Marciano.
For me him, Alì and Sugar ray Robinson are the greatest ever
For most that is but Rocky always makes it to the top 10
The more I see of him the more I respect and admire him.
Rocky was a true champion--back in the day when fighters had class and respected each other and their sport.
Complete praise to them words. Boxers nowdays wouldn't think to speak them words. True men back in the day.
Truly the greatest of all time. 49-0. Nobody well ever come close to him.
Record padded by the Italian Mob.
The greatest. I grew up in Brockton. I saw him one time in a store, didn’t talk to him. He was like a god in Brockton. I was in Vietnam when I got the letter from my mom saying he had died. I was shocked
Thank you my friend he was a good man
I have two photos that i treasure that I got from my auntie because her husband knew him and he said he was a quietly spoken man but a different man when he was fighting.
Absolute LEGEND
The real GOAT
Now there is the G.O.A.T
Where I didn’t see Ali
@@C-bo2584Lol he lost to seven fight LW Leon Spinks. Now SIDDOWN🤣🤡
Shoutout Brockton,MA 🥊 City of Champions!
When men had class and dignity
We will always remember him, true tough guy, honest straight forward relentless.
Fighters today fight once per year and duck the tough fights.
Such a class act. The gentleman warrior 💪🏾
Love this guy
The real top G
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯
One million bucks was worth a billion back then. This man defines the meaning of obligation. He gave up everything he loved, for the Love of his family in a most timely manner. Hands down the greatest.
The only boxer than never loss in reality
Perfect record.
Now days boxers are a joke.
the best boxer of all time just based off his will, when mind is powerful then so is body he was the greatest hitter of all time in boxing
Possibly the greatest ever.
Ali is my favourite heavyweight ever but I think Marciano was greater than him.
I think Rocky Marciano was the best all around boxer and person of all time. Sugar Ray Robinson was another one. You have to have love in your heart for years to be like these great men. Can’t copy them. Our country was in good shape back then.
The Greatest
A great fighter, I sure hope The Rock made it to heaven.
Does St. Peter have the courage to tell him, "No, you can't enter"?
Heard this about a large grizzly, once:
Where does a 1500lb grizzly sleep?
Answer: Anywhere he wants. - Change names, and dialogue, and you got it.
What a awesome inspiration he was and a great champion, big respect ROCKY...
90% of Marciano's opponents were of dubious quality with terrible records. Considering his best opposition was on the downward slide, and the fact that he "Quit" during his "Prime", his 49-0 is very misleading and deceptive. Because it was commonplace to have 70 fights like Louis and Walcott, or 121 like Charles, or even 219 like Moore had.

A smart man knows when to quit. He was making money in other ways anyway…endorsements, pubic speaking and such.
Excuses, all of those guys were in their primes when Marciano beat them. Walcott was the reigning world champion at the time so it’s ridiculous to say he wasn’t in his prime when he fought Marciano. Moore was the reigning light heavyweight champ and jumped up to heavyweight to fight Marciano (who actually weighed less than him when they fought).

*Marciano - 184 with the shortest ever 67" flyweight reach*
*Charles - 181 with the lowest ever 42% KO's*
*Moore - 175 light heavyweight champion from 1952 to 1962*
Rocky fans always knew his post war drained era had an expiration date and that time has arrived. He was never tested against genuine topnotch 200+lbs Heavyweights let alone authentic topnotch 224+lbs Super Heavyweights.
But he went 49-0, yes he did, against who?
Middleweights and light heavyweights
masquerading as Heavyweights.
Walcott was at least 40,
Moore was at least 42,
Charles factually had ALS and Louis was washed.
*Rocky never fought an all-time great in his prime.*
Heck, in my opinion today's light heavyweight phenom Artur Beterbiev would annihilate Marciano! Rocky was flat-footed wide open and never used the jab.
*Rocky's era was undoubtedly without a doubt*
*the absolute worst Heavyweight division in boxing history!*
Famous physicist Stephen Hawking lived with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) or Lou Gehrig's disease for 55 years after he was diagnosed in 1963. Ezzard Charles said he first noticed the ailment in 1951, *"after a guy hit me, I didn't seem to be able to get away,"* he recalled, *"I didn't have the same coordination."* Ezzard himself, his family, Lou Duva, Burt Sugar, Ezzard's trainer's Ray Arcel, Jimmy Brown, Chickie Ferrera and Bill Gore all said they noticed signs of ALS in 1951. *--William Dettloff’s book 'Ezzard Charles: A Boxing Life'* ... There's no room for debate. Too many reputable witnesses. Charles was 100% factually handicapped when he fought Marciano! *Any questions about the validity then I'd suggest filing defamation lawsuits against Ezzard, his family, all his trainers, Duva, Sugar and Dettloff.*
This guy punched a heavy bag for 8 hours straight that's why he was undefeated
Many modern boxers and promoters should watch this and learn that its not all about the money
Rocky was not only tough, he is smart too. He knew when its time so stop. He is a wiseman. 😅😂
What a good man,RIP LEGEND.
1M dollars in that time is like 60 millions now
Yeah dude
I’m pretty sure that’s in the 10-20 million range
Thank you for this short , best I ever seen in my life ❤
Un italiano che ci ha fatto onore W l’Italia 🇮🇹
They said the longer the fight went on the stronger 💪 Rocky got imagine if he had the modern day chemistry that they have today all respect for Marciano
The most Underrated boxer of all time 😔
Roccooo❤❤🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹
He was a white Mike Tyson without the anger issues 🥊🥊🥊
A black man with anger issues - who would have thunk it - why would a privileged class of people have anger issues and Rocky being a second class citizen and oppressed by USA government should have anger issues.
@@C-bo2584 makes you wonder 🤔
He looks like a mafia boss
😂😂😂😂
One hellva of a man
Roky marciano la misma época de mí padre
The greatest! ,enough said RIP legend !!!!
The real Mr.49-0
SOLDIER
I respect his work ethic. Beast in training
"ROCKY MARCIANO" COULD RECEIVE PUNCHES AND GIVE IT AS WELL,ALL THE ROUNDS THE SAME WAY,MY GOD I DON'T THINK THERE'S A HUMAN NOWDAYS THAT CAN FIGHT THAT WAY,IS AN IMPOSIBLE FIGHTING FOR ANY HUMAN THESE DAYS!!
My name is marciano this is who I was named after 🐐
he was a brawler inside the ring ... outside , he was a modest guy .
btw , deep respect for that " family comes first " .
I Think This Is When Humanity Had RESPECT,,,,,,Look At The Face Offs And The Trash Talk Know And The Way Its Presented,,Not A Good Stepping Stone For The Youngsters,,,,,Yet Alot Of Those Fighters Have Kids That Are Learning All The Badness,,,,,They Should B Setting A Good Example Plus Alot Of The Other Sports Personalities,,,,,Good Man Mr R/M🤛👍
I. Love rocky. Marciano. He. Is. So. Humble. Family. First. And. He. Is. A. Strait. Up. Killer
My idol
Roland LaStarza: am I a joke to you?
He’s lucky Liston started boxing late in life
The greatest ever
GOAT
Such a shame that his time with his family was cut so tragically short.
I wish I Grew up in those Times!!!
A million in 1956, and Rocky turned it down.
Imagine the amount that must have been in the bank?!
I lived in Brockton. legend
Archie Moore was factually born December 13, 1913. He moved up in weight to fight Marciano at the age of 41. Imagine if Marciano was 41 and moved up in weight to fight 31 year old Moore? The fallacy that Moore was prime at 41 is not only misleading but humanly and scientifically impossible.
no I heard he was 51 😂🤣😭
Nice guy cool man
As a cruiserweights worth little 5' 9" 185lb Marciano receives 7 out of 10 score. But as a Heavyweights worth he only receives a 2 out of 10 score when compared to topnotch Super Heavyweights Fury Ibeabuchi Lewis Vitali Foreman Bruno Ruddock Witherspoon Joyce Parker Wladimir just to name a few.
Greatest boxer ever.
💪
i say Mayweather but I can't argue against rock Marciano, I just love the fact they never lost. that's pride with it.
It's pretty cool personally for me that he has a similar build to me
The man was a gym rat. That’s a good term. Trained. And trained. Consummate gentleman. No trash talk. Respect. In the ring he was relentless. Did not know the meaning of pain. And he could hit with underrated hand speed. He was fast. People forget that.
🐐
He would give you a chance then KO you Rest RM🕊️🕊️🕊️🙏🙏🙏🥊🥊🥊🥊
Boxers were far more likeable then as opposed to now. When you look at guys like Ryan Garcia and Gervonta Davis, it makes you wonder why they don’t act like this anymore.
Earlier after the war people like the humble people...now in the time of less violence people like the more showoff guys
A closer glance at Joe Louis 8 fight winning streak which helped him become #1 ranked contender before he faced Rocky. Below is the (6) (SIX) boxers Louis beat:
196 lb Cesar Brian -- Decision -- Brian never beat anyone noteworthy. He had abysmal 36% KO's
197 lb Cesar Brian -- Decision AGAIN -- Why Twice?
187 lb Omelio Agramonte -- Decision -- I watched entire fight and Joe's combinations were non-existent. Agramonte had low-power 45% KOs. The announcer said Louis was supposed to fight Charles after the Savold fight but Louis camp ducked him.
188 lb Omelio Agramonte -- Decision AGAIN -- Why Twice?
191 lb Freddie Beshore -- KO 28-10-1 Freddie had featherfisted 24% KO's
194 lb Andy Walker -- TKO 17-8-7 B-level Andy was powderpuffer with 18% KO's
179 lb Jimmy Bivens -- Decision - 5' 9" light heavyweight Jimmy had 25 losses and was KOd 5 times. He also had an abysmal 27% KO's
190 lb Lee Savold -- KO -- Savold lost 44 fights and was KOd 12 times. Even the announcer said Joe Louis reflexes are but a memory. These two should have been retired. They just pushed Louis through towards Marciano so everyone could fill their pockets with money.
Talk about bum-of-the-month-club, WOW. Notice the 5 decisions. A prime 24 year old (1938) speedy combination puncher Joe Louis would have easily accumulated 8 knockouts against those powder-puffers. It was obviously a predetermined carefully hand-picked set-up.
So Joe comes outta retirement and takes the worst beating of his career from a light heavyweight (Charles) then he fights 6 stiffs and becomes #1 ranked contender smh. Joe looked like he was wadding through mud when he fought Rocky.
Boxing-elites Italian-mafioso and IRS really needed Joe to be ranked #1 inorder to get their Louis vs Marciano $$-SHOW-$$. The entire eastern seaboard was ruled by Italians. The only loyalty the Italian-mob-had was-to-money.
Hey they even took 50% of Marciano's earnings and all ticket sales, all in all $2 Million. $2 Million in 1955 is equivalent to $21 Million today. Norris Carbo Weill had complete control over Rocky. That's why he Quit.
The Louis camp negotiated a deal with the IRS under which he would come out of retirement, with all his net proceeds going to the IRS. After boxing Joe ended up in the pro wrestling circuit and they still took his money. But that gig finished when Cowboy Rocky Lee lunged onto him with both feet, his boots colliding with Louis' torso. The crash cracked three of his ribs. It left him with a cardiac contusion and officially ended his stint as a wrestler. Children used to send him one dollar in the mail. In his biography he said a child walked up and handed him a dime. When Joe was broken physically and mentally the IRS finally stopped collecting. He lived with friends until he died.
Louis in his prime was dropped by two ton Tony galento who was a beer drinking fat guy. And Louis lost to max schmeling in their first fight. Not to mention billy conn, a light heavyweight outboxed a prime Louis.
That’s all true, but you can’t blame Rocky for taking the fight. He didn’t want to, Louis was his idol and he believed him to be the greatest of all time, the two became friends after the fight and Rocky financially helped Louis in the 60’s
@@garbanzo_bean Galento was fat, but an awkward, powerful puncher who earned his status as a contender, even beating Lou Nova who beat Max Baer twice, of course Louis KO’d him in 4. Max Schmeling was an all time great heavyweight who was consistently the overall best heavyweight of the 1930’s ranked in the Ring top 10 every year, several years as 1. Slick fleetfooted Billy Conn while troubling Louis was KO’d both times by Louis.
@@garbanzo_bean Marciano in his prime was Dropped by Journeyman Walcott (49W 20L) and 41 year old light heavyweight Archie Moore who was moonlighting as a Heavyweight because the division was completely void of any real genuine Heavyweights.
@@James_T_Finnegan and Muhammad Ali would go on to fight Moore later but for some reason everyone forgets that fight….
Well spoken. Obviously didn't take too many in the head.
Unbeaten is the story of an immigrant son who chased the American dream in the middle of the 20th Century. Marciano’s story unfolds in the back alleys of New England and the musty gyms of New York in the years after World War 2. Rocky moved through a romantic era of guys and dolls, hustlers and gamblers, crusty trainers and sleazy managers, glamorous celebrities and notorious mobsters.
What I knew about Marciano before I read the book Unbeaten was that he cowardly retired during his prime right before he would have had to fight the lik' of Patterson, Liston, and Clay to name just a few. I did not know about his conduct during World War 2 that got him locked up in jail for 2 years. I did not know of the mob's influence in his career.
Nor did i realize that his list of opponents while he was champion were of dubious quality. Joe Louis was far beyond his prime. Journeyman Joe Walcott was 38/39 years old. Former middleweight turned light heavyweight grandfather Archie Moore was 41 and Ezzard Charles best years were behind him at light heavyweight.
For the last decade of his life Marciano wandered America, disillusioned, untrusting, hiding his money, cheating on his wife, consorting with the mobsters and loansharking. He hung around with Frank Sinatra and a number of "made guys." Rocky was not a good businessperson and was lousy with investing and saving money. He left his family penniless. Again his boxing record is offset by the low level of his opponents. He died relatively young in a plane crash due to his complete disregard of intentionally flying during horrible weather conditions inorder to collect money.
Great write
