Rocky Marciano vs Ezzard Charles I - June 17, 1954 - Round 10, 15 & Decision 

Calzaghe Lacy?

What an amazing boxer Rocky was too. I mean, just look here as he stamps Charles around like a bull pawing at a careless matador

uh he was more of a cruiserweight back then. If he competed today he would be fighting in the cruiserweight division

@@sexydudeuk2172 more like a light heavyweight

two freaking warriors right there. Marciano called Charles, "the bravest man I ever fought".

How many losses did the BEST Heavyweight Champions of All Time have: Lewis 2,, Holmes 6,, Ali 5,, Vitali 2,, Foreman 5,, Tyson 6,, Wladimir 5,, Bowe 1,, Liston 4,, Louis 3,, Holyfield 10,, Frazier 4,, Norton 7,, Tunney 1,, Dempsey 6,, Jack Johnson 11....Who's missing? Oh, little Marciano is missing. Why? "SHOW ME A HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION WITHOUT A LOSS AND I'LL SHOW YOU A FIGHTER THAT FOUGHT A LOT OF NOBODIES" -- Lennox Lewis Cruiserweight Journeyman Jersey Joe Walcott 49W 20L 39-Year Old Club Fighter. Joe Louis 66W 3L Over The Hill Came Back From The Dead Before Count Dracula Of Transylvania Did. Middleweight-Lightheavyweight-Lightcruiserweight-Ezzard Charles 95W 25L Club Fighter With More Beatings Than Curley of The Three Stooges. Welterweight-Middleweight-Lightheavyweight-Lightcruiserweight-Archie Moore 186W 23L 41-Year Old Grandfather was Factually Born in 1913. Archie was Already Fightin Professionally When tiny Rocky was Only 12-Years Old!!! Pick a Decade.. 60s,, 70s,, 80s,, 90s,, 2000s? He would have been destroyed in all of them! Little Marciano only steered towards zombies and mediocre opposition at best.. "Fight No One and Quit While You Are Ahead"

@@black_David_bobbyd5276 lol where did I say that Rocky Marciano was the greatest heavyweight champion ever?

It's a shame neither is a real-Heavyweight

The pace should be staggering for light heavyweights

I think Rocky's performance in this video leads me to consider him a definite top 3.

What else did you expect from a light heavyweight with tiny dwarfism-arms

Charles is a light heavyweight moonlighting at little cruiserweight

Even if Marciano woulda fought a prime Moore or prime Charles he would still be fightin Light heavyweights who were both knocked out by Middleweights (Marshall & Booker). And even if ya wanna pretend they were in their primes the point is Marciano still stuggled with Light heavyweights.

sherom and this is after 14 brutal rounds of combat too!!!!!! Wow.

No weight training and plenty of road work.

YES I AGREE IT WAS GREAT WATCHING CLIPS

@@vinmed4707 hush, don't talk unless you have something to add

These men are truly fantastic specimens. Rocky's bull charge - it's so trippy to watch. I don't think I ever noticed it so apparent as here. Rocky wanted to take him out so bad but probably not enough left but to score decisively with 25% punches

IV ALWAYS SAID THAT EZZARD TUFF LIKE YOU SAID ...HIS FACE REALLY LOOKED BAD AFTER FIGHT

See that's my point ya Walcott beat YOUNGER FIGHTERS.. But got beat by ANOTHER young FIGHTER MARCIANO AND HES CRITICIZED IT IS WHAT IS

MY HONEST OPINION THATS THE BEST THING IV EVER HEARD. WE THINK ALIKE LOL ...BUT YA JUST ENJOY WATCHING BOTH GREAT FIGHTERS THE TIME IT WAS HOW THE SPORT HAS CHANGED....IM A 3RD GENARATION CANADIAN ITALIAN I JUST THINK MARCIANO WAS GOOD FOR HIS ERA...THERE' WERE MANY GREAT BOXERS AND CHAMPS ..I DONT HAVE TO MENTION THEM WE KNOW WHO THEY WERE ...GOOD LUCK MR FISHER . .

@@vinmed4707 Ya but what one of the champs from other decades can punch like that in round 15. None of them!!!!

stout krout you filthy mouthed deranged racist perverted lying skinny diry old pervert(all fact) why do you have a womens belt holding your tight little shorts up to your chest haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa ha ha ha a ha :)))))

@@jabbingjack8022 What a classic. You're the best ever jabbing jack. If i met you i would call you the KING of all kings. You COMPLETELY DISMANTLED and DESTROYED Stout Krout for many years. EPIC 👍

Unlimited Stamina.

Marcianos smaller than he was

angry grizzly - how do you know what any boxer was on back then you clueless moron??

Rocky marciano una máquina de tirar con una pegada bestial con las 2 manos incansable Ricky grandes peleas cov ezzard charles archie moore Walcot joe louis etc. Sin dudas uno de los mejores boxeadores de todos los tiempos el 1 Sugar Ray Robinson 2 Rocky Marciano

Its more fighting...today its more boxing...the sport has evolved..as all other sports...U would have probably enjoyed the older boxers from the 1800's even more than these! But many enjoy what we call today "the sweet science"!

Callum Hamilton How's that?

The great Don Dunphy!

that's Don Dunphy

Tara, this broadcast was on the radio, too. The announcer had to give a blow by blow description.

@@francisbrennan1424 sure, different era...

you know if they still had Fighters like this today to UFC would have never got off the ground unfortunately we don't the boy did they have Fighters back in those days

From your three words i can make a word with the letters. Granite

he was a big fan of rocky he had the same aggressive but better defense in his prime

He got his style from Jack Dempsey.

Angry Grizzly You are definitely allowed to think that. Even tho I see 1 - 0 rounds rocky will win against the great Muhammad Ali. I mean let’s be totally honest the only fights ever lost were fights he didn’t train for or wasn’t in shape. He would’ve been undefeated if not the lay-ok. Ok, so tell me how you think the fight will go with Rocky’s reach at like 68 inches to Ali’s 80 inch reach?

Angry Grizzly Ali was overweight at that time as well. 1969 a year before he fought Jerry Quarry. You can still see the flesh on Ali’s ribs in that fight. And even in that you can tell Ali was being gentle with him not using his hooks and right crosses with much power so that fight I can’t even make out as the real one. Now Chuvalo made his kidneys bleed (Although Ali let him hit him there) Ali used that man for target practice. Marciano’s reach is shorter than Chuvalos and Joe Frazier so I definitely don’t see a win-win for him

Angry Grizzly If Ali said that, then he was being modest bc he said he didn’t wanna fight Chuvalo again either and had a rematch in 1972. He never fought Frazier again unless he was in top notch condition, same with Norton. I mean a fast, quick, stronger & brilliant fighter like Ali would definitely win on points if not by TKO in the 7th round. Rocky never fought someone like Ali and if Rocky really fought a top condition Ali then he would’ve been in the post conference interview looking like a welted tomato 🍅 with swollen jaws, cuts and bruises. And IF that fight was really real in 1969, when rocky would pin Ali in the corners EVERYONE knows Ali is not gonna just sit in the corner covering up for 20 seconds without holding behind the neck. Come on! I watched that fight thinking “Why the fuck Ali just letting him bang at the body???” It shouldn’t even look like that till the 13th round when he done slowed down and even THEN he ain’t letting that shit happen. I’m talking bout a 1966 Ali.

angry grizzly (aka stout krout) you filthy dirty lying cowardly racist old pervert(ALL FACT)facts combined with simple boxing knowledge suggest that a prime ali beats a prime marciano dont they gregory?????? letsgo through those facts one byone ay gregory??? you wont cause you know you will get proper owned you dirty skinny old pervert?????????

@@jabbingjack8022 Ali would have hugged him like his girlfriend as soon as Rock started clubbing and back in those days he wouldn't get away with it as easily.

"Ali's skill was unmatched" Jimmy Young gave Ali a boxing lesson to end all boxing lessons.

You were looking for an argument or likes?

Stop smoking that stuff!

@Angry Grizzly it's true forever

ANGRY GRIZZLY = CLUELESS MORONIC TROLL, FACT.

studentofscumscience- same old trolling and lies ha ha ha ha what a moron you are!!! your absolutly clueless about boxing aren't you??? i can prove it with ease!!!

charles is a superior boxer to muhammad ali ..its called rocky wore him out with the body attack and the pace he was setting!

I mean these are the late rounds. Charles was an exemplary bob and weave boxer. Not as reliant on it as Ali as he had more pund for pound punching force. But you fight Marciano for this many rounds you start to run out of gas. And the moment he corners you, Rocky will not quit untill you either slip out of range or go down.

@@samtotheg ....You guys kill me. LMAO!! Charles was a better boxer than Ali???? LMAO AGAIN!!!

@@tommygun5038 yes he did everything better than ali ...he can hook and uppercut and infight (ali didnt do those things well) he had bettter defense than ali(ezzard didnt get hit with 400 left hooks like ali did agaisnt frazier) only thing ali got better is a jab ...! ezzard had trickier footwork too!

@@samtotheg .......Sure he was that's why Charles is considered the GOAT Heavyweight and Ali just some obscure boxer nobody under 50 has even heard of.......oh wait. Lol

Lmfao 😂 when men were men lmfao 😂 so you're a little girl? Dumass!!!

U got the IQ of a rock

patty nice Charles just 2 years older get your facts rite

LOL not even close. Ali wins tko 7-8 rds

@Jabbing Jack You are forgetting that Rocky was OUT-WEIGHED and OUT-REACHED in more than 70% of the contests he had - YET - he won the VERY MOST OF THEM by a KO-out! Not just Archie Moore or Jersey J. walcott - almost ALL of his contenders not only WEIGHED more, but had a much better reach. ...but there was something in Rocky that wasn't just "numbers" - his STAMINA, PREPARATION, FOCUS, WILL and SHEER - ALMOST "ANIMAL" DETERMINATION would overcome almost every opponent - you just don't meet guys like him anymore in pro-boxing!... MOREOVER - he was NO "LOUD-MOUTH" - he HATED all this "new-business-promotional-shit" that was getting into boxing already at the times of Alì (to tell the truth he didn't even like Alì much) - not because he didn't like his person, but because he thought that you (to put it simply!) - "TALK" ONLY ON and THROUGH the Ring. In nowadays boxing what is most important is "THE SHOW" and NOT the FIGHT itself.

The issue with Louis is he doesn't fight as good inside or in a crouch. And the way Marciano approaches - low, kinda sideways, leaning back in his stance, sometimes both hands held out in front and ready to block/counter - makes it very difficult to hit him cleany from range and set up strong combinations which was the key to Louis's dominance. A lot of the problems Louis had in his actual fight with Marciano would have held true in a fight during his peak because they were technical issues. Rocky would be a tremendous challenge for Louis in his prime because while his speed and durability were better, stylistically he's not a good match for Rocky.

The thing is though at the time Marciano was competiting the diviosn was rather weak at the time and the top guys he beat Walcott Louis etc were all past their prime and he never fought a hard hitter either. I think he would have struggled against much bigger opponents and even todays heavyweights such as Tyson and the Klitschkos I think would beat him.

@@2serveand2protect yes marciano was definitely the goat i say the only boxer to beat him is a prime mike tyson because he was aggressive but defensive at the same time

@@leodavies9383 ...PRIME "Iron-Mike" (in his best years)! Ouh, HELL YEAH! ! Definitely! :) ...and strangely enough - Mike Tyson had a similar way of fighting - similar "style" - I mean - very aggressive and...you know! ...very "physical"!... ;)

Ali was defeated 5 times. 56-5. Rocky 49-0 GOAT Unblemished as professional.

​@@GratefulPerson1956 Floyd Mayweather is also undefeated. Does that make him better than Sugar Ray Robinson, Roberto Duran, Ray Leonard or Thomas Hearns? Bill Russell won more NBA championships than anyone. Was he a better player than Michael Jordan? Ali was undefeated when they took his title away. During the time he was champion, no one came close to beating him. He rarely lost a round. When he came back after 3 years away from boxing, he wasn't the same fighter. He never fought in his prime, but he was still good enough to beat a whole new generation of fighters and win back the championship. George Chuvalo fought a lot like Rocky, except he was bigger than Rocky. That's how I see a fight with Rocky vs Ali going. No disrespect to Rocky. He was great. He was strong, tough, determined- and had tremendous willpower. He was undefeated, yes, but if you look at his record, you'll see that early in his career he fought several guys with losing records. Now, to be fair, it wasn't unusual for trainers and managers to spoon feed novice fighters with easy opponents. It was meant to build their confidence. But Ali never fought a guy with a losing record at any time in his career.

Rocky knocks out Ali inside 15 rounds.

Alis a hugger. In an actual fight Rock wins.

This guy was a beast son. You're nuts

I THINK I KNOW WHY YOU SAY THAT LIKE MANY OTHER PEOPLE..ETHNICITY

Marciano fought his own brother at least three times, and that is a proven fact. You can kiss my Black ass if you don't like it. I ain't hiding and I'm real easy to find.

+Kenneth Payton Marciano is ur father

+La Verga En La Que Te Sientas : Yeah, but who is your daddy boy? I guarantee you that you don't know who your sorry ass father is. You're a piece of shit.

Joe Louis was mixed with a white man and a black women

+La Verga En La Que Te Sientas I am not even going to reply to this statement. You should read it to yourself slowly in order to see how silly you sound: "Only Some." Lmao! You are one of us, little brother; unfortunately, you do not know yourself. Check for yourself: The Blackman's blood is SO potent that just ONE DROP means that you are Black. Welcome home, BROTHER!
