I can't believe it, but someone made a highlite of my favorite boxer of all time. He did a pretty good job of it too. I wish there were more clips of his KO's and his fight with Moore, the last round gives me chills when they are trading. This is pretty good though, and you get to see why Marciano was the best of his era and one of the greatest of all time. I've heard Lou Duva say "He was the greatest pure fighter boxing has seen" and Mills Lane calls him the toughest man he's seen in all his years in boxing. Never say die attitude, power to spare, and an unrelenting style made him an absolute killer.

Nice music :lol

He doesn't look so special from these clips though...the Ali one was much more impressive IMO
 
I remember Moore said something like "You didn't understand what a great fighter Marciano was until he got into the ring with him. Then you understood he was truly great".

Marciano didn't really have a flashy style, because his was simple. Just break the man down with as many full power punches as he could possibly throw, figtht out of a crouch, don't back up, just wreck the other guy.
