Looking at his body, you truly can see that it's pure clean training without steroids or extra muscle mass

If the goal of the music selection was to make the viewer feel some kind of nostalgia,then it worked.

I admire the kind of shape he was in and his record, but mostly what I like about him is that he seems like he was a decent guy.

a true boxer and a real man.

Best conditioned fighter who ever lived.. 49-0 43 KO's...champ from 1952-1956. HUGE heart....great stamina...great power...great chin...broke bones and blood vessels...very high work rate...never took a backward step...just kept coming. Classy and humble guy outside the ring. Died in airplane crash on August 31, 1969...the day before his 46th birthday.

Marciano is an excellent example of what a man can accomplish only by his will and determination.He fought with heart.Anabolics were not an option back then.The only way up was the hard one.He shows that everything is possible.

It's amazing to see the shape and condition he was in without any of the modern technology we have today. No supplements, no strength and conditioning coaches, just good old fashion roadwork.

Muhammad Ali once said the one fighter he doesn't think he would be able to beat was rocky Marciano More Heart determination and desire to win than any other fighter in history

Pure strength pure muscles.49-0 bby he is a legend..

He probably had stamina close to an olympic distance runner if not better...

He had the presence of a bare knuckle bar room brawler ,but the discipline, focus, concentration and professional approach of a gold medal athlete

Rocky Marciano was a brilliant fighter probably the Most well conditioned boxer of all time, His first fight with jersey joe Wallcott is a real classic.

"In my opinion, Marciano was the most underrated heavyweight of all time. He had so much morer than they ever gave him credit for. He was capable of getting these bigger, heavier guys and destroying them". -Angelo Dundee "His heart, she's so big, she does not believe in defeat. He'll fight anybody, and bleed and bleed and bleed, but he always comes back". -Marcel Cerdan (made the statement in the gym, had no idea who Marciano was at the time, and didn't live to see Rocky become a champion)

A TRUE MAN,A TRUE WARRIOR,A TRUE BOXER.MY IDOL, FOREVER ROCKY MARCIANO

Rocky Marciano was one very strong dangerous fighter. I wouldn't want to fight or get hit by him. I can't think of one fighter who could beat him in a 15 round fight if it went 15 rounds. His endurance was tremendous. He was just as dangerous in the 15th round as he was in the earlier part of the fight. You had to kill him to win. He'd fight you to the bitter end.

R.I.P best fighter EVER!!!

My motivation when i hit the heavy bag is Rocky Marciano , kept me going for 30 years.

Everything Rocky did in training had a purpose. Analyze how he moved his head on the speed bag. See how he uses the exact same movements in his fights. It wasn't just power in his hands which were very small and fragile. It was the positioning from where he threw his shots. Notice how his inside boxing on the heavy bag was meant to breakdown and destroy his opponent never giving them a chance to breathe. More so than just outworking his opponent he would out think the unfortunate man. I mean.. If it came down to it he'd just crush your head with the overhand right and don't think you could hide. Ducking or leaning down to avoid his punches would result in a smooth bludgeoning to the back or top of the head as seen in his KO of Ezzard Charles. He was always thinking in the ring. A true professional. I won't say he's the best ever but I can say he was a blessing to the sport. Someone any boxer from any era could learn from. RIP ROCKY..

such a nostalgic video, I remember watching it 7 years ago, and it has always given me the same feeling of peace, seeing rocky training with that song in the background, as if life was just something fleeting but beautiful

You can teach someone how to throw a punch right. You can teach somebody how to bob and weave, and slip punches. You can teach footwork. You can't teach heart, desire, and a "never-say-die" attitude. And Marciano has more heart than almost anybody in his era. The guy just flat out wouldn't quit.

The choice of music for this montage is really good. So much better than the loud, in-your-face rubbish that normally accompanies these boxing videos. It reminds me of the opening of raging bull. It is also rather poignant, seeing this man in the prime of this life, smiling and training, knowing that his life would be cut tragically short. A great video all around, needs more views and appreciation.

This video makes me cry.

I respect this man. He was one of a kind...

What made marciano really strong wasnt his body size, they said his back muscles were really amazing. must be where he got his power from.

The greatest boxer to ever walk on the ring with the best conditioning

What a great fighter he was. What a great champion. My favourite fighter of all time.

Rocky Marciano is the greatest boxer of all time in my book, the man was just the best of his time and is the only person to hold the heavyweight title and go untied and undefeated throughout his career!

relentless ,big heart,tough mother, punches came from many angles other than his chin IMO that was one of his greatest assets

Totally see now where Stallone got his inspiration from for Rocky! Great fighter

Humans were never meant to fly, two of my hero's dead from crashes, Rocky in a plane crash, SRV in a helicopter crash, sad times :(

Rocky was the champ of champions. Nobody was like him before or since. Pro record: 49-0 w/43 KO's. Rest in peace, champ.

HEROES GET REMEMBERED,BUT LEGENDS NEVER DIE!😎🇮🇹☝️🐐

Marciano is one of my all time favourite fighters, The first jersey joe wallcott fight and the 2 ezzard charles fights really stand out, I have them on DVD, There great fights to watch real classics.

Tragedy what happened to this man, dead in 69’ day before his birthday. He was and still is a role model to many including myself, he left behind a hell of a legacy which is yet to be beaten. Rest easy champ, keep punching Rock 🥊

It's impossible to fully appreciate the level of determination and the pure, unadulterated HARD WORK required to achieve Rocky's level of fitness. I believe most of what makes elite athletes great is a product of nature - can't be taught/learned. But extreme fitness is not as dependent upon superior genetics, so it *can* be achieved if one has the iron will and single-minded purpose that drove The Brockton Blockbuster! A good - but not great - natural athlete...5"10"...68" reach..not graceful...not especially quick or fast..and fighting [and BEATING] the heavyweight champs of his era at an average of 185 lbs! It simply doesn't matter where Rocky Marciano ranks among the all-time greats. Those are academic arguments never to be won. What matters is this man absolutely *maximized* his potential, which can [and should] serve as a genuine inspiration for all of us.

Fighters were probably way tougher back then.

In the blue corner the Greatest of all Time Rocky Marciano!!!!'

Used to be in camp for months on end........machine !!!!

In spring of 1955 went with my father to watch Rocky Marciano train for the May Hvwt title fight against Brit champ Don Cockell. The fight was in SF but Marciano trained in Calistoga, 25 miles north of Napa, CA. This was Italian country, and I remember Marciano riding up and down the streets of Napa in a Lincoln convertible. A crowd gathered and you'd think Garibaldi himself had arrived. I'll never forget Marciano's punching power close up; he knocked the bag off the hook...KO'd DC in 9.

Absolutely love Rocky

The champ of all time!

HW Goat. no need to talk trash just pure action,

Rocky was a humble human person/ feeling for others. Just looking at his body, you can tell that he was pure in every workout. He was one in a million and never lost a single fight. A great champ. r.i.p.

Rocky was incredibly tough. He got his nose split to ribbons and still kept fighting, winning the match when most fighters would've been psychologically destroyed

This song and this video help me a lot in a very difficult moment of my life, thanks for so much.

Ezzard Charles was only about a year or two old than Marciano. Walcott was the champ when Marciano took his title. The dude was phenomenal!

Such a handsome man.

I really like the speed bag footage. reminds me of watching tyson on the speed bag when he would randomly start slipping and moving his head from the speed bag like marciano is doing

He's the best hw

I firmly believe that he would have defeated Joe Louis and Muhammad Ali in their prime. Marciano is definitely the hardest puncher in boxing history.

There's nothing like the old school :)

Phenomenal shape

The Rock's high level training and incredible stamina gave him the ability to keep coming on even during brutal, long fights. His opponents would marvel at Rocky's ability to keep throwing punches at a fast clip so there was no escaping because he never backed up. He was strong but he was lean. He was losing on points to Jersey Joe Walcott who was a brilliant defensive fighter and a great boxer but Marciano kept comin until he caught Walcott with a crushing right that ended it, one of the most devastating punches in boxing history. Jersey Joe was a bigger man but Rocky stalked him until he finished it. 49-0

Fuckin legend.

Amazing video, The music selection is perfect. Mr.Marciano was a real champ. Nothing but Respect.

Used to watch this when I was 18 so about 12 years ago, had been boxing for 3 years, crazy coming across this video again. Memories :') thanks for keeping this one up

I love this footage, this man knew his skills were not as good as some but Rocky,s durability, conditioning and sheer hitting power made up for all that. We should mention his trainer Charley Goldman a great boxer in his day who changed Rocky,s technique, stance, balance. Rocky will always be the main man in my eyes

Simply the Greatest Who Ever Lived, bar none.

The habit of stating some up and coming fighter would have beat Marciano is about as useful as saying if I had known today's lottery ticket numbers yesterday I would have won big time!. Many great fighters tried and failed to beat Marciano - he paid his dues- the guy was the one and only Heavyweight Champion who's ever retired undefeated- and no amount of wishing will take that title away from him. He was one great fighter and showing respect to him should be common sense but common sense isn't as common as it once was- especially in the younger fight crowd.

My all time favourite. I've been an amateur boxing coach for twenty years. Rocky was the man. Thank you for uploading this footage of him.

marciano and ali, best of all times.

Il più grande di tutti !!!!!💪👊

No one ever beat him, he had stamina, and a exceptionally durable chin. Marciano maybe the greatest of them all.

he was amazing, never heard of a fighter like him before, someone who never lost a single fight in his career. God rest his soul

Tan solo 86 kilos pero hasta el momento sigue siendo el único campeón invicto de los pesos pesados, solo una palabra lo describe "tenacidad"

Rocky was as strong as an ox.

This makes me so happy for some reason lol

This man is truly an inspiration he’s one of the all time greats Rest In Peace champ this man is a legend

The Best of the Best!

wicked cool vid. thanks for posting

Thank you for sharing this. I am a huge Rocky Marciano fan.

Thank you for choosing nice music. Not sure why many content creators feel the need to use something rude, crude, aggressive, intense...either heavy metal or rap/hip-hop. This music just supports the video footage without drawing undue attention to itself. Toward the end I'm not clutching the arms of my chair feeling anxious! Much appreciated.

His power came from his legs

That song reminds me of my childhood

One of the greats. Thanks for sharing this.

One of the hardest workers. Always putting in the miles behind the scenes.

This footage was shot at Grossinger's in the Catskills. The quonset hut at 3:45 is gone but the foundation is still there. It can be seen here binged.it/1OffoVf as the large white rectangle at the top right. The farmhouse where he lived was in the lower left surrounded by the bushes that form 3 sides of a square. If you're a Rocky fan it's worth the pilgrimage to stand with greatness.

Wins 49 Defeat 0 Just legend

He had phenomenal punching power and stamina. His opponents all said that.

He had a natural instinct to train hard.....and fight even harder,..and that gave him the edge over everyone he fought,...it wasn't just his power,....but his intense self belief,....he couldn't lose,.....and never did....a true warrior of the ring

Cool stuff

His record dose speak for himself

thank u for the video of the great man and legend rocky marciano.R.I.P. ROCKO

the most beautiful music you could possibly put to a clip like this. making the training and sparring to be so poeticly beautiful. bring memories and thoughts of an era sinces past away

Greatest fighter

No finess with him but you dont need finess to be a killer. He was just one rough and rugged guy with a body made of granite and and an endless gas tank. It must have been a nightmare of an experience for the guys that fought him

The Marciano Machine Does not get tired Good video It is a quality piece also with the instrumental

Great video thanx !

The size of that bag tho

The goat

THANK YOU SOOO MUCH FOR UPLOADING THIS RARE FOOTAGE OF MY NUMBER 1 ALL TIME FAVOURITE LEGEND - ROCKY MARCIANO!!! :-)

thanks for sharing some amazing footage

these times was real boxers without steroids

The Rock was slim and trim, and in good shape. Wish I could get into the kind of condition.

Great video and the music accompanying it is fabulous. Will bring a tear to any great fight fan's eye. Thanks so very much. Rocky was and always will be the greatest!

Thanks for the video, COMPLETEBOXING

True old school. He's weight 185 pounds, but he hits like bull. It's not fucking Fury and another pieces of shit, it's a real deal

fucking legend

I remember my father telling me when he saw this man box . The entire crowd were on their feet to try to prepare to catch the anticipating for ever great moment of delivering a great knock out . My father said they never realized that they were living in the universe of this mans era .

Great video!Rocky was animal.
