@Stout Krout He didn't get knocked out either.

@Gardner Barnes I guess nobody bothers to make soccer videos.

Went the distance? TKO in the 9th round ain't going the distance.

@M And your point would be ?

Cockell was on his way out but the fight was stopped it was a TKO round 9

@Gardner Barnes I'm with you on that mate! I'd rather put bamboo screwers under my fingernails than watch a bunch of snowflakes kick a ball around!

@Gardner Barnes haha yeah mate absolutely pathetic .

@Gardner Barnes haha good for you mate. I like to have fun with people every now and then too 😉. In regards to the basketball reference absolutely. I'm sad to say it man but when there's that much money involved in something there are always going to be problems. Same with boxing but the difference is I can tell a real fight from a flop when I see it.

@Gardner Barnes haha it's a strange old world isn't it! If you'd like to speak in person just let me know. Not that differcilt to find someone 😉

@Gardner Barnes hahaha the thought never crossed my mind! Are you on Facebook?

If you like flab

This was a sick display of torture. Cockell was ruined after this fight. Sad, more than anything. I can't watch this twice

He was actually ranked #2. This is the only time Rocky defended against other than the ranked #1 contender. But he was a regional champion.

what was the medical condition?

@@davidfitzgerald4683 He was fat.

@@davidfitzgerald4683 he developed a glandular problem that made him put on excess weight that he couldn't shift, sad story he died aged 54 of cancer

Don Cockell was considered a safe fighter for Marciano this was after the second fight with Ezzard Charles where Marciano's nose was split open they were testing the nose It also was a warm up fight for Nino Valdez but plans were changed after Archie Moore beat Valdez and Marciano's next victim would be Archie Moore but Moore put up a good fight briefly flooring Marciano a 4 count Rocky got up barely dazed if dazed at all and went to work on Moore who is a legend Moore normally a light heavyweight could also jump up to Heavyweight which he did on occasion because that's where the money was at Marciano never really bad mouthed his opponents it's called respect

Who did he fight besides old men and Journeymen

@@Samantha_Lavery_Medici Samantha you are a child run along

jimi hendrix woops, Forgot about him. My bad. Worthy of note though, he fought him in 49 and 50 and wasn't champ until 53, and many analysts point out he was quite improved in his championship reign. But many greats had those fighters that, for whatever reason, wouldn't go down. You could pick out numerous no name fighters in the records of many greath champs who never should have stood up to one round but some how soldiered on to the end.

+Nuvendil yeah. I've always wondered why that is. It's like one night theyre getting KO'd in the third by a club fighter. The next they're going the distance with KO artists.

both of them were a joke

Marciano beat Lowry convincingly in the second bout. Not a knockout but no doubt about that win

He was no mug...quite a clever fighter

he wasn't as bad as the people thought, he defeated harry kid Mathews 3 times, and beat Roland La staza that why he got the fight

Archie Fatcackie not really he fought as a middleweight and fought Randolph Turpin who dispatched him in quicker and more spectacular fashion than Marciano could muster

It's more related to the size of the brain. Explorers and mountain men report grizzly bears getting shot by dozens of musket balls before they died. Not so much courage as stupidity.

@@northwestprof60 🤣

@@Samantha_Lavery_Medici yeah weak, that's why he lost all those fights...

aky19832001 he was only 13 stones hardly a heavy

Different rules, when the great Archie Moore split Marciano's nose down the middle under modern rules the fight would have been stopped and Moore would have won but in those days Marciano pushed his seconds away who tried to patch him up came out and pummelled Archie into a bloody mess.

+Lee B it was not archie moore you are referring to , it was ezzard charles in the return bout, the nose was split by elbow. Don cockell was given a title fight with marciano because he defeated harry mathews twice and roland lastalia in his last three fights

+johnny brize No an Uppercut caused the cut.

I agree with you, the ref should have stopped the fight much sooner, i also place blame on Cockell's handlers, they seen their boxer getting murdered and just ignored the slaughter

i agree the fight should have been stopped much sooner, cockell was getting pummeled, there was no reason that the referee and Cockell's handlers allowed the fight to continue

I think even Marciano was impressed with his opponent's durability.

Nobody was better conditioned, then or now, than Rocky.

​@ronniem3592 I'll tell you this to see how highlighted vid has over 1k in comments? Every highlighted vid of him and louis is this way In full matches of both the comments aren't close to that they are like in the low hundreds coincidence? No Well cause in those matches shows the real way they fought like my video shows every flaw and outdated techniques him and his whole era had and they aren't impressed by it I even just seen 2 days ago the video of Ray in his prime vs sam,on forums they have always said if we had more video of him in his prime,so why is it that video i seen of him in his prime isn't all chopped up of best moments like the highlights have and hace the same amount of comments? It's cause that vid in his prime just like the full or semi rounds we have in his old version shows mutiple outdated techniques and flaws and they aren't impressed by it

LOL YOU ACTUALLY THINK THIS IS GOOD BOXING ,I DONT GET INTO THE NAME CALLING THATS FOR THOSE WHO CANT DEFEND THEMSELVES, WHY ISNT HE IN THERE WITH PATTERSON,LISTON, CLEVELAND WILLIAMS ALL YOUNG FIGHTERS IN THE TOP 10. HE IS FIGHTING A HORRIBLE BRITISH FIGHTER, THATS MARCIANO FOR YOU.HE S JUST NOT GOOD. I AM GOING TO GO WATCH SOME REAL TALENT,NOT 2 SLOW DUDES WHO WERE JUST NOT GOOD FIGHTERS BUT WE WILL NEVER MARCIANO NEVER FOUGHT ANY GOOD FIGHTES IN THEIR PRIME, HOW DO YOU CALL A GUY AN ALL TIME GREAT AND HE NEVER FOUGHT ANYBOY IN THEI PRIME. ALI HAD TO BEAT FRAZIER,FORMAN,LISTON,SHAVERS,QUARRY.WILLIAMS 7 HALL OF FAME FIGHTERS.TO BE CALLED GREAT MARCIANO HAD TO FIGHT DON COCKELL AND HE IS CONSIDERED GREAT ITS A JOKE

Walcott hit a lot harder than ali

Robert clary AJ the klisco s wilder fury Parker holifiekd Tyson bowe .All fat fighters book most modern fighters are fit modern training modern nutrition Ali Jones niorton Frazier started the trend

What fight was the commentators. Watching.He's makeing most of it up

I'd like to see you pull off his bull charge. Acting like it isn't skill - who else but Rocky could avoid getting hit with his style as much as he did? He landed half easily.

@@donsimons9810 Perhaps you’ve never read my other posts on Marciano, where I refer to him as the greatest overachiever in boxing history. Or where I speak of his limitless courage and endurance and incredible conditioning. The fact remains that he MISSED THE MAJORITY OF THE PUNCHES HE THREW. Even against relatively stationary targets like Cockell and Savold, he swung and missed like a rusty gate. It’s because he was cursed with short arms and his physique basically demanded that, if we was to win, he’d have to plunge forward and make himself a target. I can’t imaging the courage needed to know you have to walk into the teeth of your opponent’s fire if you wanted to win. And yes, Marciano’s short stature and crouch made him a deceptively hard target to hit.

@@carspiv oh I should sign up for your newsletter. Carspiv's YT Rocky Posts Monthly. He wasn't clumsy, nor crude. And most boxers are what, 40% landed?

@@donsimons9810 So what you’re saying is, you haven’t seen Marcianos fights with Savold and Moore, where he misses 3/4 of his punches. I get it. You prefer to see Marciano as an infallible, perfect superman. What I am pointing out, thick head, is that despite his physical shortcomings and, yes, his clumsiness whether you want to admit it or not, he made them work for him.

@@carspiv the only clumsy thing in this discussion is you pretending you aren't a troll hating on Rocky cause you want your X 'black' boxer to be considered better. Go on and cherry pick whatever fights you think he was low% punches, like it even matters. That guy was dang near graceful considering his fighting style. Go watch the Ezzard Charles fights again - Rocky looked like he was dancing the most frightening dance you'd ever see. Grow up and admit Rocky is the champ above all your heroes, you fake lil poser

This Cockell is tough !!

Stupid referee...

That's funny I guess sarcasm is good.

@Stout Krout Nah, dont bullshit yourself.

I don't know, he beat all the world champs of his time, and a few more than once. He wasn't pretty, but he just never stopped throwing bombs for fifteen rounds; no one could withstand that type of power. Ask Archie Moore. 🤕

no he was not

Ali clearly. Rock was tailor made for Ali but it would be easy at all. Ali win 10 of 15 rounds.

Marciano kills Ali.

Frazier gave Ali a lot of pain! Marciano had death blows in both hands, so was better than Frazier.

@@jaybennett236 frazier also was way more advanced than rock left that out

@Grizzlied555 yet no one made pro fighting like these guys in 70s-90s,keep exposing you don't watch full matches

He clearly has knocked out your favorite Joe Louis Louis was an idol to Rocky too and actually cried when he knocked him out why you being a bum ass bitch acting like there's some kinda element of deep hatred for these men ? They are professional boxers they don't take it like you do they have a job eliminate the man standing across from you that's it no hard feelings about it your guy lost to Rocky that's why you are mad about it he has beaten the best heavyweight of all time with dynamite in his fists if you can't give him credit for that than you will most likely end up sad and alone for the rest of your life you can't even give credit where it's due you must hate on even yourself for making the simplest mistakes as well

@@jabbingjack3457 That isn't how thyroid illness works.

@@donsimons9810 a thyroid illness prevented don cockell from losing weight no matter how hard he trained so he had to box at heavyweight instead of middleweight
