Rocky Marciano was a world champion boxer who retired with an unblemished record of 49-0 (43 KO's). His critics argue that he was overrated and never fought anyone in their prime, but every fighter holds himself and his record up against Marciano's. His physique and strength, as well as his boxing style, made him one of the most devastating punchers of his day and of all time. He beat "Jersey" Joe Walcott twice, "Ezzard Charles twice", Joe Louis, and Archie Moore. He also stopped Rex Layne and Harry Matthews. His only "near-blemish" came against Roland LaStarza, who Marciano knocked out in the 11th round.
