Rocky marciano, most underrated boxer of all time.

As a boxer yes, his skills are somewhat over looked. But he rarely showed his true skills and just brawled for the most part.

He was also likely 'helped by his connections to La Cosa Nostra. Which doesn't help matters.

I don't think there's many in the heavyweight division that could match his heart, chin, strength and condition. The power he had in both fits was scary and to go undefeated while fighting in the style he did is even more remarkable. He is ranked high enough in some boxing lists although I just don't think he's remembered as fondly as he should. Maybe it's the era with the mob connections as u say. Boxing was a mess back then. Although Rocky did clean up the division before he left leaving no1 left to fight and didn't duck anyone as some people like to pretend he did today.

Reading a great book about him called Unbeaten, he actually hated Mafia involvement in boxing.

I don't know which is worse or better, mob controlled boxing or what we have today with the sanctioning bodies both are as bad as each other. See Boxing news has refused to acknowledge any of the alphabet belts, hope more do the same.
Must get a copy of that book.
