Competed from 1947 to 1955 and held the World Heavy Weight
Title from 1952 to 1956, the only Heavy Weight Champion to retire
undefeated. Known for his punching
power and stamina, Rocky could take an
onslaught of hits, but still be relentless in
his comebacks
attacking his opponents viciously from
start to finish. Once asked if he could
have knocked out the great
Muhammed Ali in his prime, Rocky answered,
“I would be conceited if I said I could, but I’d be a liar if said I couldn’t.”
