Never.....Rocky was probably the finest conditioned heavyweight ever, or close to it. determination, and will to win , or better yet never to lose, was far more potent than any PED.
Why would Marciano eating bull nuts cross your mind this boxing forum is crazy
Yes, he was on constant PED---Practice, Exercise and Discipline ( including the right Diet ).
You and your wild imagination!
do steroids exist by that time?
No....
I'm not accusing him of taking PED's but athletes have always used some form of PED's, even Greek athletes ate sheep testicles which are loaded with testosterone.
There were no tests for any PED's when Marciano fought. PED's got allot better in the 30's thanks to Hitlers Olympic team.
Now i ask this because of Rocky Marciano vs Ezzard Charles 1.
Ezzard Charles was a wizzard in the ring, he fainted, made fake openings to counter, he had power [killed a man in the ring], etc.
Ezzard Charles was giving Marciano a boxing lesson the first 10 rounds. Hitting a boxer slows him down, but look at round 15. I've never seen film of a boxer finish a rought 15 round fight like that. Joe Frazier, like Rocky Marciano, was a great swarmer, but he NEVER finished a tough 15 round fight like that especially if he had been hit so much.
It seems fishy but of course it's not conclusive. What do you think?
Do you think maybe Charles was just very old and his power had left, or do you think Rocky was fishy?
