Question
i was told rocky worked out with 100lb dumbells in standing in a swimming pool by swinging them as like throwing punches,his power also came from the ground.I think he would have beaten ali and foreman(not easey)but would have a harder time with liston and tyson,(prime to prime),is there any way to find out rockys workout routine. How many other boxers could have fought with thier nose split in half , absolutly nobody had the heart and the determination of 5ft10" rocky why he was not rated # 1 could only be because of his style ,give credit where its due. cc

Answer
Marciano was an animal in the ring no doubt.  I think his rating is because of the people he fought and at the time he fought them.  Who he would beat is speculation at best, but use the modern training methods as they are improved over the old time boxers who carried bricks when they ran.
