15 of the Best Weapons in Heavyweight History

Check out this list compiled by Round By Round Boxing‘s Andrew Kang of 15 of the best weapons in Heavyweight history.

Rocky Marciano’s Championship Heart

All the great champions had this important intangible, which separated them from the rest of the pack. Their sheer will to win and overcome adversity was an essential ingredient to their greatness.

The great ones all exhibited tremendous heart, but there was only one heavyweight that finished his career undefeated. The “Brockton Blockbuster” may have been the toughest of them all.

If Rocky Marciano’s famed right cross, the “Suzy Q,” did not knockout his opponent (43 of his 49 wins came via KO), his never-say-die attitude and full belief in his ability to score the win did.

And, as he showed against Jersey Joe Walcott and Archie Moore, Marciano could come off the floor or overcome a severely cut nose – like he did against Ezzard Charles – to do it.

No one had more heart and will than Rocky.
