If you are a young Rocky Marciano fan, why are you a fan? I consider young, younger than me, I am 39......

Thanks to Espn Classic and Espn Classic Canada here in the great white north fans of all ages can get into the Rock.
Only undefeated champ in history (never be accomplished again but I thought Tyson had a chance).
The rock at 186 pds an undersized heavyweight turned back Joe Louis, Ezer Charles, Jersey Joe Walcott and Archie Moore.
Hopefully boxing fans of our generation (i'm 33) will follow our example and get into these fights.
Why am I a fan.
The Rock knocked Joe Lois out through the ropes a feat thought of unheard of, I think he was down twice in the Charles fight and rallied to win the title, and Archie Moore was a legend as well.

I'm not exactly young at 52 but I think that the Brocton Blockbuster was the greatest Heavyweight Champion in history at 49-0-0 43 ko's. He was determined, relentless, strong, and courageous. He refused to lose and nobody was in better physical condition as he trained harder than any fighter in history. He also had amazing durability and a knockout punch in both hands with his right hand punch being referred to as "Suzy Q". I bought a couple of t-shirts from Everlast Boxing and have Rocky Marciano's website as one of my favorites on my computer. I appreciate the question.
