Dear Patreon Boys,

Rocky Marciano is easily history's most divisive undisputed heavyweight champion. Even as you watch him swarm his way through tricky counter punchers and solid ring generals, it is hard to believe that he was never made to pay for all his bad habits and missed swings.

From his connections to the mob, to the ages of his opponents, everything about Marciano is ripe for scrutiny, but he still achieved something almost unthinkable: he became the world heavyweight champion just four years into a professional career which only began in his late twenties.

In Rocky Marciano: Will versus Skill we examine Marciano's whirlwind career, infamous training camps, and impact on the sport of boxing.

Apologies for the lateness and thank you once again for your support!

Really enjoyed this episode on Marciano. I also really enjoy getting bits and pieces on Ezzard Charles, Joe Walcott and Archie Moore. I wouldn't mind hearing a full episode on any of those guys. Also briefly mentioned was Charley Burley and The Black Murderers Row another subject I'd really like to hear or read more on. Really great work as usual, look forward to the next one and other works in between.

Very good listen, Jack, thank you very much! I would also love separate episodes about Moore and Walcott, if there is anything left to tell, obviously, since information on them is quite limited.
