Some people claim he was forty-one. Like Archie Moore, and this writer, he never had a birth certificate. We couldn't prove we were born.

  • Great Heavyweights
    Great Heavyweights And the Punch Felt 'Round the World by Henry Brown, Published: 2014 J J J J J I I I I I When I first became the Two-Fisted Blogger, I didn‘t know much about all the public domain images available on the web (or even much about blogging, for that matter). When Blogspot prompted me to upload a banner, I went to my own digital scrapbook and chose a picture taken at the conclusion of Walcott/Marciano I. The photo captures what is arguably the most famous and dramatic one-punch knockout in history. For 12 rounds and change (championship fights were 15 rounds in those days), spry, poised and cagey champion Jersey Joe Walcott outboxed the challenger Rocky Marciano. Undoubtedly, many in the Press were already writing Marciano off as a „white hope.“ Sure, most of the victories comprising his perfect record were one-round K.O.s, but it was nothing new to see a brawling slugger rise to public awareness by blowing out a carefully selected succession of palookas, only to get his commupance when matched against a seasoned, skilled professional. In fact, every generation sees something similar happen, in any given weight division. Jersey Joe Walcott‘s road to the heavyweight title was a rough, rocky one, loaded with adversity and disappointments. In 1947 he challenged Joe Louis for the heavyweight crown. Probably the greatest heavyweight of all time (more about that later), Louis was well past his prime by then, partially dehydrated for the fight, and in the dangerous position of having underestimated Jersey Joe.
