5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome. Buy it!, 17 Nov 2001

By	Darren D'CRUZ (London) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I have never bothered to write a review for Amazon. However, after reading some of the trash reviews by others; I felt compelled to do so. The archive footage is fantastic. However, the tape will be far more valuable to an aspiring fighter; amateur or Pro. Marciano is the ultimate role model. His training, pre-historic in it's simplicity was designed to punish and submerge the body, until all traces of flab and gentleness had been exorcised. The tape depicts Marciano as a bowl of granite who would not allow the concept of defeat to enter his mind. Buy the tape and watch him destroy Louis, Walcott, Charles and other fighters who could themselves be considered great in their own right. Inspirational footage! I watch the tape before and after my roadwork.

4.0 out of 5 stars Rocky Marciano - The Greatest, 8 Mar 2003

By	"darbsk" - See all my reviews

If you are a fan of Heavyweight boxing I don't think you can fail to be impressed with this video. Allright, it's film quality isn't too good, and it's a bit old fashioned in it's style, but that simply adds to the time warp feeling as you watch what has to be some pretty rare footage of "The Rock" at his destructive best.
Also there's some insights into the man himself from such highly respected people as Kirk Douglas and Casius Clay.
The Greatest Video about the Greatest Heavyweight there's ever been (although there's not much competition).

1.0 out of 5 stars Poor value for money, 26 Jul 2000

By A Customer

This video is very brief and the standard of reproduction is poor. In the fight sequences it is often very difficult to make out who is who. It is also lacking in any objectivity about Marciano either as man or as boxer. He appears to have been a saint who was invincible in the boxing ring whoever had been put up against him.
