Rocky Marciano, born Rocco Francis Marchegiano in 1923 to Italian immigrants in Brockton, Massachusetts, became the only heavyweight champion in professional boxing history to retire undefeated with a perfect record of 49 wins and 0 losses. Despite critics mocking his footwork and physical attributes, he won his first world title on September 23, 1952, by defeating Jersey Joe Walcott after being knocked down in the first round, and successfully defended his title six times before retiring on April 27, 1956, at age 32, citing his desire to spend more time with his family and avoid being remembered as a champion who had been beaten.

The Last Undefeated Heavyweight Champion in History #shorts #boxing #rockymarciano #historyAñadido:
He walked to the microphone and shocked the entire world. Not because he'd been beaten, but because he never had been.
Born into poverty in a Massachusetts factory town, Roco Marchiano was the son of Italian immigrants who had nothing.
He only picked up boxing in the army to avoid washing dishes. Nobody believed in him. Critics mocked his footwork. They said he was too small, too slow, too rough. He knocked out 43 opponents and proved every single one of them wrong.
On September 23rd, 1952, knocked down in round one, he rose from the canvas and destroyed the heavyweight champion of the world. Six title defenses followed.
Six men, six devastations, nobody could stop him. Then on April 27th, 1956, at just 32 years old, Rocky Marciano retired undefeated. 49 wins, 49 fights.
I don't want to be remembered as a champion who has been beaten. No heavyweight champion in history has ever matched that record. Not one, not ever.
