On September 23rd 1952 Rocky Marciano climbed into the ring to challenge the heavyweight boxing champion, Jersey Joe Walcott. What followed was what many have called the greatest heavyweight championship fight of all time.

To understand where boxing is today, we must understand from where it came. John L. Sullivan was the first gloved heavyweight champion, the fighter that made gloved boxing popular. He helped legitimize Queensberry rules boxing, which is the foundation of boxing as we know it today.

Was the Prime Tyson a falsified creation , carefully marketed and matched to get to the top , or was he really the fierce and multi talented fighter we still salivate over when we watch the old clips.

How much of the hype affected the opponent? How many opponents were beaten before they stepped into the ring ?

Was it Busters self belief or was it Tysons decline ?
