The Boys of 84: Part 4 – Blown Away

Remembering a titanic cup campaign 20 years ago. Monday, 6th February 1984.

In his autobiography, World Light-Heavyweight Champion Archie Moore writes of his fight in 1955 with unbeaten World Heavyweight Champion Rocky Marciano ‘I knew that I could beat him, and early in the fight I threw the best punch I had ever thrown in my whole career. Marciano went down on his face, and you know that a man is hurt bad when he goes down on his face. But The Rock got up, and I knew that I would lose.”
