@elnick1000 Rocky gave Charles the shot becasue he had been an ex champion. Plus, he needed a buck. I"m sure even Rocky was surpised at the great fight Charles put up. Valdez never got a chance because he was inconsistant and couldnt draw flies. The guy was a bore to watch in the ring. He puts me to sleep!

I may be mistaken but the TV Guide I have shows the date of this fight as 12/07/1955. The write up in TV Guide says a big money bout awaits the winner of this one. Baker, on a 12 bout winning streak is the better boxer. Valdes carries the heavier wallop.

Rocky Marciaon would have destroyed this guy. The guy didnt have great knockout power and couldnt have kept Rocky off of him. Marciano would have steamrolled this pugilist, though he is a good boxer and he fought in a tough era with lots of talent!

@ngwrestler You are correct. We will never know if Marciano would have beaten Valdez. the biggest fighter that Maricano fought weight wise was Cockell, the least tallented of the fighters he defended his title against.

Marciano fought much bigger men then Don Cockell. Just not in title fights.

@@mymountrushmore6235 Rick, they were not that much bigger than him, perhaps the one who was good and a lot bigger was Joe Louis, even a past his prime Louis. Louis against Marciano, probably would have beaten the best of Cockel.

@ngwrestler I guess I was a little confused. I first thought that you felt that Valdez deserved the shot. In boxing, just because A beats B, and B beats C, does not mean that A beats C. Look at Ali vs Foreman, and Foreman vs both Frazier and Norton. Styles makes fights. You are perhaps correct that Marciano would have beaten them, but that is not a sure thing.

@ngwrestler When in refering to weight, I was talking about title defenses. After beating Charles, Valdez went on a winning streak. Charles next lost to Harold Johnson, before getting two wins in a row and a title shot. valdez had some five wins in a row before the first Marciano-Charles fight. Certainly he was more deserving of the shot at that time, and was probably at his best at that time. the Rock's camp may have wanted no part of Valdez.
