Marciano was a brawler/swarmer who threw massive volumes of punches. He had a very strong chin, and monumental punch power in both hands. His stamina and determination were also exceptional. His speed and footwork were pretty average but being an inside fighter this didnt really matter......
As a professional he fought forty-nine times, winning them all, forty-three inside the distance.
