Rocky Marciano was lucky in his first fight against Roland La Starza, he lost points for hitting him by accident in the balls, if it was not for that lost round, this could have been majority decision, better than unanimous decision. Rocky was lucky to escape with the win as the following, rare sites explain:

Speaking of Rocky, this should be known:
 
Rocky's contract expired on 9.20.1955. Next day Marciano beat Archie Moore, improving hi record to 49-0 but Norris wanted Marciano to fight the winner of Big Bob Baker & Nino Valdez match. The fight was scheduled for February 3 1956: encyclopediasupreme.org/WhyBaker 
 	
Baker never challenged Marciano, instead he fought Hurricane Jackson which he lost; his career was never the same encyclopediasupreme.org/pdf/Baker2356.pdf 
	
In heavyweights, Marciano has a KO of 87.76%, Foreman 84%, upon his first retirement he had 86%!
