==Marciano or Marcune fight?==
January 2 1956, New York, was Marcune Marciano replacement because name sounds so similar?
That was to be Rocky's 50th fight 1/2=50! Strange, spooky!@
==New York fight==
I am not including the possibility of Feb 3 1956 fight in New York, St. Nichols arena or Madison Squre Garden but if Rocky agreed, it might have happened. Sounds rational.

<p>Here's more evidence on the book reference in regards to Ingemar fight, now don't ask me for page number...:
Lou Duva has went on record stating that as the reason. 
Russell Sullivan, author of "Rock of His Times" cites Lou Duva as his 
source. That's as straight forward as you can get; a recent book 
quoting a person who is still alive and he did not dispute it! All the answers to January and Ingemar is 100 % accurate and proper! [[User:Freddy|Freddy]]

== 'BIG' BOB BAKER (45-5) VS ROCKY MARCIANO (49-0) ON 2.3.56, AT MADISON SQUARE GARDEN, NEW YORK!!! ==   
  
 

Martial Artist Marciano never faced a true heavyweight in the ring as a champion. Martial Artist Baker was true heavyweight for any era (6'2, 222lbs-188cm,100kg). 'Big Bob, The Grinder, Belt Em Bob' Baker won 13 straight fights (baker's dozen) n was Marciano's only logical challenger left. This exciting bout should have happened on February 3 1956, live on national coast to coast radio n tv. Only heavyweights fought on this night just like on 9.21.55. It would have been nice, good bye fight for RM to his fans. It wouldnt be easy for RM. Bulky, 'Big' Bob Baker had very good results against shorter fighters n had very fast hands, however Marciano would have defeated Baker in round ten. BB would not come out for eleventh round. RM would have had a golden 50-0 record! It's a real shame this bout didnt happen. It was offered to RM on a silver platter by IBC! Both fighters were in excellent condition. Rocky would have made history!!! For more info read: mywikibiz.com/2356
