Talk:Rocky Marciano
==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.

==Comeback==

==1946-1956, who is the greatest heavyweight fighter of all time?==
: Rocky was an amateur fighter in 1946, in 1956 he did exhibitions.
: I spoke with Hank Kaplan many times, the greatest boxing historian of them all; he said Rocky is in the top 3. But nutrition was different at that time, it's hard to compare different eras.
So I would say Louis, Ali, Marciano must share the first place!!!
