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==

<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]]

==1946-1956, who is the greatest heavyweight 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!!!
