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]]

== The Super Fight Movie with RockyMarciano ==


'''''The Super Fight''''' was a fictional [[boxing match]] between [[RockyMarciano]] and [[MuhammadAli]] shot in summer of 1969 and released in 1970. Rocky lost 50 pounds for the fight[https://books.google.com/books?id=typSAgAAQBAJ&q=super+fight#v=snippet&q=super%20fight&f=false]. At the time, Ali and Marciano were the only undefeated heavyweight champions in history and fans often debated who would win had they met in their primes. Ali and Marciano were filmed sparring for 75 one-minute rounds producing several possible scenarios for a genuine fight including a draw, with the result claimed to have been determined using [[probability]] formulas entered into a [[computer]].

The film was only shown once on January 20 1970 in select cinemas around the world, grossing over 5 million dollars from over 1,500 theaters across North America and Europe. [[Special:Contributions/154.160.19.16|154.160.19.16]] ([[User talk:154.160.19.16|talk]]) 11:20, 5 November 2022 (UTC)
