Rocky Marciano Biography

[Mars_ax]

There is a new biography in progress on the legendary Rocky Marciano, check out a sample here Sample - Redemption: The Life & Death of Rocky Marciano.

I look forward to reading the new Bio when it comes out.

One of the things I remember about Marciano from reading other Bios was his distrust of banks. As a result he had cash stashed everywhere, and for the most part, only he knew where it was located. I imagine his wife and family had fits trying to find the money after he died. Marciano was a great fighter, but he had quirks in his personal life.

Don't we all have quirks in our lives.

You could attribute his death to being tight with money because he took a free flight.

Oh hell yeah, we all have quirks, I bet Rocky wasn't too great about paying Income tax either. I'd like to see what I could find out about that.

Who really cares about the rock paying his taxes, yes he was as tight as two coats of paint

No doubt about Rocky being a great fighter, but most his "Bios" spend a lot of time recalling his personal side away from the ring, which I find interesting. I intended no disrespect to Marciano or claimed that he was a tax evader.

Agreed. I read a book about him and I think it was written or supported by his brother or close relative and he use to say that Rocky trained 3 months for a fight. That is awesome determination and conditioning. It probably led to his back problems too, as it sounds an intense training regime.

I believe I heard either Angelo Dundee or Lou Duva say that Marciano sometimes even trained up to 6 months for a fight. I don't doubt that a bit, Rocky had incredible stamina. It must have been hell fighting the dude, because he never quit coming after you with punch after hard punch. Archie Moore said it hurt even if Marciano hit you on the arms or shoulders.
