Gettin to watch Marciano vs Walcott....Marciano started my interest in boxing.Going from "Marciano is the best that ever lived". To gradually learning about the brown bomber and Joe walcott and then thirsting for real knowledge.Eventually becoming a proper fan and gaining a real knowledge of the "sport".Not to mention the political ties boxing has in its history.which funnily is another of my great interests, politics.

But like i say the Brockton Blockbuster started it for me.Almost idolised Marciano at one point...and when someone gave me the full fight on DVD with commentary. I got to watch the man himself in action.
