Originally published in 1954, this was the boxing book millions of fans had been waiting for. The climb of Marciano from an unskilled laborer to heavyweight champion of the world. A dramatic success story that could happen only in the field of sport and only in the United States. In this book you’ll learn how Marciano fought his way to the top in the space of a few short years. You’ll follow him from his humble start in Brockton, Massachusetts, step-by-step as he defeats one opponent after another in his burning desire to win the title.Here, too, are the fighters, managers and other boxing figures who have play important roles in The Rocky Marciano Story. You’ll meet Little Charlie Goldman, the veteran trainer who took a clumsy, untutored heavyweight and molded him into a champion; Al Weill, the clever manager who guided Rocky to the title; the cagey Jersey Joe Wolcott who nearly beat Marciano in their memorable 1952 title fight; Joe Louis, Roland La Starza, Harry (Kid) Matthews and a host of others.You’ll learn how Marciano developed his tremendous punch, the most dangerous in the ring today; how he compares with other champions; how he prepares for a fight; whom he considers the leading threats to his crown. You’ll meet Rocky as he was growing up on the streets and athletic fields of Brockton and you’ll chuckle over the lime he had to be 'protected' by his little sister. Every real sports fan will want to add this warm, human book to his library.
