Muhammad Ali and Joe Louis on the funeral of Marciano

[Stcs94]

louis did have a lot of class. he was an amazing fighter too. still i adamantly believe rocky was the best. ali was good but he even admited that he wasnt sure that he culd beat him and to have him say that about anyone just goes to show that they are the best

[TheWolfmoon21]

Marciano's kind are only born in this world once in a while.....the ancient greeks called them hero's

[tapiaassasin]

"I remember a journalist came up to them at the wake and started asking questions about Rocky,’’ said Marciano. “Ali said, ‘We’ll do this any time, we’ll talk about Rocky whenever you want, but not now. We’re here to honor not only a great, great fighter but a great man.’ I will never forget that. I have so much respect for Muhammad Ali. That was just awesome.’’

- Peter Marciano,Rocky's younger brother.

@paxsedan wow buddy, thanks for respecting the dead, and by the way your not funny, Marciano will always be 3 times the person you will ever be you miserable lowlife

[TheJuale]

@paxsedan I would kick you ass for what you said!! Obviously, you have more mental issues that your role model...

[POLChelseaFC]

@paxsedan Glad to know some people like you don't respect the dead or the history of boxing.

@p:Wrong:Louis was broke because his money went to pay IRS debt that he didn't realize he had until the IRS had charged him taxes, interest & penalties that were greater than his earnings, ON MONEY HE GAVE AWAY 100% OF TO CHARITY, while fighting exhibition bouts during his stay in the Army. He rightfully assumed it wasn't taxable. Sure, he lived a "high life", BUT HE COULD AFFORD IT if it weren't for the US Army & the IRS conspiring to ruin him. Ain't our governrnent grand?

[POLChelseaFC]

@lazur1 Yeah sure is, IRS are still bad though just not as bad as they can be I doubt that ever happened to a white man back in those years.

[LarS1963]

@paxsedan ...... Perhaps you should check your facts?

Marciano died in a planecrash, a privately leased Cesna 172, on his way to Des Moines, Iowa, on the eve of his 46th birthday.

How the hell can people cook up this insane theories and stories whan all the information needed is right there, within a few mouse-clicks.

[miguelangdl]

It's a joke, nothing but respect for the Rock one of my favorite, but he did haved the name of a gangster.

[Sammysification]

@miguelangdl Because every italian name has to be associated with organized crime?

[PrimeTimeJokesta]

@miguelangdl hahaha, that's messed up. Seriously though Rocky Marciano was awesome and he NEVER lost!

[bertelliish]

Marciano was a great champa and a very humble man period

[truebeliever786]

Gone but never forgotten...

[TA152H01]

Joe Louis being an elegant, classy, perfect fighter came easy to him. It's what he was outside the ring too. He made it seem so easy.

[BOXINGFANFAN]

LOUIS ALWAYS HAD GREAT LINES...HE SAID THAT ROCKY DOESNT FIGHT BY THE BOOK BUT I GOT HIT BY LIBRARY TONIGHT...LOVE LIVE THE ROCK

[jeryd2003]

its funny how a boxer will get his brains knocked in by another boxer louis to marciono and schmeling to louis and they have great and fond feeling towards them/? hmm

[shotgunshawzy]

@jeryd2003 Camraderie as warriors.

[N1k1mon]

@jeryd2003 Its called respect.

[bphatboyjohn123]

@jeryd2003 hmmm? what, lol. . yea thats how u play the game, you wanna put fear in your opponent you wanna scare them, you wanna build your confidence up by talking and then training harder, but when its over, you been through hell together, they know nobody else in the world can go through what they went through w eachother, its called respect, inside they still feel that they are the better fighter, but their old and can't fight anymore, even before louis faught schmeling, he said he was one

[bphatboyjohn123]

@jeryd2003 of the nicest guys ive ever meet, that schmeling treated him w greater respect and nicer than some white americans back home, and louis was loved by alot of the white media back then. he was a peoples champion. . thats just the way it is. .

[MrMike3865]

Joe Louis had a LOT of class.

[POLChelseaFC]

@MrMike3865 Nice to see respect between two guys who once fought each other.

[alanmeires]

@MrMike3865 i think most fighters have alot of class and have a certian quality about them thats what makes them who they are .most of us cant do what they do ..

[OropherThranduil]

At the funeral service of the popular former champion, Louis said, "Something's gone out of my life. I'm not alone; something's gone out of everyone's life." He bent over and kissed the casket.

[ThePrancingStallion]

@OropherThranduil but did you know after that Marcianos body was decapitated because of that

[OropherThranduil]

@ThePrancingStallion

oh wow, a racsism joke, jeez.

you know, i'm german, you make bad jokes about blacks for political uncorectness, we know some good ol' jew jokes like:

How many Jews does it take to fill a Basket?

10 Dustpans.

now i'm cool like you, right???

[ThePrancingStallion]

@OropherThranduil wow your fucking retarded... Its a true story you dumb ass

[OropherThranduil]

@ThePrancingStallion

they burned the coffin + marciano because he kissed it?

give me any proof for it.

because wikipedia mentions where he's buried.

[ThePrancingStallion]

@OropherThranduil No they decapitated Marciano after Louis kissed it, Because of the racial era back then. My proof is in this video... /watch?v=OO-ryUmTnyE listen in around 1:02 for Nicky Sylvester.

[OropherThranduil]

@ThePrancingStallion

then sorry, but come on, it sounds fucking rascist, which it is, but so unbelivable you have to agree on.

i mean jesus.

[ThePrancingStallion]

@OropherThranduil Yeah i know, i can understand why you thought it was a joke, i mean its a little extreme! :/ I mean it must be such a disrespect to louis' and marciano's body!

[MarVarCas]

@ThePrancingStallion the body wasn't decapitated because of that, Marciano was decapitated in the crash and that's why it was a closed casket.
