muhammad ali vs rocky marciano

Marciano was an Italian-American, born and raised in Brockton, Massachusetts to Pierino Marchegiano and Pasqualina Picciuto. Both of his parents were immigrants from Italy: his father was from Ripa Teatina, Abruzzo, while his mother was from San Bartolomeo in Galdo, Campania. Rocky had three sisters - Alice, Concetta, and Elizabeth - and two brothers - Louis and Peter. When he was about eighteen months old, he contracted pneumonia, from which he almost died.

In his youth, he played baseball, worked out on homemade weightlifting equipment, and used a stuffed mail bag that hung from a tree in his back yard as a heavy bag. He attended Brockton High School, where he played on the American football and baseball teams. However, he was cut from the school baseball team because he had joined a church league, violating a school rule forbidding players from joining other teams. He dropped out of school after finishing tenth grade.

Marciano then worked as a chute man on delivery trucks for the Brockton Ice and Coal Company. He also worked as a ditch digger and as a shoemaker. Rocky was also a resident of Hanson, Massachusetts; the house he lived in still stands on Main Street.

In March 1943, Marciano was drafted into the army for a term of two years. Stationed in Wales, he helped ferry supplies across the English Channel to Normandy. After the war ended, he completed his service in March 1946 at Fort Lewis, Washington.[

This video shows what would happen to that coward chump clay. Nighty night cassius. BWHAHAHAHA!

[swaggeringrebel]

Actually, Marciano knocking out clay would be pretty entertaining unless you're a clay nut sucker. Then you probably wouldn't like it. BWHAHAHAHA!

[swaggeringrebel]

@TheBastardGregory The black muslims want YOU, racist.

[swaggeringrebel]

@starzulu The only thing clay would do "too fast" against Marciano would be getting knocked out. So for you deluded clay fans who think he could have beaten Marciano I say ...DREAM ON MOTHERFUCKER! Marciano is the GREATEST and his record proves it! Clay was a 5 time LOSER. BWHAHAHAHAHA!

@swaggeringrebel ..only deluded racists think that Ali could possibly lose to the awkward plooder...deluded.

[ThePastorGregory]

No way a sharpshooter like Ali gets beaten by an awkward LHW like Marciano.

[starzulu]

Ali would have been too fast for the cumbersome Marciano, just take a look at the Ali Foreman fight -and Foreman could punch like no one in those days! And look at the outcome. So for all those Marciano fans who think he could have beaten Ali I say ...DREAM ON! Ali is the GREATEST! We all love you Ali.
