I'm still a little unclear as to why we should care about whatever cans he was fighting early in his career. Seems like another lame attempt to discredit a great fighter.Calibaloc likes this.

I read one time that he was mobb affiliated and that alot of his wins were fabricated or rigged but don't quote me on this.But with a little research you'll find news papers talking bout how they thought he lost against a guy name Lowry or something look it up!!

Holmes is on record for appologizing to Marciano's family for the 'jockstrap' comment, but i believe it was more aimed at his own bitterness for failing to equal Marciano's record..

IMO Marciano never fought his brother in pro fights, yet i do believe like the book says that he fought him in exhibitions and amateur fights.. But Holmes did call into question Rockys 49-0 pro record

Originally posted by sonnyboyx2 View Posti must disagree - Holmes definately insinuated that Rockys record was `padded`and refered to these fights with his brother.. The press & the commision jumped on Holmes who then made an official opology by saying, "Maybe i gotta Big mouth".... Lets not forget that Marciano himself used the name `Rocky Mac`in his early pro fights and switched back and forth from pro to amateur...

And true, he did say, 'Maybe i've gotta big mouth,' to the press, but i think you'll find the personal apology given to Marciano's daughter, was a lot more sincere.
With regard to going back and forth, a fragile argument could me made for 48-0, because he KO'd Lee Epperson on his pro debut, but then went back to the amateurs for an unsuccessful attempt at the Golden Gloves..
