I think This Book Is a must for boxing fan's because,It Is the story of ROCKY MARCIANO,The only undefeated Heavyweight champ ever, It Describes His Tough Childhood and His Fears of Having to work In a shoe factory,and His Rise to the HEAVYWEIGHT Championship also It Has Detailed Descriptions of His Fights with JOE LOUIS,Joe Walcott,Roland LaStarza,Ezzard Charles,

The first few chapters kind of read like they were written for Scholastic, but since they cover his early childhood this kind of makes sense. The writing gets a bit more mature as Rocky does and seems to paint a very honest picture of an interesting guy. I don't know how much more info has come out on him in the past 30 years, but as a read this was a lot of fun.

this is as good as it gets! rocky was not only in my opion the best champion but also the wisest specialy with who he was managed by!talk about watch my back!he had some good pals,that stayed the course which also says a lot! buy this its great.
