Editorial Reviews

During his career, Marciano held the heavyweight boxing title for four years in the 1950s. His 49-0 career victories, of which 43 were KO’s, are records that stand to this day! A sportswriter once commented that if all the heavyweight champions of all time were locked together in a room, Marciano would be the one to walk out. This special documentary chronicles Rocky’s amazing life as the only undefeated boxing champion in history, in any weight division, as seen through the eyes of those who knew him best.

This review is from: Rocky Marciano - A Life Story (DVD)

I watched this fascinating biography/documentary on the life of Undefeated Heavy Weight Champion Boxer 'Rocky Marciano' and found that it was more than just a superficial look at the unlikely champion boxer. The facts and more importantly the background of the greatest heavy weight to ever set foot in the ring are covered with respect and love in this wonderful biography! It was Rocky's determination that set him part from all other boxers and that is why he remains the only undefeated champion of the ring!

Being rather small in size with a freakishly short reach, this incredible hero defied all odds and basically knocked anyone's block off who stepped into the ring with him! Retiring with a record of 49 - 0 with 43 knock outs, this bulldog with a wicked right cross would overcome all who opposed him.

Adding weight to this "bio", Marciano's surviving siblings and close friends are present to give details and tell wonderful stories about the late great boxers life and accomplishments (in and out of the ring). It's sad that such a wonderful person had to meet such a tragic end. I'm not taking anything away from all the great boxers in history, but Rocky's record tells the story plain and simple.

This review is from: Rocky Marciano - A Life Story (DVD)

Rocky was one of my idols when I was kid, but I really didn't know much about him. This video does a good job of presenting the man behind the fists, introducing us to his family, friends, manager, and trainer. It's also a nice portrait of Brockton, Mass., a mill town in the forties and fifties. Clips of many of Rocky's fights supply the excitement.

This review is from: Rocky Marciano - A Life Story (DVD)

If you are a Rocky Marciano fan , you'll enjoy this dvd. It gives a detailed account of his life from begining to end, and interviews friends and his brothers and sisters , who give insight to Rocky personaly. Rare photos and training clips make this dvd very interesting also. Direct and centered on Rocky it's very entertaining.
