Rocky Marciano Signed Photograph With Amazing Inscription

Heavyweight Champion Rocky Marciano in a gesture of friendship and humor has signed and inscribed this 8 X 10 original black and white photograph that pictures him shaking hands with a gentleman much bigger than he is, “You made me feel like a middleweight, Rocky Marciano,” in blue ballpoint pen. Marciano adopted his fight name early during his career when ring announcers in Providence, Rhode Island could not pronounce his birth name, Marchegiano. Marciano's K.O. victory against ‘Jersey' Joe Walcott in September 1952 made him Heavyweight World Champion; a title he successfully defended six times. When retiring from boxing in 1956 his record counted 49 wins of which 43 were by K.O. and not one loss. Marciano is considered to be one of the best Heavyweight Champions of all-time and is the only undefeated champion in any weight class in the history of gloved boxing. Comes with a certificate that unconditionally guarantees authenticity of this item.
