@@augustinecerronejr7968This is how my mother and aunt spoke. My childhood friends had a hard time understanding them😂. I wouldn’t change it for the world.
Mamma !! Che Bella mamma !! Those strong Italian mammas make their sons strong she was a woman of faith -she deplored violence of any kind even in sports! She didn’t get specific but she went to church before every one of Rocky’s fights and lit 13candles saying prayers to our blessed mother and our Lord Jesus Christ and how ironic he won the Championship in the 13th round !! Listen people these Italian Lammas of faith have a special power to be heard in heaven trust me I know ! There are many miracles attributed to Padre Pio of Pietrelcina ! Mamma was Napoletana from Naples and his father was from Abruzzo ! God bless our Italian mammas they are so blessed ! People of faith !! To the bone
My hero and rocky had the greatest will to win in the history of boxing and what a gentleman he was. A destroyer in the ring and class and dignity outside the ring
A Beautiful soul, touching that she prayed for Rocky and his opponent that neither would be hurt. A good woman . God Bless her and Rocky in heaven. You were the best Rocky a true champion in and out of the ring.
It's wonderful hearing her voice. She has a motherly warmth to her and you can tell she misses her son dearly even though she is very proud of his accomplishments. I'm sure she would have given anything just to have her son enjoy one of her Sunday meals one more time.
Rocky is really one of the kings of boxing. He never lost a fight. I would have loved to have seen Rocky fight Tyson each in their prime and Rocky vs Ali. But, we can't forget the other great warriors in the history of boxing like Jack Johnson, Joe Louis, Vitali Klitschko, Lenox Lewis and Evander Holyfield.
His youngest brother Louis was the one who used the fake names when Boxing, so his Mother wouldn't find out. If Rocky did it in the beginning of his career, that would be news to me...
Italian people are very family oriented and connected to their roots. Now days other fighter family member go and later join in clubs. Fighter sitting later after win to enjoy with hoes, they don’t have that family tradition
Rocky's father worked in a shoe factory to raise money for the family. Rocky says he got his physical strength from his mom, and his mental strength from his father.
According to Rocky, his greatest achievement was the day he walked into the shoe factory and told his father he didn't want him working anymore, and that he was officially retired,and that was that. Rockys Father had a very hard job, and it used to make Rocky sick to see him working so hard. Heard Rocky say that was his greatest pleasure in life, retiring his Father.
@IGOLDBERGI Thats true. What I respect and admire most about Marciano is that he was also a great wrestlers. MOst boxing fans and boxers dont appreciate wrestling and often bad mouth MMA and the UFC but legends like Marciano and Dempsey knew the value of grappling, wrestling, judo , etc.
The only in the Planet can beat Marciano was his mamma.....che tenerezza come la mia mamma!!!! AN italian statement.....chi ha la mamma mai non pianga!!!!!
Think you got the two Rockys mixed up, you meant Mama Marciano. Now Mama Graziano really had a long Rocky road with her son, he almost drove her to the nut house. Graziano was all the way street, had buddies he grew up with that died in the electric chair, only really trained for his rematch with Zale, and that's about it. He was knocking everyone out with the hardest right hand in Middleweight Boxing History. The only comparison between the two Rockys is their first names, and the big right hands...
Just like the Italian Pinocchio's father, I think she and her husband made him from not from wood, but from a stone. And when they finished they called him Rocky.
I lost mine, along with sister, mi brother in law he take me to the house on Dover Street , Marciano house Brockton, mass.across the street from James Edgar play ground city park.some body else bought the house on Dover ten 15 years a go.his nephew was abum rap. He was so talented went to hell
Brockton, Marciano home town.mi MoMA mi sistah' Lynne marcian MoMA papa Pietro and all freinds nieghbors families around the world, god keep us all. And unite us in eternaty.god bless.
@@vincentfisher1603 Rocky would have laughed to my joke.That's funnier than stupids jerry lewis grimaces.This joke was told by french humorist "Coluche" (1944 -1986).He was half italian himself .This woman died an old age and there is no disrespect because she survived rocky.I could have said black or arabian mama or ,why not , a Texan baby .
@IGOLDBERGI Yes absolutely although Jack Dempsey was a better wrestler than Marciano. Dempsey (61-6) was one of the first true MMA fighters. He even wrote a book on complete combat fighting that utilized boxing, wrestling and grappling and that was in 1927. In my opinion dempsey was a better boxer than marciano but marciano is still an all time great.
@bantermelon For me it's just an observation and not escapism..I can careless what people are mixed with or claim to be...still All Black to me. Black families are loaded with Grandmothers/Great grandmothers who look like her....My own family reunion was filled w/women who look like this....Speaking a different language or having a strong accent don't mean you're not black or have African blood. No offense should be taken, but if so..oh well
@IGOLDBERGI No offense but that's because you obviously don't know the much about the sport. Someone who knows the sport knows that sugar ray robinson, henry armstrong, muhammad ali, Jack Dempsey etc where much more skilled boxers. There's a reason why Ring Magazine named Marciano the 14th best boxer of all time. There are other boxers who faced tougher competition.
NOT REALLY ACHIE MOORE HOLDS ONE OF THE GREATEST KNOCK OUT RECORDS OF ALL TIMES AND NOT TOO MANY FIGHTER KNOCKED OUT AN OPONANT WHO WAS YOUNGER AND PUT THE GUY INA COMA ! WITH ONE PUNCH !
TRUE HE WAS A SLUGGER NOT A FANCY DAN FIGHTERS YOU WERE REFERRING TO AND I DO KNOW ABOUT THE SPORT OBVIOUSLY MORE THEN YOU MY FATHER WAS ONE BEFORE THE WAR HE STARTED OUT BEING TONY ZALES SPIRING PARTNER BEFORE HE MOVED ON ON HIS OWN THEN HIS CAREER CUT SHORT BY THE WAR !!!
He and holyfield would have been brutal 190 pound or 200 pound cruiser.. Rocky would had a tough time with the big heavyweight..if the 70s onwards.. Alli would killed him.. Holmes would have been too. Big..same with foreman Lewis..Rock is over rated .. he had a physical style..Big heavy weights too strong..
Please he'd knock most of their teeth out he didn't box he mauled and brutalized men you better go look at what Ali had to say about him said when they did that computer fight just the half taps Rocky was hitting him with had his ribs hurting for days overrated you go fight in the Heavyweights as a middle weight at best win the Heavyweight title and retire undefeated he had the best gas tank in boxing history could punch hard every round never out of breath you a whole clown
Whitey Bimstein: “Show me an undefeated fighter and I’ll show a guy who’s never fought anybody.” Ali would go 49-0 and retire undefeated if he fought Rocky's opponents. So would the Klitschko's, Lennox Lewis, Holyfield, Tyson, Frazier, Holmes, and on and on. Boxing is all about WHO you fought and WHEN you fought them. Rocky fought 40 year olds and middleweights.
ALL THE PEOPLE WHO DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT SHOULD LOOK UP HIS RECORD AND. THE RECORDS OF THE FIGHTERD HE FOUGHT. ROCKY HIMSELF. WAS OLD WHEN HE STARTED BOXING. HE WAS NOT BUILT TO BE A FIGHTER. BUT HE OVERCAME. THE ODDS DO YOU REMEMBER JOE LOUIS BUM OF THE MONTH CLUB ? EVERY BOXER GOES THROUGH THAT TO BIILD A NAME FOR HIMSELF. GIVE ROCKY SOME RESPECT. HE NEVER DISRESPECTED AN OPPONENT AND ALWAYS ACTED LIKE A GENTLEMAN. HE NEVER BRAGGED
Marciano fought the contenders who were around in his time, just like the champions of other eras. His crouching style, punching power and tenacity would have given ANY other champ problems. He had a shorter reach than the average bantamweight, yet fought and beat all comers. Fact is, we do not, and cannot, know how champions from different eras would have fared against each other. It is also a fact that Marciano fought, and beat, three great champions in Louis, Charles and Walcott. As far as ring records go, there's Rocky Marciano, and after him, there's everybody else.
pearcemark2 BS! Ezzard Charles, Joe Louis, Joe Walcott, Rollie La Starza among others...your right Ali would never lose....NOT! Your boy Whitey is wrong
"I told him I didn't wanna"......."the other fighter has a mother too." What a beautiful Italian Mother........just like mine! RIP Mama.
She's the perfect definition of a mom
Thatsa Howa my Grandmother & Grandfather talked LIKEA THISA. AHY WHATSA MATTA FA you? Very nice to see How much she loved Her Son Rocco. God Bless 🙏

In Brockton, everybody's raised tough. And they do fight ALOT.
Una vera mamma italiana!

@M but muhammad ali and mike tyson more popular than ronaldo and messi
Rocky got all his class and mannerisms from his wonderful mother
What a wonderful Mum ! Rocky couldn't lose😀
Mum? You mean Mamma. She was Italian, not an Englishwoman. Minchia!
She was a beautiful person and I hear she could cook like no other mamma
That would say Daniel is English.
@@Carlson-oy2irEasy! He’s obviously a Brit. He meant no harm. This coming from a Paisan.
What a wonderful woman, so much class, reminds me of my mom and grandma., may she Rest In Peace. I too thought Rocky was a very humble Champion.
A mother like Rocky's mom can only be found in the italians moms. Mamma mia!!!. Viva Italia!!!
Or most loving moms
What a wonderful Lady 💓 We should all be so Blessed to have a mother like her 💖

he used ailiases when fighting sundays in the begining he feared his mom more than anybody

She was on You Bet Your Life with Groucho Marx back in the 50's when he was still champ. It was funny as hell. I'd like to see it again some time.

That guy is a legend. He knocks out black champions. Its very hard to do. For example in 80's and 90's years. Blacks are in the top.
