Biggest gangsta in boxing

[chris_cov]

Are you kidding me!!!!

Rocky Marciano and the entire Marchegiano Family (his name before he changed it) was not linked to the mob in anyway,
Old Italian familys had a saying that was not bring shame to the family (which is one of the reasons rocky drove himself not lose), they never had connections to the mob because they found the mob to be an embarassment to Italians and ultimately their family. One thing nobody ever wanted to do was to bring shame to their family

Your wrong Marciano was in no way close to any Mafia/Mob

Well based on some of the writings of Everett Skeehan (Marciano's biographer), which includes some quotes from Rocky's younger brother, Sonny, Rocky was in fact "friends" with the likes of Frankie Carbo.

No, you're wrong. Marciano had mafia connections and associated with members of the mafia after his career was over. His ties however didn't factor into his ring career.

One example was Marciano visiting Mafia kingpin Vito Genovese when he was dying in prison. Marciano found the Mafia lifestyle exciting.

Marciano used to hang with Mafiosa member Frankie Fratto described as " a syndicate ********* " who was a suspect in two murders and had a lengthy criminal record.

they don't count, and Ronnie was a horrible boxer from waht I have read. What was he like 4-2 or something, that dude had no discipline lol, I think he got disqualified or something, Reggie didnt box for long either.

Roy Shaw had a pro boxing record 10-0 (6 KO's).
