...during Marciano's reign...is now a highly respected character heavy in movies.

It'll surprise me if anyone gets this. He used to spar with Carmine Vingo.

Nope, jm, but I think you're gonna be surprised when you realize you've seen him in countless high profile movies.

I'm enjoying this. It seems the ol' school historians are stumped.

Maybe Bert can step up.
