But john, it ticked all the boxes. RSN's link he provided stated that hed spared LaStarza and Marciano plus he was in The Sopranos amongst other movies. Helluva coincidence if it aint him

Well, you said he is Bronx heavyweight, Italian, never knocked down on pro, fought on major Marciano undercard.

With that info i first went to boxrec.com and then to imdb.com

JG said he sparred with Carmine Vingo, not Roland LaStarza mate.

yeah,seen that. I mean, with all them clues about being italian, a heavyweight, fought during Rockys reign, a heavy in movies, and someone turns up with ANOTHER name that could easily have been the correct answer

in fact, your answer sounds the more impressive of the two (sorry JG)
