Who is in this picture?

just a bunch of goombah's...

 

The guy on the right is Walter Cartier, for sure, h. The one next to him looks a lot like Tony DeMarco, but I wouldn't swear to it. Draw a blank on the other two, but I''ll make a guess about the one all the way on the left: Dan Bucceroni.

 

It looks like it was taken before the Marciano/Vingo bout. I believe it's Nick Barone on the left

I also believe it's Dick Wagner

Thanks for settin' me straight, h. Woulda driven me nuts.

 

I recognize Walter Cartier on the right[good looking guy], and Dick Wagner [3rd from the left], but I can't place the other 2 guys...The guy
on the left looks like a large heavyweight,while Dan Bucceroni was a
light heavyweight ...Who is the other fighter ?I'm stumped...

 

Yeah I'm with you on this too Burt - not sure it's Bucceroni on the left - the guy on the left looks HUGE - although could be the camera angle maybe? His fist looks EPIC though :yikes wouldn't want my face getting in the way of that that's for sure - interested to find out who it turns out to be :huh

 

I believe it's Nick Barone on the left

Think you nailed it Henry:good - jeez he was a big guy - might've been a good fight for Marciano coming up?

 

I did some research..Nick Barone weighed about 175-8 in his career.
In 1949 ,he fought and beat Dick Wagner [3rd from left] in MSG.
But the guy on the left looked much bigger than 175 pounds...Could be
the angle of the photo, though...

 

I think it's Barone, Wagner, Marciano, ?? and Cartier

 

hh, maybe ?? is Unknown Winston !

 

Dan Bucceroni was nearly 6'3 so it could be him

 

It's not Bucceroni, here's a picture of him.

When I received the picture, it was from a family member of Carmine Vingo and here's what he says:

Interesting - that looks exactly like Cartier. You are correct Carmine is 6' - 4" - I think they didn't want Rocky to look small so he may have been standing on something. Just a guess, but I know that the second one from the right is Carmine since I got the photo from his immediate family. The photo came from Louie Rea - Kitty Vingo's (Kitty Rea)'s nephew.
