    Man I miss the rock. Any of you remember the old Pabst commercial with Sugar Ray and Graziano in it? Rocky, "boy if I got you in the ring Ray", Robby, "yeh, thats what you said in '52."

    Rocky was a frequent guest of Johnny Carson on the Tonight Show back in the sixties and he was always good for a few laughs. He wasn't the most articulate guy around, but he had a hell of a sense of humor and reminded me a little of baseball's Yogi Berra with his one liners and observations.

    Rocky was a smart guy...He had that rough facade but he did some clever marketing of himself post boxing...something that George Foreman later imitated in a better marketing environment
