    The Paul Newman movie about him was good too I thought.

    I watched it only once years ago as a kid before I was even into boxing (in fact I thought Graziano and Marciano were one and the same having only vaguely heard that they were heavyweight champion at that point).

    I don't know how accurate it was (Newman playing an Italian boxer is a stretch to begin with) but I remember watching it all and thinking it was a good movie .

    "Somebody Up There Likes Me" is fantastic and one of my favorite movies. It's based off the autobiography Graziano wrote that goes into much, much more detail, but the movie stays true to the info provided.

    Paul Newman does a great job of playing Rocky imo
