    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

    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 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...

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