PeteThePrince, No I didn't see any of the 3 wars between Zale and Graziano..Only one was in Ny, the other two were in Newark, and Chicago...But I have seen in Graziano ,the most exciting fighter,I've seen,many times pre Zale..Watching young Rocky, was like being a witness to a street brawl...But the reason I believe that the 3 fights were so thrilling is this fact..Zale,was in the army for over four years,and when he first fought Rocky in 1946,was past 33years old and past his prime...I feel that the pre war Zale, at his peak,would have been too good for Graziano...In fact Al Hostak and Fred Apostoli,along with Billy Soose, were better than Graziano, in my opinion...I think Rocky said after his winning the championship was something like " Ma Your Bad Boy Did It " .Something to that effect...B.B.
