    Rocky seems like a genuinely good guy, no pretense, no fronting, engaged and interested in the conversation. Something about him really projects and is likeable.

    Cole is as cool as a cucumber, a natural storyteller and entertainer.

    Which is why I don't understand why some dislike Marciano so much. All he did was train hard, give 100 percent in every fight, be humble and never bring reproach to the heavyweight crown.

    Cole died in 1965 of lung cancer and Marciano was killed in a plane crash in 1969. Natalie Cole, his daughter actually passed in 2014 or 2015, she had cancer as well I believe. She was 64 or 65 I think.
