    How you mean it's not the time or place? It's commemorating his birthday, if now isn't the time to celebrate him then when is?

    So I ask again, do you pick anyone to beat him?

    How sad that a man who sacrificed so much could not live longer to enjoy the fruits of his dedication.

    R.I.P to the Rock! A true symbol of Boxing whether you like it or not.

    The Stanton book on him was great. For those interested, Stanton was recently on a podcast discussing Marciano. It is on youtube.

    I do think that the first Charles fight is a blot on Marciano's record, but it was close.
