    That's nice mcvey
    But this sort of feels like going on Donald Trumps twitter and seeing him commemorate MLK. :D

    He'd have been 94 now, not entirely impossible that he'd have still been alive if not for the accident. I wonder what a old marciano would have thought of the heavy weight s of the past 40 years??

    I met him as a kid at the Brockton Fair....nice man...classy outside of the ring.I heard the news of his death the next morning on radio. I was reading the newest issue of The Ring at the time. He died the day before his 46th birthday...

    I'm sure he was a quietly confident man, but there was never hint of conceit or braggadocio about him.

    Trump is more fixated on green
