What sort of info would Graziano, the boxer, have on mob types ? Don't know anything about the guy, who were his mob pals?
I can imagine guys wanting there picture taken with hin, have dinner etc. Probably guys dropping names to impress him.
Rocky Graziano's real name was Rocco Barbella. He grew up Downtown, around the Little Italy section of Manhattan. He knew everybody, or nearly everybody. He was a street kid, a hoodlum, growing up. Had he not gone into boxing, he would have certainly stayed gravitated to the hoodlum life. So he had some very close close friends who were top wise guys. He also had many enemies and guys he didn't like, or didn't like him, growing up.
So potentially, he had a lot to gab about if thats the way he wanted to go!
