Was Brockton? Marchiano being the greatest boxer of all time was from there no? Was that an Italian town?


lol No chance Marciano was the greatest boxer of all time that'd be sugar ray robinson. Marciano only really fought a spent Joe Louis and Jersey Joe and Ezzard Charles who his style was perfect for. The only reason he was undefeated was because he fought in the worst time period for the Heavyweight division ever and he stole the La Starza fight.
