Description

Rocky Marciano's remarkable story is one of unyielding dedication and the darker side of ambition. The only heavyweight champion to retire undefeated, Marciano's 49-0 record is a testament to his unrelenting pursuit of greatness. From his humble beginnings in poverty-stricken America to his rise as a boxing icon, Marciano's life was marked by both triumph and tragedy. Behind the glamour of 1950s boxing, a world of corruption and crime lurked. Marciano, who nicknamed his devastating punch the 'Suzie Q', was caught in the middle of this underworld. Pulitzer Prize-winner Mike Stanton sheds light on the complex and often fraught world of boxing during this era, revealing the darker side of Marciano's pursuit of greatness. This biography offers a gripping and thought-provoking look at one of the greatest heavyweights of all time, a man whose legacy is both fascinating and flawed.
