Talk:Rocky Graziano

Untitled

The text of the page looked like a copyright violation, I searched back in the history and found where the bulk had been added and sure enough, it was, so I removed it. Some of the translations may also have this issue.

Compare http://www.ibhof.com/graziano.htm with this edit.

quality of article

This article is poorly written, but its biggest flaw is the large gap in Graziano's life between the start of his professional boxing career and his becoming champion. What happened in between? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.84.217.243 (talk) 21:24, 26 January 2010 (UTC)

Date of birth

Many dates have been suggested as his birthdate:

• 31 December

• 6 June

• 7 June

However, This says:

• Conflicting birth dates are reported for Rocky Graziano. The Ring Record Book and Boxing Encyclopedia (1985) lists his date of birth as January 1, 1922, while other sources use June 7, 1922. However, Graziano's tombstone in Locust Valley, New York, shows his birth date as January 1, 1919, and his widow, Norma, confirmed for Encyclopædia Britannica that January 1, 1919, is the correct date.

His grave does indeed say 1 January 1919. I’m changing the article accordingly. -- JackofOz (talk) 02:22, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

Who is "he"?

In the Early life section, the following is written: "He grew up as a street fighter and learned to look after himself before he could read or write. He spent years in reform school, jail, and Catholic protectories." Does this refer to Rocky or to his father?Lestrade (talk) 16:34, 10 September 2010 (UTC)Lestrade
