3.0 out of 5 stars For me, just a trite disappointing, 30 Jun 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Rocky Marciano (Paperback)
Much of the material is from surviving friends and relatives and so of course depends on the accuracy (and honesty) of their memories. Saying that though, this is no hagiography: even if you're left with the impression that the author thinks Marciano would have whipped anybody before or since. I would have liked some deeper insights into the psyche of the man himself: Skehan's book makes him seem somehow shallow and a bit one-dimensional, whereas Rocky was a very intelligent man, articulate, self-educated, well-read, with a burning natural curiosity. In spite of this, the book is at its best when it shows his dedication to a craft which he entered late, was not "built for", and the aesthetics of which he never mastered, yet he retired 49-0 with 43 ko's, and is rightly ranked amongst the best ever. And all due to the fact that he had the mother of all work ethics. This makes him especially inspirational to me. Particularly fascinating is his dressing room warm-up routine and the insight into how he developed that trademark stamina.

4.0 out of 5 stars Compelling reading into the mind of a born fighter., 24 Jun 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Rocky Marciano (Paperback)
Compelling reading into the mind of a born fighter, right from the cradle. This book covers his early days, his family life, his aspirations. Though he wanted to be in Baseball star. What gripped me were his childhood antics both with the opposite sex and anyone who dare cross his path. Training and his mental outlook towards big fights truly astounds you not to metion one fight that went the full distance despite the fact that Rocky had dislocated his knucle in the second round, and went on to win! A must for all boxing fans.
