Many rate trackers are also fight fans, so tlie retirement of Rocky Marciano was a topical subject down inLouisville. Almost the first thing asked the visitor from the East was: “Do you think he’ll really stay retired?” The testimony to the contrary is so voluminous and forceful, their skepticism is understandable. To repeat, my feeling Is Rocky will make it as permanent as Ttinney did. Maybe hr could come back up to a year and still do pretty good., but if he waited longer second and third raters would he able to give him the chopping-block treatment. His assets were largely physical, and for a fighter who never lost, he took a disproportionate amount of punishment Inescapably, a great deal of it was about the head. I think you ran safely bet Rocky will want no more of that at any priee.
