Unbeaten ― Rocky Marciano's Fight for Perfection in a Crooked World
商品資訊
商品簡介
From the bestselling author of The Prince of Providence, a revelatory biography of Rocky Marciano, the greatest heavyweight champion of all time.
Undersized for a heavyweight, with short arms and stubby legs, Rocky Marciano accomplished a feat that eluded legendary champions like Joe Louis, Jack Dempsey, Muhammad Ali, and Mike Tyson: he never lost a professional fight. When he retired in 1956, his record was a perfect 49-0.
An Italian immigrant son who feared a life in the factory, Marciano came off the canvas to win the title in a bloody and epic battle, and overcame injury and doubt to rule boxing when it was one of America’s most popular and corrupt sports. He packed a devastating punch with an innocent nickname, “Suzie Q,” and knew presidents, movie stars, and Mafia bosses. He also grew disillusioned by the way organized crime dominated the sport. He “stood out in boxing like a rose in a garbage dump,” one sportswriter said. But he also fought his own private demons.
In the hands of bestselling author Mike Stanton, Rocky’s biography is more than just a boxing story. It’s a classic American tale of immigrant dreams, exceptional talent wedded to exceptional ambitions, compromises in the service of a greater good, astounding success, disillusionment, and a quest to discover what it all meant.
Unbeaten is the story of a remarkable champion, a sport that was rotten at its core, and a country that may have expected too much from its heroes. Like Suzie Q, it will knock you off your feet.
