## Bio

Rocco Francis Marchegiano fought as a professional from 1947 to 1955, a span that ended with a record no one has matched. He took the world heavyweight championship from Jersey Joe Walcott in 1952 and defended it six times — Walcott again, Roland La Starza, Ezzard Charles twice, Don Cockell, Archie Moore — stopping all of them. His style was relentless, his chin famously durable, his power formidable enough to rank him #14 on The Ring's list of the greatest punchers ever. He walked away in 1956 with an 85.71% knockout rate in title fights and a career mark of 87.8%, among the highest in heavyweight history. He died in a plane crash the day before his 46th birthday.
