Rocky Marciano was heartbroken because the man he had defeated was his boyhood idol. Joe Louis. Joe Louis never forgot Rockys apology for having defeated him. In a time of antiheroes. Rocky was truly a great American hero. As the son of an Italian immigrant. his life was a model for those Americans who believe that a man. by dint of hard work. can achieve his goals. Throughout his life he remained a devoted son. husband. and father. One of the reasons he gave for his ring retirement was so that he could spend more time with his parents. wife. and children.
