The text of the page looked like a copyright violation, I searched back in the history and found where the bulk had been added and sure enough, it was, so I removed it. Some of the translations may also have this issue.

[edit] Date of birth
Many dates have been suggested as his birthdate:
However, This says:
- Conflicting birth dates are reported for Rocky Graziano. The Ring Record Book and Boxing Encyclopedia (1985) lists his date of birth as January 1, 1922, while other sources use June 7, 1922. However, Graziano's tombstone in Locust Valley, New York, shows his birth date as January 1, 1919, and his widow, Norma, confirmed for Encyclopædia Britannica that January 1, 1919, is the correct date.
His grave does indeed say 1 January 1919. I’m changing the article accordingly. -- JackofOz (talk) 02:22, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
