i was leafing through Boxing news at the local WHSmith & read that there was a biography or autobiography coming out and that a movie was going to be made of Graciano's life!...
If the movie is made I hope Werner Herzog directs it
very good boxer was Rocchi. some nice performances and wins in his career

"There are smart Poles and dumb Germans, but you are a dumb Pole. With you I cannot discuss" (to Michalzevski before the refight).
"You are still a dumb Pole, but you have boxed well today" (after the fight)
"I consider the fight as what it is seen in public: as the fight West against East. After all, this is what it is all about: punch the West German in the kisser, punch the East German in the kisser" (before the first Maske fight)

i remember his rematch with Maske. GR deserved to win the first one but of course Henry got the nod. There was a delay at the start of round 1, due to cameras being too close to the ring. GR ran up to the camera and tried to boot it out of the way. of course he got thoroughly outboxed second time around
