			Marcel Cerdan, known as the "Casablanca Clouter," turned professional at the age of 18 in 1934 and won his first 46 fights. His first defeat was a fifth-round disqualification loss against Englishman [[Harry Craster]] on January 9, 1939 in London. Four bouts and six weeks later, Cerdan beat his first world-ranked opponent, [[Saverio Turiello]], in a welterweight contest in Paris. Then he beat Turiello again, this time for the European Welterweight Title on June 3, 1939.

	~~Marcel~~ Cerdan ~~Is considered as one of Europe~~'~~s great champions though~~ his career ~~was interrupted by World War II and ultimately cut short when he was killed~~ in ~~a plane crash en route to America for a world title rematch~~.		With the outbreak of WWII and the early fall of France, Cerdan didn't resume his career until 1941 in North Africa. But by the end of the year, he was back fighting on the mainland, which was occupied by Germany. A disqualification loss to [[Victor Buttin]], whom he later knocked out, is the only blemish in his 28 fights from 1941 to 1944. He continued his winning ways through the next two years, including a ten-round decision win over [[Holman Williams]] in Paris and a ten-round decision win over [[Georgie Abrams]] in his New York debut.
	~~During his eventful career~~ the ~~Algerian-born Frenchman lost just four~~ of ~~his one hundred and ten contests~~, ~~(two were by foul) and won European titles at 147 and 160 lbs before going~~ on ~~to capture a World title at 160 lbs. Nicknamed~~ the ~~�Casablanca Clouter�~~, ~~Marcel and~~ was ~~one of three sons � all of~~ whom ~~had a boxing pedigree~~. He ~~turned professional in 1934 aged eighteen and with~~ the ~~exception of~~ two ~~losses by disqualification; he never saw an opponent's hand raised in victory until his 105th bout when~~, ~~on May 23rd 1948, Cerdan lost his European Middleweight title~~ in ~~Brussels to~~ a ~~narrow 15~~-round decision ~~against Cyrille Delannoit. Two months later the two fighters were to meet again; this time Cerdan avenged~~ his ~~opponent and regained the title, again after 15 enduring rounds~~.

			Cerdan won the vacant European Middleweight Title with a first-round knockout of [[Leon Fouquet]] on February 2, 1947. He lost the title to [[Cyrille Delannoit]] by a fifteen-round decision on May 23, 1948. The two had a rematch on July 10, 1948, and Cerdan regained the title with a fifteen-round decision victory.

	~~His fighting prowess was such that after turning professional Cerdan returned with a 46-0 record~~, ~~an unbeaten run which ended only when he was disqualified in the fifth-round against Englishman Harry Craster on January the 9th 1939 in London. Four bouts and six weeks later~~ Cerdan beat his first world ranked opponent, [[Saverio Turiello]] in a welterweight contest in Paris. He then beat Turiello once again, this time for the European Welterweight crown in June. With the outbreak of World War II and the early submission of France, Cerdan didn't resume his career until 1941 in North Africa. However, by the end of the year he was back fighting on the mainland, which was occupied by Germany and a loss by disqualification to Victor Buttin, (who he later knocked out), was the only blemish in his twenty eight fights from 1941- 44. He continued his winning ways over the next two years, including wins over world-ranked middleweights [[Holman Williams]] in Paris and an impressive 10-round decision win over [[Georgie Abrams]] on his New York debut. In 1947 he won the vacant European Middleweight ~~title and with the exception of the points loss to Delannoit, cruised toward his title shot with World~~ Champion [[Tony Zale]]~~. On September the 21st, 1948~~ in Jersey City, New Jersey~~, the~~ 33-year-old challenger dominated the "Man of Steel" and ~~scored~~ a ~~12th~~-round ~~technical knockout to take the World title~~. After two non-title wins ~~in 1949~~, he lost the crown ~~in bizarre circumstances~~ on June ~~16th~~ to ~~the legendary~~ [[Jake LaMotta]] via a ~~10th~~-round ~~technical knockout~~. Cerdan, who injured his shoulder when the two fell to the canvas during a first round		On September 21, 1948, Cerdan fought World Middleweight Champion [[Tony Zale]] in Jersey City, New Jersey. The 33-year-old challenger dominated the "Man of Steel" and won by a twelfth-round TKO. After two non-title wins, Cerdan lost the crown on June 16, 1949 to [[Jake LaMotta]] via a tenth-round TKO. Cerdan, who injured his shoulder when the two fell to the canvas during a first-round scuffle, fought one-armed until he retired in his corner after the tenth round.

			En route to America for a rematch with LaMotta later that fall, Cerdan was killed when his plane crashed in the Azores.

	~~scuffle, fought one-armed, until he finally retired in his corner after completing the 10th round. Most agree that had it not been for the dislocation,~~ Cerdan ~~would have mauled LaMotta. En route to America for the rematch later that year, Marcel, along with trainer Joe Longman~~ was ~~tragically killed when his plane crashed in he Azores~~ on ~~October 27th.~~		==Notes==
