Rocky Graziano’s date of birth
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.
