Artist: Ferdie Pacheco (American, b. 1927) Title: Marciano Victorious Audio: Date: 1983 Dimensions: 48″ x 30″ Location in Library: Lower level Media: Oil on canvas Owner: The Brooklyn College Library Collection. Gift of Noreen Andreoli. © Ferdie Pacheco Description: As the only Heavyweight Champion to retire undefeated (with 43 knockouts), perhaps it is not a single bout but his entire career that is the subject of this piece. The fact that the fighter appears unblemished at the fight’s conclusion is a beautiful and apt translation of the dominance Rocky Marciano exhibited in the ring throughout his 49 career fights.
