Coley WallaceColey Wallace (1927-January 30, 2005) was an American heavyweight boxer and actor and the only man ever to knockout Rocky Marciano. Although Wallace had a respectable record as a professional (20-7-0), his claim to fame came in 1948 when, as an amateur, he defeated future Heavyweight Champion of the World Rocky Marciano in the New York Golden Gloves Tournament. As a professional, Rocky Marciano was undefeated, with a record of 49-0-0, and it is speculated that his loss to Wallace as an amateur was the only defeat of his boxing career. In addition to boxing, Wallace acted in four movies, twice playing boxer Joe Louis. Wallace died on January 30, 2005 of heart failure. He was 77. Filmography External Links *FOX Sports Obituary
