  2. Thanks Fritz - I thought he looked a bit 'beefy' to be Rocky.

  3. That's great !... 14 eggs, 19 pieces of toast, a loaf of bread, half pound of Virginia ham... etc.

    My dad used to play cards with Two-Ton Tony Galento. I've got some great stories about him...

  4. Primo reminds me of the boxer from Miller's Crossing...

  5. Very true... the Coen Brother's probably based the character on Primo - a big galoot with something slightly endearing about him.
