Who was the guy in Rocky's picture?

Kenny, don't paint your sister.
What was the name of the boxer in the picture over Rocky Balboa's fireplace in his apartment? (From the 1976 original)

Thanks!

I haven't seen the movie in ages, but I would assume it's gotta be Rocky Marciano, Heavyweight Champ from September 1952 through April 1956, who retired undefeated.

I just watched Rocky V the other day and he had a cufflink necklace of a boxing glove that was given to him by Rocky Marciano. So, that would be my guess, but Mark F already knows the answer for sure.
