Timeline
His father Ralph Fratto Sr. was born in Taverna, Calabria, Italy, in 1936, emigrating to the United States in 1948.
Ralph Sr. was a local boxing coach and would bring his son along to watch the fights.
Ralph "Rocky" Fratto (born October 29, 1958), "The Pride of Geneva", is an American former professional boxer from Geneva, New York.
Fratto was rated as the No. 1 Junior Middleweight in the United States by the USBA, and the second best Junior Middleweight in the world by the WBA.
On June 11, 1971, the Geneva Boxing Team had lost every fight and the young Fratto begged his father to let him in the ring.
His father said his son would have to learn a lesson the "hard way."
Rocky Fratto would win his first fight that night, and receive a trophy for the "fighter of the night."
This was the start of his boxing career at the age of 12.
Rocky Fratto had an amateur record of 73 wins, 3 losses and 28 knockouts.
Fratto won the New York State Golden Gloves Championship in 1973 at age 14 and the New York State AAU Championship in 1974 and 1975.
At the age of 17, in November 1975, Fratto enlisted in the United States Army.
In 1976 Fratto won the US All-Army Championship in the Middleweight division.
When Rocky won the All-Army crown, the Army Times called it the "biggest upset of the tourney and the best fought final."
Fratto defeated Navy champion and future National Champion James Rayford in the first round of the Armed Services Championships in 1976 (Rayford also defeated 1976 Olympian Chuck Walker in 1976).
He went on to defeat the US Air Force champion and Olympic Team alternate Henry Bunch, to become the US Armed Forces Interservice Champion.
This title qualified Fratto for the 1976 US Olympic Boxing Trials.
Army Boxing Coach Sergeant Brown said of Fratto "He came right in here and handled these guys. It's unusual for someone to just walk in and beat the fighters we have in the service. In fact, I don't think it has ever been done before. We usually recruit our boxers."
Fratto was honorably discharged from the Army in 1976.
Fratto turned pro in November, 1976 and reeled off 24 straight wins without a loss.
Hagler's team said they were "impressed with Fratto's style and boxing ability."
Veteran referee and boxing judge Jay Edson witnessed some sparring sessions between Fratto and Hagler, calling them "real wars," and stated that "Everyone watching was amazed at this unknown kid from Geneva, who was matching Hagler shot for shot."
Fratto was scheduled to face WBA Super Welterweight world champion Ayub Kalule in Copenhagen, Denmark on September 6, 1980.
However, the fight was pushed back as Kalule was obligated to defend his title against his mandatory challenger, Bushy Bester.
Fratto traveled to Denmark to watch the fight.
While abroad Fratto met with boxing promoter Mickey Duff about a possible title fight with WBC champion Maurice Hope.
During the interim, Sugar Ray Leonard challenged Kalule and the Fratto fight fell through, after Leonard's camp was able to come up with a better offer.
On April 25, 1981, Fratto became the North American Champion when he won the NABF Super Welterweight title, by defeating Rocky Mosley Jr.
Mosley was rated as the 4th best Junior Middleweight in the world by Ring Magazine prior to the fight.
Ring Magazine crowned Fratto as the U.S. Junior Middleweight Champion in 1981 and 1982.
Fratto was the first of three children born to Ralph and Concetta Fratto in Geneva, New York.
By April 1981 Fratto was fighting for the North American Boxing Championship.
After this victory Fratto was rated the number two Super Welterweight in the world.
Sugar Ray Leonard vacated his WBA Super Welterweight world title after beating Thomas Hearns for the WBA Welterweight world title in September 1981.
This fight set the stage for Fratto to face Tadashi Mihara, who was the number one rated Super Welterweight by the WBA.
The fight would take place in Rochester, New York on November 7, 1981.
This would be the first World Title fight ever held in Rochester, New York.
The fight went the full 15 rounds and Fratto lost a one-point majority decision.
