    Marciano's record is no better than Joe's if you actually know boxing history.

    He only defended his title six times for fucks sake. He won it against the 50's equivilant of Frank Bruno, an old guy who won the world title finally in his 4 or 5th attempt only to lose it in his second defense. And he was beating him on all the judges cards before Rocky put him away.

    He only actually defended his title against 5 men and one of them was a rematch with Woolcott.

    You have a myopic view of boxing history in that you can see weaknesses in a modern boxer's record but not in the past.

    Calzaghe has already done as much as Marciano.
    Who did Rocky Marciano beat better than those guys ?? Ezzard Charles Archie Moore Joe Louis Jersey Joe Walcott Roland LaStarza

    39yo Walcott who Louis beat in much better fasion, 38yo Louis, 41yo Moore (Lightheavy), Ezzard Charles who lost 12 of his next 16 fights.

    Dont be silly.
    They were the best Heavyweights at that time regardless of age it isn't Rocky Marciano's fault he fought the best at that time and all of those names are more highly regarded than any names you mentioned regardless of age and if your bringing age into it remind me how old Bernard Hopkins was ? and remind me how much weight Chris Eubank had to lose in 1 week ? you can pick apart anyone resume infact you could make an argument most of Calzaghe's best opponents were past there prime but like i said Joe Calzaghe is very good fighter and i won't pick apart his record because like i said you can pick apart anyones resume even the great Sugar Ray Robinson.

    Its not the Rocks fault im just pointing out that what he done is in no way better than what Joe Calzaghe done at 168.

    The Rock had power thats why he is rememberd and maybe because he was white.

    Salvador Sanchez did far more than the Rock retired 50 fights undefeated is he spoke about with such affection?
