    The only reason he should fight on would be to break Marciano's record of 49-0 and that would take 4 more fights. Otherwise he should just fight 1 fight to cement him against a prime contender. JT, Bute, Froch, or Dawson comes to mind. Hmm thats 4 more fights. Theres no way you could deny him anything if he pulled that off. He would be G.O.A.T.

    Marcianos recors isnt that great.

    Only 7 title fights, and 2 were rematches and only during 3 years

    Rocky fought alot of stiffs to get to championship level.

    Liston and Foremans title reigns were also poor and over rated

    Marciano fought the best that was out there at the time and KO'd pretty much all of them....never once did he coast to the finish line, he always wanted to please the crowd by giving them a KO.

    Foreman demolished Joe Frazier who beat Muhammed Ali (once thought of as unbeatable) and therefore this made Frazier seemingly invincible and Foreman squashed him.


    I agree with you about Liston but he also waited a long time for a title shot as there was only ONE title back then.


    As for Calzaghe, I figure he'll continue fighters usually do that and losing only prolongs their careers if he was to do so he may spend 5 fights trying to clear off his legacy.
