Nobody is unstoppable. Calzaghe didn't fight any top level guys when they were in their prime. And Marciano didn't either. If you wanted to see Marciano stopped, he would have had to have the balls to continue calling for a comeback championship bout. He intended to come back to fight Floyd Patterson, but when Liston destroyed Patterson, Marciano felt it would be safer to stay retired.
Depends on the circumstances. Marciano's best wins were old Joe Louis, light heavyweight Ezzard Charles, who had already lost twice to Jersey Joe Walcott, old Jersey Joe Walcott, and old Archie Moore. There are no prime top level killers on Marciano's resume. He wanted to come out of retirement to fight Patterson for the title, but lost interest in a comeback when Liston destroyed Patterson. As far as Calzaghe, his best win is controversial decision over a 43 year old man. He faced no prime top level killers either, and chose to retire, instead of facing a prime young lion in Chad Dawson, who brought an undefeated record, as well as quality wins, over Adamek, and Johnson to the table.
I've heard this before, let's crucify them for beating all oppistion available. Do you give Marciano credit for getting back up and beating Jersey Joe after being knocked down. To me, that's a credit to Marciano beating a Walcott who still had ability to put opponents on their Arse, even at Walcots late but still salty stage in his career.
I'm not crucifying him, just pointing out facts. Guys aged much faster in the ring back then as well. The fact that he talked of coming back out of retirement to face Patterson, but fell quiet when Liston destroyed Patterson, tells a bit of a tale as well.
I respect that, but I have trouble looking past a flawless record I mean it wasn't his fault Archie, Jersey and Ezzard had seen there better days. In light of the subject, I do not give Holmes that much credit for beating Ali. But I think you are comparing apples to Toyotas if we bring GGG, ( the modern day Eddie Van Halen ) into this convo. It's not like GGG is fighting guys that are 65-8 and completely washed up. I feel that welters and middles are where it's at today. I mean, who TF wants to watch Heavys these days? So unintriguing, I mean Tyson Fury, gimme a break. Deontay should be the one being apologized to. There is somebody that is fighting in the wrong era.
Golovkin fighting a guy with 65 wins would be an improvement over the trash he has been facing. It's bad when guys like Wade, Monroe, Rubio, Geale, Macklin, Rosado etc. are getting title shots, because there is absolutely no quality in the division. Jacobs is the first legit guy he has lined up.
Are you and your fiancee still worried and crying over Stevens getting KO'd by Lemieux? Despite being such a scumbag when he made fun of GGG's brother dying in Russian military and his remains not being returned to the family. I swear you White knight and get all emo over all the wrong people.
Why would I cry over that? All I did was ask you to prove your claim. I'm aware of the trash talk stevens did. It means little to me. Don't try to distract from the fact that you made a claim with no proof to back up. Kevin Willis is one of my favorite basketball players ever. I love the meat an potato workers in the NBA, and he was a workhorse. Built like a f*ckin tank!! And I loved his rebounding! Do me a favor, don't ruin his name please.
