    Taken from lounge thread.

    Calzaghe is taller, had the advantages of modern nutrition, better training et cetera It's not fair on Rock.

    He was also more adaptable, had more heart, similar chin and was probably as powerful before he hurt his hands.

    If they were both from the same era it would be a toss up but becasue of the modern nutrition and training Calzaghe would win by U.D.

    Are we really suggesting Rocky can't beat the **** out of Calzaghe?

    I did a thread about this ages ago and got laughed at. Marciano could make 175 with the new weigh in the day before the fight rules. Some one called me an idiot for saying they weigh about the same saying Marciano is 20lb heavier, yeah coz Calzaghe came to fight at 168. He apparently gained about a stone.

    This will end up with 75% of people voting Marciano even many will have seen him and probably not Calzaghe fight.

    Marciano's been ducking Calzaghe for years.

    they both had heart and a great chin but what is in bold completely trivializes the pop that rocky had not only in his right hand but also his left. he is known for his "suzie q" but he had a viscious left as well. calzaghe has never been in the ring w/ anything like it.

    along those lines, i don't see calzaghe really hurting rocky. while calzaghe will throw a ton of punches, he is not relentless the way rocky was. what joe did in the hopkins fight was not relentless. volume doesnt always = relentless. rocky was relentless.

    this really isnt fair to calzaghe.

    I was ****ing around. Bad style matchup, Calzaghe would get K.O.

    Disgusting display of ducking. Marciano doesn't even appear in public any more because his ducking is that shameless.

    Just because Marciano weighed 185 back then, it doesn't mean he could make 175 now. He trained hard and lost weight to get down to 185 - if he was fighting now, he'd probably be around 200lbs.

    As for this joke of a fight, Marciano ko1.
