is Calzaghe's record any worse than Rocky Marciano?

Marciano (or Al Weill) may have avoided Nino Valdez and Bob Baker, but Marciano more or less beat the top contenders at HW during his time there. It wasn't that Marciano avoided the tough fighters, but the HW division was weak then.

Calzaghe still wouldn't be talked about like Marciano, no matter where he was from, because the SMW division in the 2000s simply doesn't compare in popularity to the HW division in the 1950s.

 

i honestly think you are right if he was american he would be loved alot more than what he is...i wouldnt say rocky was worse but i think you can relate their records rocky fought better opposition but joes title reign was longer

 

Exactly. Calzaghe has better resume than him.

 

Marciano's competition was better

 

good point. in fact, off topic slightly but.. gretsky, micheal jordan, tiger woods, who is it now?

 

What point are you making, exactly?

As for the thread, Marciano fought better competition than Calzaghe.

 

All you're proving with this thread is your immense lack of knowledge.

 

You cannot justify that statement other than claiming what is very evident, that you don't have a clue what you're talking about.

 

Marciano: Walcott X2, Charles X2, Louis, Moore, LaStarza, Layne, Matthews, Savold, Beshore, etc.

Calzaghe: Hopkins, Kessler, Eubank, Lacy, Mitchell, Shieka, Reid, etc.

I think the edge is quite clear.

 

stop with the Calzaghe's record threads AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

 

These efforts to defend Calzaghe are becoming increasingly ridiculous.

 

It's Gretzky...Hey, i'M CANADIAN. :yep
