Who`s Greater Joe or Rocky

Rocky Balboa

 

How many rounds would Joe the Jr. Lt.Heavy or even the Lt. Heavy Champ gone against the 185 pound Rock?

I'm sort of old fashioned. Jr. Lt. Heavy a weight invented so Lennard would not have to fight real Lt. Heavies for a 5th belt so he could "match" Hearn's real accomplishments.

 

Marciano, he beat much superior fighters.

 

Well, your putting Calzaghe in there against a guy 10-17 pounds heavier than himself. And a fellow ATG fighter. So really, it's irrelevant.

 

Marciano is a top 25 guy of all time.

Calzaghe is top 125.

That about sums it up.

 

Rocky is bigger and stronger than calzaghe. He would murder him.

 

I find it very, very difficult to put Marciano in the top 25 fighters of all-time in a pound-for-pound sense.

Not what the question is asking dip****.

 

Somehow I can't vote for Calzaghe here.

 

thing is name 5 other ATG super-middleweights

there so many ATG heavyweights that being no.3 alltime heavy is way better then being no.1 alltime super-middle

 

Ring Magazine has Marciano #12 over the last 80 years back in 2002:

Bert Sugar has Marciano at #14 of all time.

 

the poll result speaks for itself

 

Exactly.

The point made by H. Henry is irrelevant.

 

Rock weighs in at @185 at 12 the day of the fight. or 8-9 hours before the fight.
Cal weighs in at 175...36 hours before the fight. Ring weight at least 185+.
Weight in the ring about the same. At Jr. Lt. Heavy 178- 180.
Charles was fast, Kid Matthews was fast. Both Cal's fighting weight.
We do fight real championship 15 rounds do we not.
Rocky, fights out of the crouch, a great ducker and harder to hit than thought...ask any who fought him's after the fact...info there.

Ok, I admit Rocky was back in the middle of the last Century...back before they had color TV even...

Put Cal in vs a prime Charles, or a Prime Mongoose (36 year old)...is Cal as good as Charles or Archie.
Would Cal be able to beat a Spinks or a Foster?
Then to say he'd beat the Rock is rather dumb.

 

Can't compare the weights.

Marciano is much greater than Joe though so I guess you are right!
