Floyd? Calzaghe? Ward? Marciano? Someone better I'm missing ? I'm picking Floyd asost impressive, Calzaghe as least impressive and I'm stuck between Ward and Marciano
Yeah.. frankly, a bit shocked you didn't mention Finito López on the list considering you did Calzaghe & Ward. I'd say he is pretty clearly better than either of them.
Calzaghe's unbeaten record is more impressive than López's? Or just the guys listed in the OP (which I'm not sure I even agree with, either, outside maybe Ward) Finito was 25-0-1 (19) in world title fights... he exactly matched Calzaghe's run of 21 consecutive title defenses (WBC for López, and more lightly-regarded WBO for Calzaghe) - and before you throw out the phrase "weak era", let's remember that 168lbs in Joe's day can hardly be called a hotbed of talent.
Look at who Finito fought man, alot of fighters with losing records 18 wins against fighters win losing records or making their debut
Honestly I have to give to Marciano because he did fight everyone. Floyd fought most and his record is very impressive, but he did miss a few people at certain times of his career. People will give Floyd ****, but it would still be very hard to replicate Floyd's competition level and still come out undefeated. Like I said, very close but Rocky did fight everyone, and you can't take that away from him.
Floyd has only fought 3 fighters with losing records 2 making their debut only 2 with .500 records out of 49 fights 26 world title fights 18 were lineal fights and 25 were against former champions.. it is not even an argument
