What does Joe Calzaghe and Rocky Marciano have in common?

Question

Their biggest wins were against way past their prime legends. Also both men had inflated records.

Answer 1

wow your boxing knowledge can just about squeeze into a thimble.  your an idiot and maybe you should watch more of both fighters.  if it was a black guy that beat Hopkins as soundly as Joe did would that make you feel better big guy?

Answer 2

I believe Calzaghe was actually a better fighter when he was younger.  Calzaghe is also past his prime - which tells you how good he was when American audiences chose not to notice him.

It shows the ignorance of american fight fans when Calzaghe still has to prove himself when he's old himself - 36.

Answer 3

ANYONE who demeans Rocky Marciano's record & abilities clearly knows NOTHING about Boxing.---- Actually..you sound like the same kind of defeated sore loser that Bernard sounded like after his loss to Joe.---BTW--this is not the first time that Bernard has whined after an obvious loss.

Answer 4

LOL "way past their prime"

last time i checked hopkins jus finished off antonio tarver AND winky wright....and he knocked down calzaghe in the first round

"inflated records" ....wow someones hating hardcore. how bout you go do some d**n research before you try and talk trash about someone whose obviously gonna be in the hall of fame.

Answer 5

Its been widely published that the delay in Hopkins vs Calazaghe was Hopkins fault, not Calazaghes.  Hopkins was said to have made very unreasonable money demands after it seemed like a fight was about to be signed.  Joe cant do anything about Hopkins being past his prime now.....And past his prime or not, Hopkins is still a dirty *** fighter with no class in the ring.  I liked Hopkins before I saw some of his acting tonight, and a whole lot of initiating holding

Answer 6

LMFAO! Now that was better then mines!

Answer 7

LOL! I knew the black racists would come out! Moore, Walcott, and Charles were VERY prime! h**l, Archie Moore held the Lt. Heavyweight title for eight freaking years after he fought Marciano! He fought Cassius Clay/ Muhammad Ali/Barak Obama 8 1/2 years after he fought Marciano in his prime. Joe Louis was past prime for sure, but Louis himself said he didn't think he could deal with Marciano at ANY time! Next you will say that Jermaine Taylor was past prime when Kelly Pavlik smoked him!
