      Both fight old, shot, former middleweights... Is that what you meant? I guess not.

        I will give my verdict once a decent number of well thought replies occur.

            Both have Italian roots.. both throw punches non stop.. neither has concussive power.. yet both have plenty of KO wins..

            Both have/had iron chins and awesome stamina

            Both held/hold belts.. both were/are undisputed...

            That's about it mate.. the rest is apples and oranges

              Damn that's pretty harsh. I think Ezzard Charles (at 32 and 33) were pretty good wins for him. Charles was arguably the greatest LHW ever and people rag on Marciano for this win, but come on, Rocky only weighed 185.

                I love it when a Poster can answer a question in a single post!
                Respect.
