      Fairly weak resume, the best fighters he beat (Ezzard Charles, Archie Moore, Joe Louis) were past their best.

              Why isn't joe calzaghe...

              Marciano beat Ezzard and Archie
              Calzaghe beat roy and bernard

              I think they are the CO-GOATS

                  His resume is good, even though his best wins were against incredible fighters who were past their prime. Yes, Louis was washed up, but the other guys were still superb, if not at the absolute top of their game.

                  It's a size issue. Marciano fought at 187 or so. A really big skilled guy like Lewis would nuke him.
