      People are too obsessed with numbers. Even if Joe or Floyd did go 50 and 0 they wouldn't really be breaking Marciano's record because they would have defeated 50 completely different fighters than the fighters Marciano defeated. Maybe better or maybe worse but certainly different fighters. The quality of the fighters defeated is much more important than the number of fighters defeated. Floyd, Joe and Rocky all had great careers and never lost a fight. Would one more win for Mayweather or 4 more wins for Calzaghe really make their record that much better? Rocky was still young when he retired undefeated. If he knew there would be such a fuss over breaking his record he probably could have defeated 5 or 10 more guys and then retired and then 60 and 0 would be the number to beat.

              You Yanks always build up guys like Lacy and so on up you've only got yourself to blame there are a few other average guys that are still considered absolute ATG's... James Toney there I said it, overrated as fuq!
              Lazy worker and multiple dodgy decisions in his favour this is the American effect I'm not saying us Brits don't have it because we do we have terrible world champions like McDonnell and Kelly Brook who we will no doubt in the next 10-20 years tout as the best British boxer.
              Mark my word Eubank and Nigel Benn would have likely beat the snot out of Toney.

                  where is joe calzaghe's corrales,castillo,cotto,judah,oscar,hatton?

                  he doesn't have any.

                  calzaghe best wins are against 40 year olds.
