Joe Calzaghe vs. Rocky Marciano @ 182lb catchweight?

[W1LL]

Going off stats from their final fights. Who wins and how?

[SN!PER]

Joe's storm of slaps would do nothing to Rocky.

He would plow through them like a bull in a china shop.

Rocky would hurt Joe badly by round 5 and the British ref would stop the fight.

I think Rocky was heavy handed enough to put Joe down at least a couple times. Joe is such a wild card though because he brought out the truth out in a lot of guys. Showed you where their ceiling was. That volume, movement, and timing can't be denied. I'm inclined to say Marciano by TKO but wouldn't count out Calzaghe.

[Butt stuff]

If Bhop and shot RJJ can put him down, then a beast in Marciano could keep him down. But Calzhage did always find a way I guess. Smart money is on the bigger (naturally heavier), stronger mauler though.

Two great fighters from Italian heritage. It depends on if Marciano could catch Calzaghe - I think Joe's best weight was super-middle - he didn't look like he carried the weight too well up to light-heavy. So I will go with Marciano by late stoppage, but Joe would be in the fight for sure.

I voted Marciano by KO. Joe was good but Marciano was incredible. No catchweight would be needed. Marciano fought in the days of same day weigh in and of course fighting as a heavyweight he didn't have to make weight. Marciano would weigh in about 184 pounds maybe 8 hours before the fight in street clothes without missing any food or water. He probably weighed less on fight night than Joe did. He would have no size or weight advantage. He would win because he was a better fighter.

Marciano, his undefeated number is higher then Joe's undefeated number and really that's all you can say about either one of them.

Total mismatch. Joe would have broken ribs and be unconscious. Rocky would really harm the man with his freakish power.

cal would be too fancy in the feet for rock.
