Joe Calzaghe vs Rocky Marciano

[Cojimar 1946]

Who wins at super middleweight. Marciano could make weight with early weight ins

At let's say a Catchweight of 180 pounds, I'd say Marciano wins by KO around the 6th or 7th round while being outboxed in any of the rounds where he doesn't drop Calzaghe.

You're absolutely right. Marciano would be a 168 pounder today; it's crazy to even think it, but it's accurate. I'd take him to stop Calzaghe.

He never weighed below 179. I would never consider him to be a Light Heavyweight, let alone a Super Middleweight. He could've made Light Heavyweight THEN. He didn't want to. He was a Heavyweight.

A guy weighing in at 184-189, like Marciano did on a same day weigh-in could make 168 if he weighed-in over 30 hours before fight time. we all know Rocky was a heavyweight; we're talking about a mythical fight under today's rules for weigh-ins.

Right, and even in mythical fights, the bigger star doesn't make concessions to the lesser one.

Joe Calzaghe would COME UP in weight. Marciano would not GO DOWN for him, let's be clear about that.
