can floyd break marciano's record of retiring undefeated?

In Marciano's first fight with Roland La Starza, a 22 year old kid, the result was a split draw. But there seemed to have been some kind of "supplemental" points which the ref (5-5) could award at his option, and he awarded one to Marciano.....so Marciano was officially credited with a split W. Stinks od "connections" to me...... So...along with all the other more than dubious evidence against a "perfect 49-0", we have a likely obvious "fix".

No way in hell Floyd fights 8 more times. I give him 5 more fights TOPS.

It will be difficult with the competition he faces. Staying undefeated against so called cherry picked opponents like DLH, Hatton, Marquez, Mosley, and possibly Ortiz, is actually tough as nails, but internet experts think it's easy or just hold Floyd to really high standards. Add in all the other tough guys Floyd fought, if Floyd sucked he could have easily had 2-3 losses by now with the competition he faced. It's gonna be tough to stay undefeated against a line up of Ortiz, Pacquiao, and Khan, all 3 would easily be favored against anybody they fight from 140-147, except Floyd. That would move Floyd to 45-0 if he beats them all, and that resume would be one of, if not the best active resume in boxing, overall.

rocky marciano retired with 49-0, calzaghe finished on 46-0, can floyd take over marciano's record and take it up to 50-0? ellerbe said today floyd wants to carry on for another few years, if he's more active, can he break the record? or will he eventually lose? Yes Mayweather could beat Marciano's record if he followed his path in fighting used up veterans, ordinary fighters with padded records, and general all out palookas. If he had a brother or brother-in-law with whom he could have a few fights under assumed names, it would help too. And good connections would always be apreciated.

Rocky owns the HW record. I think someone else owns the overall undefeated record. I could be wrong. Ricardo Lopez retired a few years ago with a record of 51-0-1.

with floyd's boxing schedule? that'll be like in 12 years.

i honestly think its too late for him to do that. but its irrelevant to his legacy anyways. what matters more is the fighters he fights as his career winds down.

200,000 of your points to 800,000 of mine says Floyd spanks the living **** out of Victoria Wartiz. I don't really know how to do the betting, can u explain it to me? If so, I'd be glad to bet.

So Ricardo Lopez and Jimmy Barry don't count? Is Floyd a HW now? They both have draws, people may be just referring to people who won every bout they had.

@ dancov: Right, and nobody thought Terry Norris was gonna spank Ray Leonard either... 200,000 of your points to 800,000 of mine says Floyd spanks the living **** out of Victoria Wartiz.

he will retire before getting there

@ dancov: Right, and nobody thought Terry Norris was gonna spank Ray Leonard either...

At this point, he fights what? Once a year? He has to stay in the sport 9 more years to reach Marciano's and Calzaghe's record. I don't think he's going to make it. I give him one more fight after Ortiz, two at most then retirement.

I seriously doubt Floyd is smart enough to get out before that "0" goes. Julio Cesar Chavez wasn't. Roy Jones wasn't. And neither will Floyd be. Plus, Ortiz is gonna kick his ass in September anyway so we don't have to wait much longer. And even if Floyd gets by Victor, somebody will punch his ticket. It happens to the best of them. Ortiz isn't going to kick naff all but his sorry arse back to the surf-club he crawled from. Ortiz is NOTHING but a very very poor mans Gatti & we all witnessed what Floyd did to Gatti. Ortiz = A club-footed Gatti with a weaker chin, less heart & ability not to mention virtually zero defence unless of course, you class blocking punches with your face as defence.

Marciano's is just the HW record I believe. Ricardo Lopez retired with a 51-0 record. David Rodriguez, the great white dope! Ole David is currently sat at 35-0 (30 milkmen, a bartender, a cab driver, a 1978 bronze medal shotput thrower, a corpse, oh & a C- level club fighter/sparring partner from Jamaica that claims disability for having a sugar glass chin named Owen ''what a load of crap'' Beck) soon to be 36-0 and has no intentions of fighting anybody ranked in the top 50 so who knows, he's about 32 & fighting 4-5 barely top 150 ranked opponents each year so he'll probably end up around 70-0 before he is forced to retire & get back to sweeping the floors of McDonalds, either that or he'll be forced to retire as he can no longer even sell out the chicken sheds he fights in. Biggest fraud since that other undefeated, pillow-fisted, coward Sven Ottke.
