Best fighters to ever step in the ring

[The Old LefHook]

The man on the street will quickly say Marciano. He was so complete he never had to change but jes' kept fighting the same way to a perfect record. Box, dance, punch, brawl, he had it all, and the chin of two men. He should have been born a twin. The only slight chìnk in his armor was paper mache skin, and that was not attributable to himself. He sometimes left fights looking like he had just beaten a man who wielded a meat cleaver. It is only fair to exempt Rocky from conversations he would otherwise dominate, such as those regarding punch, stamina, chin and grace, so other boxers can get a mention. Walker, Robinson, Dempsey, Langford, Clay, Foreman et al were good little fighters too, they just were not perfect. Only one man was perfect and faced stellar competition too.

Mayweather did it on soft competition, often waiting for prime opponents to fade before he signed against them, whereas the Rock took 'em as quick as he could sign 'em up. That is a mighty difference.

Exactly. 51-0. Should be in the conversation whether you like the guy or not.

And remember, my point is that he should be mentioned in the conversation, not whether or not he is in fact the greatest. He clearly belongs in the conversation

Good to see you back bro! As usual an intelligent comment.
