Did anyone ever break Marciano's record??

[Parody]

Brian Nielsen (born April 1, 1965 in Korsør) is a former boxer from Denmark, who won bronze medals in the super heavyweight division at the 1991 European Championships and the 1992 Olympics in Barcelona, and turned pro shortly after the Olympics. He won 102 out of 111 amateur fights.

Nielsen's pro career looked obscure at first, but things started to change after his fifth-round stoppage of former WBA champion James 'Bonecrusher' Smith in October, 1994. That win seemed to boost Nielsen's confidence, and through better performances combined with skillful matchmaking, he began to climb the rankings. Nielsen earned a reputation of a man who could take a punch and did not mind trading them with his opponents. A chubby fighter who always looked somewhat out of shape, he won many of his fights by simply wearing out the opposition. During his career, he defeated a number of former world champions, including Jeff Lampkin, Tony Tubbs, Carlos De Leon, Larry Holmes, Tim Witherspoon, Orlin Norris and Uriah Grant

Nielsen equalled the legendary Rocky Marciano's record of 49-0. However, this is not generally recognized as a record, since Nielsen never won the world championship of a major sanctioning organization.

many boxing historians believe holmes was robbed becuase he was black and they way he acted toward the record... thats a shame

Again, the record is not going 49-0, but retiring with that number. Valuev can go 60-0 and he still hasn't beaten the record until he's dead or its evident he can no longer make a comback and potentally spoil the record.

Holmes was robbed against Michael Spinks because he was Black? Michael Spinks was black too.

Let me ask a question while we're on the topic; if Valuev goes to 50-0 does he qualify to break Marciano's record even though he has 1 no-contest on his record?

My answer to this question is, I don't really know because no one is really sure what happened to cause one of his fights to be ruled a no-contest. Does anyone here have any info?

Man, I won't even count that if he does. Valuev is a *****, who did he ever fight? Marciano fought men, real fighters, to top it off he was undersized for a heavy weight.

I hope Klitchko gets to him, Klitschko has said he used to fight 7 footers all the time in Ukraine when he was an amatuer, and as sloppy as Valuev is he would get knocked out, he would be open all day for jabs and straight crosses.
