Joe's key to ATG status - Surpass Rocky's 49-0 record!

[Rompeboca]

Rocky's 49-0 Record is for the hevyweight Division, since some others have done it other weight classes!

If I were Joe, I'd aim for 50-0 myself. For the following reason.

He would best Marciano, something that's never been done. And would take him to the "ATG" list with not a single critic to be heard.

And I'm not really even a fan of his. I just love watching history happen in the ring, and Joe is the only man who's ever been as close as he is to Rocky's record.

valueuv was 48-0

valueuv was 48-0

Actually 46-0 before his loss and his record is lame but so does the HW division these days!

[deuce_drop]

he wont even try, too worried about losing his 0.......the only way he would go for the record is if he could fight guys on manfredo's level, c+ fighters from here on out..........

[El Chicano]

What about all of the other great fighters who didn't surpass Marciano's record? Are they less great for not surpassing some statistic?

No, but it sure would be a nice record to go out on, especially given that he's just beat Roy and B-Hop in back to back fights, granted they are past their best years. He could shut up all the critics in the U.S. (like me)
