Better legacy. Marciano or Mayweather Jr?

[Testdead]

Yeah I mean it's basically the Mayweather hater brigade. I'm pretty sure if other forums saw that we think Marciano's resume is as good as Floyd's, we'd be a laughing stock if we aren't already

Mayweather after Castillo took zero risks.

Great fighter but the resume of a turd.

Marciano ducked everyone.

Both have poor resumes either old or fights aided by refs.

Marciano but if Floyd beats Pac/Hatton winner without a ref job then him.

Marciano is the same as Joe in term of resume, you only ****suck one and slag the other because of nationality.

Welcome to non-stop boxing.

Yeah welcome to the world of Darkstar.

The world where Mayorga is a great fighter, Joe Calzaghe is a God, Roy Jones and Mayweather are garbage and Rocky Marciano is the greatest heavy of all time cause he KOed the corpse of Archie.

Good ****.

According to the last 10 threads I've seen around here the answer is:

JOE CALZAGHE.

Marciano...

Yeah I used to think this guy was ok and rated his opinion aside from all the hate. Now I just think he is a bit ridiculous and rarely says anything correct or reasonable.

Marciano was a victim of his time. The level of competition for the HW crown was just pretty weak when he was the champ. Therefore, he never got the wins against the level of opposition he needed to cement a great legacy. I'm not saying he couldn't beat that level of fighter, just that he didn't. He was reduced to fighting the shell of Joe Louis to gain some recognition.

It is a bit ridiculous to say that Mayweather beat "Gattis, Judah and at best DLHs" also. It either shows a significant bias against the man or a total lack of knowledge. Mayweather had great wins at 130 and 135 against prime, elite guys like Chavez, Corrales and Castillo as well as a very good win over a great 130 pound champion in Genaro Hernandez. Not only did he win all of those fights but he was hugely impressive in most of them. His achievement at 140 and above are just icing on a cake that is an incredible career at 130 and 135 pounds.

Hyping a win over a 32 year old Genaro Hernandez in the last fight of his career while denigrating wins like a 32 yo top 20 ATG HW Ezzard Charles shows just the tiniest bit of bias, don't you think?

I wasn't trying to hype Hernandez as being a better win than those on Marciano's resume. I was simply responding to Darkstar's criticism of Floyd Mayweather.

Personally I have no problem with ppl who want to rate Rock over Floyd, I just think it is ridiculous that someone would promote Gatti and Judah as Floyd's best wins, completely ignoring some dominant performances over elite fighters at lower weight classes.

So to answer your question, no, I don't.

For the record, I voted for Marciano. That seemed to get confused.
