The Most Remarkable Feat By Any Heavyweight

[ProBox1]

When thinking about some of heavyweight histories most remarkable accomplishments, a few immediately stand out and come to mind. Such as former heavyweight champion Rocky Marciano retiring undefeated at 49-0. It's been 50 years since Rocky retired and only two former champs have made it to forty wins without suffering a loss. George Foreman was 40-0 when he was upset by Muhammad Ali in 1974. And Larry Holmes, who is the only fighter to even challenge Marciano's record reaching 48-0, was upset by Michael Spinks in 1985 in his forty ninth bout. [details]

Holyfield is a 4-time heavyweight champion

I think Tyson had the best feet.

winning the title at 19 years of age? I don't know, I think Holyfield winning it 4 times is amazing, but Foreman winning it at 40 years of age is more impressive than Tyson winning at age 19.

Just going 49-0 is not that great of a feat.

VK could easily have gone 49-0 against the caliber fighters he fought in his first 20 fights.

I have to go with Big George KOing Michal Moorer to regain the title. I think He can still do it too. No sarcasm there.

Or when Gatti's eyes were basicly closed, he had gone down several times and he came back. That was simply awesome and a great show of heart. Coming back from a beating like these and KOing your opponent are great feats in the sport. There are so many, its hard to narrow it down.
