The Marciano Curse

[Russian Crushin]

True, but he didn't retire undefeated, so Marciano's record remained intact.

Ricardo Lopez also had a great record, but he had one draw after his 47th win, so that stopped him from beating Marciano's unblemished resume.

You have to specify which record

Undefeated
Unblemished
Retired
More then 5'10

Chavez was undefeated with 89 wins, that blew Marciano's record out

[Hougigo]

Key word is retired

Ok bro, first you try to defend Roy's case but then say this about Lopez's.

to those arguing lopez had a draw

Marciano retired 49-0 and made boxing history...but later, in a horrible twist of fate, died in a plane crash. When unbeaten champions approach Marciano's record, something bad often happens.

Victims:

Chris John stopped by Simpiwe Vetyeka after 48th win

Paul Spadafora lost to Johan Perez after 48th win

Larry Holmes lost to Spinks twice after 48th win

Dariusz Michalczewski lost to Julio Cesar Gonzalez after 48th win

Roy Jones Junior knocked out cold by Tarver after 49th win

Brian Nielsen stopped by ****y Ryan after 49th win

Larry Holmes was not beat by Spinks he was cheated. They didn't want him to break the record.

lopez draw was more of a robbery, he really got his ass beat in that fight against alvarez.

I think you are reaching with this thread. I don't believe in curses, jinxes or superstitions. I don't think there is a Marciano curse. Holmes lost twice to Spinks but he is also a multi millionaire and probably will remain a multi millionaire for the rest of his long life. Holmes is blessed, not cursed.

[SN!PER]

I think Mayweather will escape the curse undefeated. We'll see!

[Dean_Razorback]

oh no, that means that cesar cuenca is in danger

It does seem to happen often when a notable fighter is looking for their 49th win, no one can deny that.
