Comments Thread For: Hagler: Marciano's 49-0 is Better Than Mayweather's 50-0

This says it all, only Floyd ****riders can't comprehend this.



Case in point.

Because it's a mind numbingly dumb line of thinking.

So only heavyweights can be considered the greatest?

This is literally brand new to me.

Of course.

This is Boxing, chances are you aren't going to go through the world level without close fights that you could argue they lost. Barely anyone did it, I can't think of a single one.

But don't say "Marciano went undefeated without controversy" because that is flat out false.

Consider revising, to those who didn't know that. Seems like a lot of you by the look of things.

He went 49-0 man. Its well known.

Floyd is at 48-0 but he's fighting Andre Berto next. Berto is a completely different fighter. He has evolved and has a new diet.

Don't be surprised if Floyd get KTFO early. Berto is a man in his prime. You can't beat a man in his prime.

Stopped reading at "Marciano went undefeated without controversy"

And for the record, Marciano's resume doesn't come close to Mayweather's. Really not close at all.

Bitter little Floydette fans can't handle what a real legend thinks
Floyd doesn't have a single win that is better than a washed up version of Joe Louis, why you ask... That's because Floyd avoided all his greatest challenges in their prime.

It's because it doesn't fit your line of thinking. you can't be considered the greatest if you're winning in divisions with limitations. You can't be considered the best in a sport if you can't compete with, never mind beat, others who participate in it as well. How is that a hard concept to understand? It's hard to understand for you and the usual suspects in here because you worship Floyd.

Yep. There will always be that SD over LaStarza that a lot of people at ringside thought Marciano lost...

ugh....what about floyd vs castillo 1?

What does that have to do with your statment; "Marciano went undefeated without controversy" which is entirely false?

As I said previously, consider revising.

See that's the problem. You can say that about anyone's resume ever. This is boxing. These things happen.

Yeah but what isn't up for debate is the "amateur" fight Marciano lost while he was an active professional. The record should read 49-1...

[2shameless]

Surely Rocky does not really qualify for an unbeaten record. 49-1 is the real record, losing to Coley Wallace in a curiously listed "amateur" bout, yet the Rock was already fighting professionally. No doubt had he beaten Wallace, his record would read 50-0!
Far too much emphasis is put on unbeaten records, which in most, if not all cases, contain questionableable decisions.

Curious first post. You want a disputed 3 round regional Golden Gloves decision loss listed on Marciano's pro record? Intredasting.

So true, I've heard plenty of people on here defend Floyd's petty criminal antics saying how someone deserves to be hit then all the racism, stalking and threatening to kill people etc.

I'll never take a fan who will defend a petty little thug like that seriously, some people just want to be different so badly though.

Actually, Marciano went 49*-0.

* = the one "amateur" fight he lost while he was an active professional...
