His CV is overrated by some. He's obviously a elite fighter. But if you're calling the likes of Ortiz, Guerrero and Maidana great wins (see several threads made over the last 24 hours), then you're overrating those wins.
They're good wins, not great. The point is nobody in the last 5 years has done better.
Loooooooool. I wasn't aware you could see race over the internet. Out of curiosity, is the OP one of these "ethnics"? Am I? ****tard.
I'd also like to see all these posts criticising Marciano. Were they all made this month, after you "joined"?
You assume I'm talking about this website and not in boxing circles or in real life. That mistake is yours, not mine. A lot of posters on here and other forums do tend to make their ethnicity known however through name or fighters they support.

Marciano is criminally underrated on these forums, mostly by ethnic posters who haven't even watched a single one of his fights.
But it is kind of unfair considering that Pac's team walked away from the initial negotiations. Freddie is on tape admitting that the fight not happening the first time was their fault.
One of the most overrated resume of boxing history possibly on the same level of Rocky Marciano with a mix of Joe Calzaghe and Sven Ottke.
With the mention of Rocky Marciano I think It'd be fair to say that Floyd decided to pick the fight with Manny Pacquiao six years when he went through losses against Bradley (controversial) and Juan Manuel Marquez KO loss instead of fighting him right after the dominating win over Miguel Cotto.
The thing is can we really take a fighter serious who is suppose to be rated with the greats of Sugar Ray Robinson and Muhammad Ali when he dictated so much of his career on when he decided to fight his opponents?
For me this is a massive deduction to credit and legitimacy to rating of his overall career and partly why he wont be rated higher than Manny Pacquiao overall in the ratings.
To be a great it means more than waiting out and making smart decisions i.e. when a fighter is past his best that is a smart decision but not something which proves you as the best quality fighter this is why someone like Wladimir Klitschko deserves to be rated ahead of him, you just simply cannot always determine your opponents all the time and expect to be rated as the number one not only does Wladimir pick the better opponents but he is the better ambassador for the sport who doesn't disrespect the sport of boxing with any criminal behavior win or loss against Tyson Fury it is clear as day that Wladimir is being unfairly treated because of the hype around Floyds name not the accomplishments of the man.
I don't know how I'm supposed to take you seriously when your last paragraph was one long sentence. This whole thread was overrrated.
