Comments Thread For: Rocky Marciano's Son Reacts To Mayweather's 49-0 Win

Only until he got called out on it

I can't even believe that this is a debate. Mayweather's resume is clearly and obviously much better than Marciano's and it's almost embarrassing to debate something this obvious. The hate is strong LOL.

Didn't you stand to be corrected (and had to be called out on it) in the De La Hoya thread? Sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander dan...

Castillo one he arguably lost, madianna was very close, not a dominant win if a win...I thought Judah was chopped liver Dan? Canelo Hatton Corrales etc were good wins....marciano had good wins as well, if we say Canelo was a young buck inexperienced and dangerous, then we say Moore was an old buck, experienced and dangerous, we can match Hernadez to Charles, Charles is an ATG that yes was past his prime, but still a great fighter, Hatton was not a lot better than an opponent like Starza...

Regarding Marquez...marquez was hand picked, he had been in some wars, he is a lot smaller than Floyd, easy pickings really..looks good on paper.

So for the sake of argument if we say that the hernadez victory and one more of your choice is BETTER for Mayweather would two wins really make for one guy fighting head and shoulders better comp than the other? And I would not even concede that point: Because we have Walcott and marciano beat charles twice.

I would say the point that evens them out is where marciano fought some of his guys who were past it, mayweather fought some of his guys "Conveniently" and neither guy fought an ATG in his prime and dominated...or even won.

Ok let's make this as simple as I possibly can.

No order;

Pacquaio
Corrales
Castillo
Cotto
Canelo
Hatton
De La Hoya
Mosley
Hernandez
Chavez
Marquez
Judah
Ortiz
Guerreo
Famaso

Now name me 15 of Marciano's wins.

Seriously, people, stop trying to argue Marciano as greater than Mayweather. Mayweather was greater than him long before 49-0. It's not even a debate.

Yeah...about a detail of De La Hoya's possible retirement in 2008.

Not Ezzard Charles being in his prime when Marciano fought him with is extremely common knowledge that he wasn't.

Floyd's 49-0>>>Marciano's 49-0

Marciano never fought 1/2 the level of fighter Floyd did its not even debatable when the best on Rockys record was 50 years old and shot to sht its a joke , Ali Frazier Foreman Norton all fought better opponents that Marciano .

Racking up 49 wins in 8 years, in the heavyweight division, is no easy feat. It took mayweather damn near 20 years to get to that point. I'd suggest surviving the grind of facing full sized men in that amount of time an impressive feat. Hypothetically speaking, it's hard to imagine most fighters could make it through that schedule. And while I can't prove that Floyd couldn't have done that either, the rock actually did do it. It's not as simple as, "well Floyd has a better resume." There's more to it than that.

Corrales--Ok win nothing great with Corrales
Castillo--He was given a gift desision. Castillo won!
Cotto--Decent fight
Canelo--A kid learning.
Hatton--Cheated him on the weight. Fought Hatton @147. Hatton best@ 140
De La Hoya--Good fight. So close. Ducked rematch everyone wanted to see.
Mosley--Please...Way past prime
Hernandez--Woo woo woo
Chavez--Past prime, jesus past prime
Marquez--LOL 3 division jump for JMM and cheated him at weigh in
Judah--***ing bum of bums
Ortiz--hahahaha
Guerreo--C calss fighter

WTF why not put Berto on this shlt list? Floyd had a few good fights. He fought NAMES not opponents in their prime on top of their game.

No, there's not. Floyd Mayweather beat a much, much higher level of competition than Marciano. His record and his fights proved he is a greater and better fighter.

Marciano's 49-0 is one of the most overblown and overrated things in boxing lore.
