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

Bunch of morons who think sports athletes don't get better with time. You can't compare 50's boxing to today, today is much more superior. They punched meat then they just walked into the ring and started bleeding, then they left and did it again 3 weeks later. Dudes today have strength and conditioning coaches, protein shakes, improved calisthenics, better technique. That era formed the basis for the future of boxing and should be respected, but to imply its fighters are better is ******ed. That's like saying sprinter Jesse Owens was better than Usain Bolt... foh

Booohooo don't say anything about my favourite fighter
Licking ass

you should have stopped at 7 posts because this one, #8, is one of the most ******ed things ever posted on NSB, which is impressive because the list of ******ed NSB posts is like the ATG list of boxers, is virtually impossible to crack the top 5.

You managed to do the impossible. Kudos.

You might be upset with him, but he is right though. Rocky cleaned out his division completely. Him doing what he did in 8 years was impressive, even more so considering that the Rock didn't start boxing until he was 21.

Jokes on you. You're the one chasing every Mayweather thread crying over spilled milk.. 48-0 IV and Medication right... licking ass is what you're doing. You should fix your ****** sig cuz its 49-0. Wouldn't want to be factually incorrect or anything...

There is no assumption at all coming from my part.

I didn't even name Arturo Gatti once in this thread nor did I list him in Floyd's list of wins.

How about just list me all the fighters Marciano fought who were ranked in the top 10? Or will you avoid the question?

I don't see how this comparison could even be faithfully made. Different era. Different sanctioning body politics. I don't even pretend to know about the politics in Marciano's time, but I do know a fair bit about today's.

For instance, several of Floyd's opponents were magically ranked right before they landed a Floyd shot. Guerrero comes to mind...and speaking of worthlessness of ranking altogether, A guy like Broner was magically ranked in the ring p4p list prior to his Maidana doomsday... back when they were touting Broner as being the next Floyd.

Rankings are, in all intents and purposes, just another tool of promoters in this day and age, and virtually useless in comparing eras that are so damn far apart. Same as all the alphabet titles of today's era. Tools to be used towards an end.

I always chuckle to myself a bit when some statistics warrior uses Ring rankings as a way to legitimize someone. The owners of Ring can, and have, put anyone in the rankings they want to that matches their particular financial interest.

Floyd's is better because over half that 49 came at the championship level. , Marciano only did I'd it for the last 7 fights, and then retired at age 31!

The bigger record here is 19 professional years in combat without a loss. That's INSANE. I can't think of any body who had that kind of a run .

Marcianos entire career was only 8 years to give perspective.

Guererro wasn't magically entered in the Top 10 before Floyd fougbt him he was entered for beating two Top 10 WW's one as quite a big under dog.

The Ring rankings have been the go-to rankings since forever, since I was a child an well before that. Maybe I am stuck In my my ways but that's always been the way.
