Seriously... Kellerman I must say can (ironically) break down boxing history in comparisons with empirically analysis, yet how does he casually sum up Floyd's opposition compared to Chavez Sr.?

You ijit, listen to what he is saying. It's not just about Mayweather being 50-0, some fighters have done that, it's not an unique achievement. But Ill give the illiterate wanka credit, he did it against the best -
Calling him a casual in any regard is just plain ****** he will know more about the sport than the majority of us.
Just because someone doesn't like watching one style it doesn't make them a casual.Comment

Even a bad HBO/Showtime analyst probably knows more about boxing than anyone on here.Comment

87-0 with 43 cans in the beginning. Floyd had 90 amateur fights alone, that's where he fought some of his cans.
If you start Chavez Sr with his first decent opponent, I would say Adriano Arreola looks okay, all the way up to Terrance Ali that puts Chavez at still an excellent 48-0 before losing. But not quite Floyd status either, due to the lack of names.Comment

The media or marketing people can make anything be a thing. And 50-0 is one of those numbers that is a thing regardless of any boxing thing. Chavez being 100-0 was a thing at one point. I've seen plenty of boxers who've not kept a perfect record like those two did suggest they wanna get 40, 50 or 60 wins or x KO's or other kinds of random **** like that.
And officially I think the 49-0 thing is a 49-0-0 thing + being retired. Thus Floyd fighting, winning & retiring again would make him 50-0-0 & #1 in the perfect record department.
And the really interesting thing is 49-0-0 isn't really a thing cuz back in the day Rocky turned pro in Mar. 1947, he then went back to amateur boxing & lost a fight to Coley Wallace in Mar. 1948. And also a lil known fact but under todays rules Rocky woulda been 48-0-1 cuz the first Rolanda LaStarza fight was a draw on the 3 judges scorecards (5-4-1, 4-5-1 & 5-5), but back in 1950 there was a tiebreaker rule that gave Rocky the W.Comment
