    He fought lighter guys who where well past their best or shot. I don't rate Rocky in any way shape or form.
    You are a damn FOOL! Rocky was outweighed by Joe Louis by about 40 pounds and he still destroyed Joe Louis, who is the greatest HW of all time. Marciano earned his 49-0 by knocking out bigger legends like Louis, Moore, Charles and Walcott. He ducked no one!

    Floyd used IVs, Catch weights, made opponents wear pillow gloves, waited for opponents to get old, and bought judges and referees to ensure his 49-0!

        All his victories were carefully orchestrated, meaning he fought guys after they got their ass beat or were at a disadvantage, i.e. dehydrated, catchweights, washed up fighters etc. Ex. Judah got ko'd by Kosta, Cotto tko/ruined by Margarito, Hernandez lost to Oscar, Pacquiao ko'd by Marquez, Mosley and Oscar were past-prime, Canelo/Corrales were weight drained, Marquez blown-up lightweight/massive weight disparity etc...

          Cant believe people really think beating a 39 year old for the championship and defending the title against smaller men or shot opponents is better than Mayweather dominating the sport at the highest levels for basically 16 years.
          Marciano never beat a 39 year old for the Championship.

          You have him confused with Tyson Fury.

              Without a doubt, Marciano was much greater.

              Unlike Floyd, he never needed home advantage for every fight. He never needed crooked judges (Mayweather-Castillo I, Mayweather-Maidana I) or crooked referees (Mayweather-Hatton, Mayweather-Maidana II).

              Marciano provided exciting KOs, in contrast to Floyd, who just runs out the clock for dull decision win.

              And Rocky was a man of stronger character, he never beat up women.
              homecourt advantage for every fight?? out of 49 fights not even half were in vegas..and how would he have a crooked judges in the Castillo fight?? he was not even a top draw then

                Floyd's resume is better than Marciano's. Without question.

                It hurts certain people to admit that but the truth is the truth.
