Mayweather vs Marciano: Who was Greater?

[Robbie Barrett]

We can take away the multiple title aspect

in 49 fights Mayweather is 23-0 in LINEAL TITLE FIGHTS!!!-thats just the lineal title now

is 12-0 against current or former lineal champions in 49 fights


Marciano in 49 fights is 6-0 in lineal title fights..now lets go deeper


in Floyds 49 fights 7 had .500 or less records or were making their debut

In Marcianos 49 fights 14 had .500 records or less or were making their pro debut

So how are we really judging this?

These are facts.........

You make 0 sense and seem to be biased as hell

You make 0 sense and seem to be biased as hell

You were trying to say that floyd is respectful cuz of one out of a million things he did lmao but the other 999,999 are not

It's not even a contest. OP should've made the poll public so the dumb voters are open to ridicule.

Those are opinions. We don't know if Canelo was affected anymore than usual, Mayweather told Marquez before and they agreed to fight so it's opinion if you think he was cheated, the IV wasn't illegal that's the fact but you got it wrong and said it was illegal.

Oh God you're really grasping at straws here aren't you?

1). Canelo was drained to a CATCHWEIGHT, the kid kills himself to even make 155 and had to hire doctors to go to 152 without passing out, why would Fraud request a catchweight if it has no effect? Did Rocky ever pull any catchweight BS like this? Answer me that.

2). Marquez was dragged up two divisions and Mayweather still came in over the weight limit. That gives him a huge advantage, are you slow dude? I'ma feel bad if you're down syndrome.

Fraud fans can spin this all you want, you can't change the facts buddy. Rocky never drained opponents to catch weights, he fought bigger men and knocked them OUT, nor did he take any banned IVs. ROCKY>>> FRAUD JR.

Go look up the definition of fact. You slow ****er.

This site is full of idiots that throw around words they don't understand.

How are you comparing Marciano-Louis to Mayweather-Pacquiao?? Floyd is older then Manny and Marciano was over 10 years younger then Joe..How do ya'll come up with this stuff?

Come on man Manny had already been KTFO multiple times and was 7 years past his prime. Floyd ducked him like a coward. "Yes I'm a rich coward" LMAO! Straight from your God's own mouth.

Marciano beating old Louis > anything Floyd has done. NAME ONE THING FLOYD DID THAT BEATS MARCIANO BEATING LEGENDS LIKE LOUIS, MOORE, CHARLES, ETC.

I also think respect comes into play here.

I like respectful fighters. If you compare post fight interviews from Rocky's day and many years before and after his day, the fighters more often than not were very respectful of each other and the fans in the postfight interviews. These days, respect is given here and there but there is nearly always an excuse. I hate to see this happening to the sport.

Rocky Marciano knocked out an aging Joe Louis, but he cried after he did it. He told Joe he was sorry in the locker room afterward. Joe said, "It's okay. I knocked out a lot of guys, too." Now, that is respect. Hell, it's beautiful.

To my knowledge, Mayweather never did anything close to this. I won't say he didn't give opponents respect. I'm sure he did at times, but never anything like that.

So call me bias, but that helps Marciano's case in this one. And a further point is that it helps any fighter who shows respect to be held in higher regard. Now, I realize I have Roberto Duran as my pic and I can already see the head shaking that could ensue. Duran used intimidation tactics against Leonard the first time around for sure. He also knocked Esteban Dejesus out at the weigh-in. Not very respectful. However, he did later on make amends with Leonard and they are now friends. He's friends with Tommy Hearns who knocked him out cold. And he embraced a dying Dejesus when Dejesus had AIDS and this was back in the 80s when many didn't know how the disease was even spread. That's a hell of a lot of respect there. Carlos Palomino also said he was very respectful to him as well.

Boxing can be a brutal sport, but it is a sport. These guys can hate each other and disrespect each other, but it tarnishes a reputation. Mayweather is not the worst by any means, but he talked a hell of a lot of trash and conducted himself poorly when it came to sportsmanship outside the ring. And that can easily sway a vote like this.

I was replying to this post

You were trying to say that floyd is respectful cuz of one out of a million things he did lmao but the other 999,999 are not

and pointed out to the above poster who said he cant remember Floyd doing anything respectful..He pointed out Marciano crying for beating Louis..hell Floyd paid Generos medical bill and for his funeral...

Yet he was 153 the fight a few months earlier for Trout...explain

and the same Jmm who was DRAGGED UP 2 DIVISIONS ko'd Manny 4 years later and even older

[elfag]

I really hope you're joking, Fraud Jr fought a one-armed shot post-ktfo Pacquiao, fought old shot Oscar, old shot Mosley, drained Canelo, and you wanna say he fought better opponents than Rocky????? You have the nerve to talk about "SHOT opponents"? HAHAHAHAHAHA.

Rocky never had to drain opponents, never had to do catchweights, never cheated with IVs, never ducked opponents for 5 years, Rocky fought all time greats and KNOCKED THEM OUT!!!!!

Marciano beat a 39 year old to win the title. He had a 10 year age advantage. I dont think Mayweather fought a 39 year old his entire career, except maybe mosley.
