The problem I have with Marciano is two of his biggest fights where against smaller light heavyweights that were past their best days. I need to see him against a prime heavyweight that was great or near great and that didnt happen in his era. I think he also belongs lower on the ATG heavyweight list as well. Marciano had a great story with a very sad ending but I have to be realistic here. I clearly do not see him comparing to Floyd as far as opposition which means ultimately, his record. Hands down, Floyd is the pick.
Who's 49-0 Is Better?

Floyd's 49-0 is better than any other 49-0 in the sport's history. Monzon, Marciano, Lopez, Calzaghe, Chavez, none of them fought the number of champions or top fighters as Mayweather did.
Sugar Ray's 128-1-2 was more impressive though IMO.
P4P All time:
1. Sugar Ray RobinsonComment

Mayweather's 49-0 is not a record. Marciano's was because he is the only heavyweight champion to retire undefeated (And as champ).Comment

Unlike Mayweather, Marciano was a real fighter who never needed gift decisions and home referees to protect him.Comment

Never got a point taken. so no.Comment
