50-0 Mayweather carefully breaks historic Marciano record

As far as champions go GGG(37-0) and Ward(34-0) had a shot but they probably don't have the time left to win enough fights. Wilder is 31 and 38-0 but will likely lose to several before retiring.

Same with you and women.

Unless of course he chooses to fight again and loses. Marciano's 49-0 record is a big deal because he was a popular heavyweight who knew when to hang them up. i.e. quit undefeated. Nino Benvenuti was 65-0 before losing to Emile Griffith and JC Chavez was 87-0 - what if either had retired before their first loss would we have thought Chavez 37 fights better than Mayweather and Benvenuti 15 fights better? Of course not, it is a silly way to look at it.

Someone else will win more than 50 fights in a row (there have been more than a few; there will be more) and it will only become 'historic' if he then quits before losing. It seems being 'historic' is all in knowing when to quit.

Sorry that should have read Ki-Soo Kim for Benvenuti's loss.

Well it is. I mean how many do we have at this point? Lennox Lewis who has an asterisk on it. Joe Calzaghe maybe. People like Ottke don't count for obvious reasons.

Some Thai 115lb mfer will go 70 something & 0 & retire in the next 5-10 years & no one will talk about this perfect record stat, that mainly only white racists or black racists give a f#ck about, again thank you Satan.

That's not a loss, genius.

To finish a Hall of Fame worthy career undefeated and untied is quite an accomplishment.

Some unknown Thai fghter breaking the record against unremarkable opposition wouldn't really have the same gravitas, would it?

Roman Gonzalez had the best chance.
