50-0 Mayweather carefully breaks historic Marciano record

[Eff Pandas]

Menayothin got to 48 over the weekend http://boxrec.com/en/boxer/383177

I think he'll get beyond 50-0, but I think he's too young & likely looking to get paid more from boxing to retire so he'll likely lose to someone with his activity & time likely left in the game. I suppose he is the odds on favorite right now to be the 70-0ish guy doe who'll quiet this Rocky & Floyd sh^t doe.

I hope some Thai supremist alt account pops up when he does lol.

Will anyone be able to beat Mayweather's historic 50-0 record?

I dont see anyone touching it for decades.

Yes, it will be broken cuz promoters will have their fighters take the easy matches for as long as they can to beat the mark to push an agenda using Floyd's name behind it to get more $ views $

The record will be broken, but whoever does it will not earn nearly as much money. There will not be another "smoke and mirrors" PPV star who dupes the casuals into believing his hyped up C-rate opponents will be competitive. There won't be any more $200M guaranteed SHO or HBO contracts that allow you to cherry-pick your own opponents. Promoters will no longer be able to sell fights that showcase a prime elite versus an elite who is long past their prime or not there yet. Fans will no longer be duped into waiting 5+ years for a fight that gets made well past it's expiration date.

The 50-0 is a number that means something to casual fans. Somehow, undefeated translates to unbeatable in the minds of the fans who know little to nothing about the sport itself. Eventually someone will surpass that record, it's been done before...JCC won over 80 fights before suffering his first loss. Whoever breaks the record will need to do so in the glamour divisions and do it while defeating prime elites if they want to stand out as a worthy successor.

Right now, Terrance Crawford, Deontay Wilder and Mikey Garcia all have the potential to break 50-0, but they will need to orchestrate their careers in such a way that they can leverage an advantage against their opponents the way Floyd did, be it weight, age, skill level, or home field advatnage, etc. There is also the subject of PED use, which Floyd is suspect, regardless of what his hardcore fans have to say.

Soon enough boxing will be able to wash away the stink that Mayweather left behind. Hopefully the Canelo/GGG fight will be a move in that direction.

I'm telling you this dude has some real issues.

Today's records are carefully crafted. In the future they can be crafted even more carefully.

In yesteryear boxing fans were not at all concerned with record breaking. They wanted face breaking, so that is what they got. Today's puny fan is impressed by every record mentioned, even if the category is a new made up one.

Mayweather saw a loudmouth who cannot box begging him to break a record and earn a couple of hundred million dollars. Even Marciano might have been tempted out of retirement to face an opponent who had never fought in a pair of shoes before.

Mayweather's ledger is heavily crafted. That is one reason I have never respected him as an ATG. He has millions of fans who mainly adore his punkism because they are brainless punks themselves. They do not follow boxing, except for record breaking fights, and believe they have seen it all in their idol.

What I saw in their idol was him facing the scrub likes of Baldomir for a trinket at the neglect of men with far more scary reputations. If you really want to be that statue outside the hall of fame, then you take on scary opponents when they are still considered scary. You do not wait seven years for Pacquiao to fade before you consent to fight him, if you want to be that statue. This same delaying tactic is plainly evident in many of his so called biggest wins.

The only Hall of Fame he will be the outside statue for is one he decides to build with his own money. He had the necessary tools. That does not matter. You also have to proceed down the line like TBE if you want to be thought of as that by aficionados.

Because it was another dead encounter, people will soon forget it and stop talking about it. It is no impediment at all to interest in GGG/Canelo, as it turns out.

As for McGregor, he shot off his lips and could not back it up. Even in winning the first three rounds (which he obviously did, despite the scores of judges intent on protecting boxing from an invader), MGregor was unimpressive and a fraud, in my opinion, who should now be hounded out if Ireland.

SMH....Your full of s**t. Go look at the tapes of all the previous fighters & follow their WHOLE CAREER & opponents, they don't rank up to Floyd. Floyd is The Best Ever.

People are putting way too much emphasis on 50-0 and Marciano, if this fight hadn't presented itself Mayweather would of still been happily retired at 49-0, its the media making it a thing. He's had a great career whether you consider it to be a 50th win or not.
