Comments Thread For: Marciano's Son: Mayweather's Record Should Have an Asterisk!

[Pigeons]

If you think about it, if Mayweather had fought one more guy back when he had 3 or 4 fights who was turning pro, he would have a 50-0 record before the Conor fight.

Yep. Some guys fight 44 bums before stepping up (JCC Jr.) while other guys fight 1 bum before stepping up (Lomachenko).

Holding this record is entirely dependent on how long a fighter remains at that prospect level where they fight overmatched opposition. Once a fighter reaches that championship level they start fighting 2 times a year and it becomes really hard to reach a high number of wins.

Ideally you turn pro early (18) and then spend the first 3-4 years getting 30-40 gimme fights under your belt. That way you can be 22 years old and 40-0. Then fight for 20 years averaging 2.5 fights per year and you can finish 90-0 at the age of 42.

Yeah, the way I see it, Floyd added it on the end of his career, as opposed to the beginning, and in my opinion, and in the record books, he retires 50-0 and has set the world record.

I never claim to be a world champ but unlike 99% these pu$$ys on this forum INCLUDING YOU I actually have stepped in a ring. Next time you quote me it better be to spar b!tch and idgf what weight class your in I guarantee I'll leave you with life long injuries.

[puga]

true but floyd's the greater fighter anyways

[KillaCamNZ]

Geez, really? Rocky wasn't exactly facing a murderers row of fighters the whole time.

[mrjoeblive]

Your daddy fought a lot of bums junior.... Take it down a notch...

Good post his daddy literally fought a few doormen. He's not mentioning that fact is he.

[McNulty]

Whole lotta salt for no real reason

Thekid didn't even know his Dad. Rocky died when he was 1 year old.

[therealpugilist]

.....look at who his dad fought.....30+ fights in fighting club fighters until title shot

[PunchyPotorff]

The boxing establishment back in Marciano's day considered him a just a step above a crude no defense having club fighter with a big punch. Oh, and did I mention that he elected to retire than face Sonny Liston? Liston would have torn Marciano a new *******..

SOME boxing fans back then considered him what you described, but certainly not all, by a long shot. The guy was extremely popular in his day, and if you'd watch his fights, most times he did show show good boxing talent. As for the Liston story, first I heard it, but will do some research. As for how it would've turned out, they both had good boxing instincts, and both were murderous punchers. It could've gone either way.
