In my mind money actually bought the 50-0 record .This souldn't have been sanctioned.I see him as 49-0 .....fabulous record.

Why do you complain about Floyd when many fighters did it in the past but you ain't sayin nothing....? Hate or jealously?

As there are comments on Mayweather's record, there is no way he can be a true 50-0 when he lost to Castillo, had a debatable decision over De La Hoya, a fight that was so close vs Maidana and Pacquaio. Yes it's true, he was an excellent defensive boxer, but also true is that the numbers don't determine who the best fighter was. But Marciano, he was one of the greatest I'd say. Just an opinion.

Those fights were not close. The punches that Floyd threw must have been too fast for YOU to see & the punches that those opponents missed you probably counted. SMH....don't let yourself get brainwashed by jim lamply & stop listening to the media. Marciano overrated.

[Floyd is TBE]

I've heard most of Marciano's fights were fixed by the mob

I'm a Mayweather fan and I give him credit with this win, maybe with an asterisk, but I would give him credit because if he had lost, then nobody would have a problem with saying that he is 49-1. So I think *50-0 is fair. That's just in my opinion. But I think that this is the start of something new where there are kids right now who are going to train for both sports and one day there will be a pound 4 pound great in both sports. Current boxers and MMA fighters won't be able to because they trained too long at one sport, both there will be kids who will grow up doing both sports and will excel at it. No different than other 2 sport stars.

hmmm..... didn't see it that way

not convinced, but that is a damn good point right there

You can cry all you want about McGregor but the fact is Mayweather's resume ****'s all over Marciano's. His 50-0 is more deserving of recognition than Marciano's 49-0. Does beating a weak opponent mean more coming up than it does at the end of your career?

28 year old Marciano fought:

Keene Simmons - 8 8 1
Harold Mitchell - 4 14 3
Art Henri - 13 15 1
Willis Applegate - 11 14 2

For his 32nd, 33rd, 34th, 35th fights.

Is that better than a 40 year old past it Mayweather fighting McGregor?

exactly..... you nailed it !!

also, Marciano is not the best heavyweight..... proving that records do not count for much on face value

if Mayweather had lost to McGregor, and was 49-1..... he would still have a better record than Marciano
