Comments Thread For: Virgil Hunter To Critics: Mayweather Deserves '50' For Last Win!

[Reloaded]

Why would you compare Rocky's 1st opponents to Floyd's 50th? Wouldn't it make more sense to compare Rocky's 1st opponents to Floyd's 1st opponents, and then compare Rocky's 50th to Floyd's 50th? Lol...?

Or am I just, you know, talking crazzzyyyy here with my basic common sense? Then again, I don't think Virgil cares about making sense at this point, I think he just cares about making headlines. Best to ignore this, just like with his boxer, until actual best-vs-best fights, and entertainment for the fans, becomes more of a priority for them, rather than defending money grabs while turning down every single opponent in their own careers that doesn't represent a money grab where they get paid way more money than their boring, dirty boxing style brings in.

He didn't he compared 3 with losing records after 35-0, don't hang on a word grasp all he is saying.

Whoever says that it doesn't count, is ridiculess. Needs to be ridiculed, because it's just super weird to have that opinion.

I'm so tired of this nonsense. 49-0 is a HW record, so Wilder is closet to it at the moment. The most wins in a row without a defeat for a non-HW is 80/81-0. These guys are trying to re-write history, and the current generation of boxing fans are fanboys and sheep.

He didnt retire 80-0, thats the point. Its not the longest winning streak, but the best record. No one is rewriting history

[DuckAdonis]

I dont think he should get 50 - 0 for adding the mcgregor circus any boxer would of beaten mcgregor. Yes i am a Mayweather fan but it was a circus and never serious.

I bet McGregor could've beaten some of Marciano's opponents with losing records if they were the same size

[ruedboy]

No doubt it's a sanctioned fight and it goes down as win #50 but it's hard to argue that it adds to Floyd's rep, except as a guy took the easy way out.

Sometimes too much is made of unbeaten records. Calzaghe was 49-0, Chavez had well over 70 fights before being defeated. Does anyone really believe Calzaghe would beat a prime Roy Jones jr? Who really thinks Mayweather could beat Thomas Hearns or 'Sugar' Ray Leonard? Nobody really.

Lots of people. Both are good fights.

I'm not going to go back and forth with you and this fanboy nonsense. It just takes one of these little midget weight fighters like roman running around with 40-0+ records to cherry pick to 53-0 or something and retirement. then, we'll be playing - fmw had a better competition at 50-0 than so and so at 53-0. 49-0 IS A DAMN HEAVYWEIGHT RECORD. I'M NOT GOING TO PLAY WITH THESE SOCIAL MEDIA REVISIONIST.

Can you name a champion who retired undefeated and untied, with more than 50 wins? At heavyweight or any other division?

If not then it's a record that applies to all weight classes.

WTF is this? 'Deserve' has nothing to do with it - yeah sure it was a money grab, a circus show - whatever you want to call it, it was still a licensed boxing match given the go-ahead and overseen the NSAC. It doesn't matter that it was debutante vs arguably the greatest boxer of his generation - you can't just pretend it didn't happen. And TBH I've a feeling McGregor would compare quite favourably to some of the stevedores and construction workers that pad out the records of many 'old time' ATGs that are so beloved by many of our historians. So ... yeah. Bull**** fight, but the idea that it can just be ignored is silly.

We not gonna count Mcgreggor but we going to count all these guys with loosing records for Marciano?

1951-04-30 Willis Applegate 11 14 2
1951-03-26 Art Henri 13 15 1
1951-03-20 Harold Mitchell 4 14 3
1951-01-29 Keene Simmons 8 8 1
1950-11-13 Ted Lowry 66 57 10
1950-12-18 Bill Wilson 43 11 2
1950-11-13 Ted Lowry 66 57 10
1950-09-18 Johnny Shkor 30 18 2

This is an 8 fight streak where Marciano only fought 1 guy with a winning record. This started when Marciano was 28-0 and 27 years old. This took him to one year before his win of the heavyweight title. Mayweather was already a multidivision multi lineal world champion at the same time in his career. The same time period took Mayweather through his first fights at 140 up to 147 before his lineal unification there.

I think its safe to say DeMarcus Corley is a better opponent than a factory worker who is 8-8-1.

Mayweather cant get one give me fight? People dont know how atrocious marciano's record was.

lol calzaghe didnt have 49 fights you tard. "most people dont know **** about boxing" is very true. You are talking a lot but its obvious you werent even watching boxing 10 years ago when calzaghe was fighting or you would know this.


Mayweather has very good chances vs both Hearns and SRL and that is saying something that he started 4 weight classes below them.
