    Unbeaten is overrated. As Tyson Fury said, he could easily go 100-0 fighting hand picked bums. Triumph over adversity makes a great fighter...a rivalry or nemesis makes a great fighter...judge the success of a champion by the size of their challengers, NOT having a clean slate.

      Greatest cherry-picker of all time, even a better cherry-picker than mayweather ever was.

        Silly talk. If there were better fighters than Marciano and Louis between 1935 and 1955, who were they? You can’t blame Louis for being so much better than everyone else that he faced little adversity.

              He was protected by the mob.... Sonny Liston would have destroyed him!

                    So TC hasn't proven anything, but he's your avi. I'm guessing you respect him as a fighter.

                    Yet, Rocky didn't prove anything and he's a bum.

                    I would think that just means you like TC and don't like Rocky.

                    Not much of an argument.

                      that's true, I highly regarded him as a good boxer. So what's your point? and we're talking about Marciano here, so stick with the topic. Like what you said, Rocky is a total garbage, a bum. marciano fought in one of the weakest eras in the heavyweight division the best men on his record walcot charles and Louis were all past there best louis was completely shot that wasn't rocky's fought but that is the facts it's the men u fight that make a fighter
