That's a **** list, you trollin'?
1.) Rocky Marciano - greatest record in boxing history. Many men have tried, many men had weak eras, there is only one Rock. from 686BC to now there is only one man who ever went 49-0 in the HW division. In that time frame your excuses fall apart. Champion, Former-champion, Former-former champion, British champion, LHW champion, Euro champion, the prospect who invented rope-a-dope later used by Ali had his elbows broken, the prospect Ring picked for next HW when Nat was still picking himself got ktfo, the prospect from the west with a 55+ win streak, stopped. Nothing comes close to the shear dominance of Marciano. Also, his 925ft-lbs punch is a marvel of human ability.
2.) Bob Fitzsimmons - Retired more men than anyone else in the history of the HW division. The only MW to win the HW crown twice, beat a who's-who of his era. Defeated and ended the original p4p champion or boxing then moved on to KO not only the champ at HW but the champ in pretense as well. The Cornish Killer Ruby Robert is among the greatest to ever lace them up.
3.) Jim Jeffries - Drew with two of the best HW of his era by his 6th and 7th fights. Took out the former color champion Peter Jackson in his 9th, Stomped the pretense champion's ass in his 11th fight, whooped the colored champion in his next fight, then, moved on to defeat the champion in his 13th, one more for the pretense champ in his 14th, and the former champion in his 16th. Retired unbeaten and only ever lost years after his prime to a prime Jack Johnson.
4.) Gene Tunney - Cleared the division, only ever took one loss and handed it back.
5.) John L Sullivan - went 38-0 before his first draw, let me just explain, in boxing history we have ten unbeaten HW champions. 4 from the ancient era, 5 from bareknuckle, and Rocky for the modern. Of those five unbeaten HW champions in bare knuckle combined they don't even have 20 fight to boast. 38-0 is very impressive for a bare knuckle era fighter. His "Grand Tour" proved his dominance over the sport. His dominances was so great p4p was made up to juxtapose next to him.
Sullivan woulda beat Nielsen's ass.
Ruiz gets a lesson from Tunney
Vitali gets stopped by Jeffries
Marciano makes short work of Fury
Wlad was made for making Bob look like a superhero.
