Mayweather vs Marciano: Who was Greater?

[Spoon23]

Biased is posting facts?

Hmmm, okay then, beating heavyweights who are bigger than you without any type of advantage isn't as impressive as the dude cherry picking the opponents, when to fight them and all the other countless damn cowardly things.

Roach once said something along the line of leave the rules to the higher authority sadly Floyd isn't as much of a sporting person he doesn't care about fair play or sporting integrity hence why he goes about fighting the way he does.

Sportsmanship that essence of an athlete. Sadly, Floyd doesn't have that. He doesn't play fair. Hence, all he has accomplished are watered down, therefore he can never reached true greatness as compared to the likes of Rocky.

Your comment comes across very emotional, it's the usual old thing you throw your come-back in the form of an insult but you don't give any proof to the claim.

Like someone else said Marciano was a heavyweight slugger, he fought all his challengers and he fought some of the hardest hitters about and each time he got into the fight he found a way to win with what limitations he had which you could call adversity...
SOMETHING Floyd on the contrary never had to deal with.

It's pretty obvious why Marciano is greater but I was simply proving that there are so many holes you could poke through Floyds entire career, we know Marciano is clean can we say the same about Floyd who has blatantly been found doing dodgy things?
"Money is power.. power corrupts; absolute power corrupts absolutely!

I'll go into it further since you've had a little temper tantrum


Different eras, different fighters, this doesn't mean that a fighter of a current era can't be greater than one of the past we take a look at Floyd actions in the media and his options of opponents all extremely questionable and also take into consideration that we're in an era where there are like 4 or 5 different world champions fighting so more doesn't = quality it's quantity over quality.

Good fighters lose when they're matched up to continually fight the best take a little look at the UFC just because someone has 3/4 losses it doesn't make them bad it just simply means they fought all challengers and when you're a champion that's what you're supposed to do!
Rocky fought in that era where ducking was not at the level that boxing currently is at, Floyd fights in an era where HE calls the shots, he calls the weight, the gloves, the ring advertisements, the drug testing, the opponent regardless of it being a mandatory FLOYD DOES WHAT FLOYD WANTS TO DO!

On another note being world champion from 1998 who cares, like I said multiple belts its easy to procure a belt nowadays If there were as many about back in the day when Marciano was about well Marciano would have had been a world champion a lot earlier in his career too.

Floyd does not have a better win than a past prime Joe Louis or Jersey Joe Walcott that and Floyd never woed the crowd like Marciano did, Marciano is loved Floyd is disliked and not even respected as a person or boxer, speaks volumes about his so called "all time greatness, TBE".

Spot on bud. Spot on. You just told LaceUp to unlace and leave the boxing ring before he embarrasses himself even more lmao

[Damn Wicked]

Comparing these guys is like comparing apples to oranges. If Floyd was a heavyweight he would be much slower and stronger. If Marciano was a welterweight he would be much faster and weaker. This pound 4 pound nonsense is sheer stupidity because big guys are naturally slower, stronger, cardiovascularly less durable (their punch output will be lower), and they have many other strengths and weaknesses in comparison to smaller guys. If Floyd was a heavyweight he would be torn apart by Marciano and if Marciano was a welterweight he would be beat up by Floyd.

I guess willie pep wasnt an all time great...lol

if you have a style preference cool but you obviously lack logic and common sense.

being exciting does not make you great, nor does struggling with past prime fighters like Joe Walcott

every elite fighter Marciano beat was past prime but you will say " what ATG did Mayweather beat in his prime?"

you're a hypocrite

keep fighting the good fight, we already know who most of you guys are with the gazillion alts


bro you are ******ed if you think marciano was more skilled or accomplished more than floyd

just admit you dont like him and dont give him any credit because of it

You said that. I didn't. That Makes you a dimwit boxing fan. Pep is an ATG in my book. The guy had it all. Offense, defensive skill and to top it all he never watered down his opponents. Never cherry picked. And fought his heart on his sleeves. Nothing compared to Floyd's cherry picking ways. Pls, dont mention Pep in the same breath as Floyd. That's an insult to Peps legacy. Pls don't even compare both. That's cringe worthy talk my friend. Pep fought to prove he's one of the best. Floyd fought to create the illusion his the best. Big difference lol


A true ATG never says,' health comes first', 'I'm TBE' and later on fights like a queer boxer who's father even calls him out for fighting queer. ATGs have no quit in their book, they fight like warriors. Floyd sadly is far from it.


When floyd's own father and trainer saw his son fight scared. You know something is up.

Floyd entire career in recent ten years have nearly ALL been some sort of pathetic match up because of Floyd.

Fight JMM, Floyd doesn't make weight
Fight Canelo catch weight
Fight Maidana even though he puts up a poll for fans to decide whon he should fight and Khan was the winner of that poll
Forces stupid stipulations into Maidana fight with unfair gloves etc
Forces Pacquiao to wait 6 years to fight him
Refuses Pacquiao getting pain killing jab for his shoulder meanwhile Floyd is using all the PED masking things Lance Armstrong was doing
Gets caught with an excessive amount of IV and used it illegally before the Pac fight likely to mask hs drug habit
Fight Dela Hoya coming off his worst run of form
Fights Cotto only after Pacquiao destroys him
Having words with referees to disallow inside fighting which is legal unlike elbowing, forearming and clinching

Essentially the only person he fought prime in recent years was Ricky Hatton and not many rate him that and the referee had Floyds back not allowing any inside action similar to the second Maidana fight.


Rocky had considerably less B.'S. in his career, Floyd is the bigger crook of the two if you consider Rocky of that nature that and Rocky fought against me dangerous guys.

Typical Fraud Jr fan, run out of ideas and arguments so you start crying and throwing insults. PATHETIC.

Face it kid your god Fraud Jr has been exposed as a catchweight overweight cherrry-picking sucker-punching IV-using glove-abusing self-admitted dirty COWARD!! HIS BEST WINS ARE TAINTED!!!

Is he a skilled fighter? Sure. Can he be compared to an all time great Heavyweight like Marciano who KO'ed the likes of Joe Louis and Archie Moore without catchweights and cheating? HELL NO!!

Marciano's wins > Fraud IV Jr's catchweight gift wins.

Only a floydit would deny this!!!!

Floyd has 49 fights with no losses, so you prepared to go through all 49 fights and convince us that these are all "fake" victories. The majority of his fights have been world titles fights against champions and you want to convince us that these are all false victories? You see how much of an idiot you are yet?

Never said "fake" victories you lying fool, i said Fraud Jr's victories were "tainted" by CATCHWEIGHTS, IVs, CHEATING, and CORRUPTION. Are you down syndrome and can't tell the difference? Everything has already been explained and proven.

It's over, your god fraud jr lost here.

Marciano beating legends like Louis, Moore, Jersie Joe Walcott >>>>>>> fraud Jr's catchweight career

L2read and learn boxing before you talk, fool.

[King Conan]

Floyd aint coming back!

[Prince Madison]

mayweather. he dominated the sport for decades, beating pretty much every top fighter around his weight along the way. absolutely schooled the 'fighter of the decade', his long time rival. Really what more do people want him to have done in his career, beat everyone there was to beat. although no doubt people will bring up names like paul williams and margarito, as if they were the ones to beat floyd lol

[Prince Madison]

you can pick holes in anyones CV, fact is mayweather was 49-0 fighting at the highest level and his CV stacks up well against anyones.

[The Overlord]

Clearly Rocky. Dude beat Joe Louis, Archie Moore, Ezzard Charles and Jersie Joe Walcott. The guys on Floyd's resume don't come close. The controversies with IVs and Catchweights also dampen Floyd's legacy, Rocky never had those.
