    Rocky Marciano is considered the greatest undefeated fighter

    Fair enough. If Gennady Golovkin calls out Floyd Mayweather Jr to fight him at 160lbs after he destroys Rosado, we can quite rightly condemn Pretty Boy Floyd as being a shameless ducker.

    Why was Floyd Mayweather calling out a fighter two divisions below him in the first place? You understand what the term "ducker" means, right?

    We shouldn't rate him in this regard until he is retired, but if we are, then:

    1. Mayweather
    2. Lopez
    3. Marciano
    4. Calzaghe

    I think it's quite clearly too. A better debate would be if it is the greatest undefeated streak to start a career.

    Doesn't PBF get this kind of unfair treatment on the daily? Why are you so surprised. :rofl

    "Unfair" being the operative word, MVC.

    Retired in '84. Came back in '87.

    Longer inactivity stretch than Mayweather has ever had. Almost double.

    Care to address my post, MVC? Why is it "unfair treatment" to label Floyd Mayweather Jr a ducker for refusing to answer the calls of Middleweights but when Marco Antonio Barrera doesn't care to fight someone two divisions above him he's a ducker? I'm confused. Help me out here, bro.

    Because Floyd is a natural 147 pounder? Actually SR even said he can fight 140 and shouldn't be fighting anywhere near 154.

    AND MAB could have moved out, chose not to answer the call of Mayweather.

    He's pissed because you made a completely unfair and uncalled for reference to his favourite fighter MVC.He's perfectly entitled to call you on it and he made no derogatory comment whatsoever about Floyd.
    If you read closely you'll see that.
    I can never enjoy your bigging of Floyd because you feel a need to keep referring to SRL,Marquez and MAB in a derogatory fashion.
    Leave them out of it and I'll be happy to play along.
