    I was surprised with the talent of Rocky Marciano and i am reviewing my views about the greatest champion.

    Boxing record:-

    Total fights: 49
    Wins: 49
    Wins by KO: 43
    Losses: 0
    Draws: 0
    No contests: 0

    As his states shows that he never lost a single bout. He was simply unbeatable and also remain champion for long.

    What do you think who was greatest ever champion?

    Marciano has at least a couple disputed wins (as does everyone else). Marciano is not a heavyweight, he would be basically a smallish CW today. h2h absolutely not. Ali was probably the "greatest" HW,

    Sonny Liston would have beaten up Marciano. Marciano was tailor made for him.


    Joe Louis was the best imo. He was over the hill and done when he fought Marciano.

    On his day Lewis would have beaten all of the above though, and any other heavyweight in boxing history

    for some reason i didn't read the ¨hw¨ part of the title. On topic, H2H Wlad, Vitali and Lennox **** all over those fighters from the past those cruisers masquerading as HWs would get trashed by a skilled super hw
