    Not all of them - i.e Finito Lopez.

    Finito had a draw.

    Has any other fighter make it past 49-0, won universal recognition as a world champion and retired with a perfect record intact?

    Problem is, a lot of people say Marciano fought in the weakest ever era of heavyweights and a lot of people also said his retirement was timed just as guys like Sonny Liston were on the scene.

    He doesn't get much credit for 49-0 due to these factors.

    I don't think Floyd will get much credit if he ties or breaks the record by fighting Manny, the filipino jeff lacy. That was a one sided fight. He should give Thurman, Matthysse or a someone who desrves a shot.

    50-0, in the mgm grand new arena inaugural fight, against his foremost nemesis - with a good injury storyline to play up. This is most likely in may 2016 (after he fights Khan in september)

    If no pac fight - a canelo rematch (after he defeats cotto for the lineal MW in sep/oct/nov) at 154.5 is also quite plausible as a big money ppv in mgm.

    I'd buy both these fights.

    Of course he will. His ego is his life.

    Yup. Floyd can't resist the legacy enhancement it would give nor the $_$ he'd get for the fight.
