    Would you even yourself call Marciano the most flawless? If not, quit yer whining!

    No, I would not call Marciano flawless, outside of that 49-0 record.

    Decent speed, cuts problems, and missing ten punchings to land a few hard ones are some big flaws. I just pointing that out.

    I agree that Marciano gets underrated by many. I've started appreciating him ever more over the years. But he should be kept out of a thread like this.

    As for the thread question, I still can't get past Duran.

    He's actually a better call than both SRR and SRL (and most others who have been mentioned here).

    SRR and SRL both made more tactical errors than Floyd.

    And technical. They were, on the other hand, a damn sight more exciting.

    You do notice he asked for flawless fighters, and you mention Dempsey and Duran?


    This justifies my calling you a ******.

    No, it doesn't, and if you continue to talk to people like that you will catch another ban.

    Barrera was pretty flawless. He was overwhelmed by physicality of course, but i dont think theres much that he did wrong
