    No, Floyd Mayweather cannot fail to best Rocky Marciano's record because Floyd has actually fought fighters with some talent in their primes.

    To put it in perspective, Canelo was on 42-0 streak at age 23. Yes Chavez Jr was a bad ass but Mexicans start pro younger and fight many sandlot quality opponents early. I'm not disrespecting him, as he's one of my favorite fighters. Just putting things in perspective.

    some people also feel Marciano should have a loss on his record.............
    that type of game can be played with almost any fighter.

    By your own reasoning Floyd does not belong in this discussion since his ZERO was taken by Castillo in their first fight.:deal
