    I read Virgil spouting some nonsense BS about "the powers that be" not wanting (basically a black American) to break or tie the record.

    Why would these mythical powers that be not have already "done the deed"? They could have easily done it in the Maidana fight and not many would have protested. Are people really this dumb and believe this nonsense?

    Virgil is an epic moron for even spouting it. It's not like Marciano's record of opponents is even highly regarded. FFS people are dumb.

    He wouldn't be breaking it tonight anyways, just equalizing it.

    I doubt it. Bhop and Virgil were both pretty serious when they said it.

    It's the exact same fight that others were reportedly "snuffed out".

    Well, Marciano wasn't 'Intended.' to make the record. He was an underdog in a lot of his fights. An 'Accident.' is one way of putting it. If you watch a fight like Castillo, and all of the special treatment, corruption, and terms since, unfortunately this was no accident, and was clearly intended to happen. Also, Floyd's level of professional athleticism and training techniques in the modern day is greater than Marciano's.

    Furthermore, he can very easily break the record by taking an easy challenge: morons will still pay to go see it.

    49-0 has been broken several times

    Mayweather's 49-0 is just a fake marketing scheme considering that 49-0 is a Heavyweight Record only.

    There have been multiple fighters reach and surpass 49-0 at weights under HW.

    This is Mayweather fooling his fanatics and casual, yet again.

    Unless you're heavyweight champion, 49-0 is simply a great record.

    Easy challenge? How about you look up the records of some of Marcianos opponents before talking about jokes.

    If Floyd equals or breaks Marciano's record it will mean nothing as Roman Gonzalez will go past 50-0 in the near future anyway. No one is beating El Chocolatito
