Is Marciano...

Yes ,but you tried to made it look like he was eliminating all the ranked contenders just prior to fighting Marciano,whereas in fact he beat just one in the previous 3 years prior to his title challenge and just one after.

 

I never said you were a casual

 

So what? In Moore’s run, he beat Valdes twice, TWICE, and then Baker.

Also, Moore beat Valdes the SAME year he challenged Marciano, 1955…and Baker only the year before that. So it wasn’t the previous 3 years, lol. It was within the last calendar year. Maybe you need to go back and check the dates. Moore beat Valdez and Baker in a span of 14 months. Where did you get 3 years?

Moore was the undeniable number 1 man.

Baker wasn't ranked in that unbeaten run.

Huh? Baker was ranked in the END OF YEAR 1954 ratings by Ring Magazine, so he was ranked that same year EVEN AFTER he lost to Moore, in 1954. I am not looking at monthly ratings, but even if Baker fell out of the top five or 10 right BEFORR his loss to Moore, he obviously got reinserted back into it quickly after the loss. Either way, it’s a good scalp on Moore’s résumé.

Also, Bucceroni was rated number 3 after he lost to LaStarza, so that pours cold water on LaStarza losing to him and Bucceroni being a nobody, which someone in this thread claimed.
