    Floyd outpoints him and liston stops him even back in 58/59/60. u might question that stoppage, but no, Marciano wont have the tank anymore, he loses by tko same way he beat up gasing old Louis.

    Appreciate the excellent post catchwtboxing. I understand that he earned his place on that pedestal, but it seems I have been reading alot of people saying he was unbeatable. I have been debating this with my friends lately as they all love Marciano mainly because he is white and Italian. :lol: Majority of them are not huge boxing enthusiast either.

    In my opinion Marciano didn't have much of a resume, any of you old timers please school me on this but I only see 2 or 3 big names that he beat.

    Thank you.

    He beat four ATG and a 5-6 top contenders. His record did not have Louis or Ali depth, but was prettysweet in my book, with a very good top ten.

    Walcottx2
    Moore
    Charlesx2
    Louis
    La Starzax2
    Layne
    Savold
    Matthews
    ****el
    Beshore

    He didn't leave much left on table, and Baker, Valdez, maybe Satterfield were plausible opponents.
