    Mayweather is 43-0, having success from 130 until 154. His best wins are G. Hernandez, Castillo, Corrales, Judah, DLH, Hatton, Mosley, Cotto.

    Marciano had a legendary 49-0. His heavyweight era was average. He beat old greats like Louis, Walcott, Charles and Walcott. His context was the 1950s, were fighters had much more bouts. 49 fights in 1955 isn't a long career.

    What record is more impressive?

    His resume is so thin that you had to say Walcott twice? Did you mean to put down Archie?

    Interesting question, I think both are on the same page on paper. I however would want to hear an opinion of a classic poster without bias, who knew both fighters well.

    Marciano easily has the more impressive resume.
