'My father’s record is a difficult record to achieve' -Marciano Jr.

It’s hard to win 49 straight fights without getting stopped at least once due to the number of big punchers in the division. But with the way that some heavyweights are matched in facing no real threats until they’ve accumulated 20 to 30 wins, it makes things easier to get to 49-0 nowadays compared to when Marciano fought.

“I suppose I would be more impressed. My father’s record is a difficult record to achieve in the heavyweight class…In boxing history we’ve seen lighter weight classes go deep before losses,”
