    Marciano??

    Joe Walcott was 38 and 39y/o respectively in their 2 bouts.....

    Ezzard Charles was 33y/o, on a very saddened slope, losing 14 of his next 25 bouts..... Far from his best..

    Roland LaStarza was a journey man in the contect of H/W contenders...

    Don Cockell, a puffed up LH/W, had been belted by Randy Turpin just 3 years earlier..

    Archie Moore was 39y/o... the fact he faught Marciano, and went on to battle Floyd Patterson for the Vacant title is clear indication of the pitiful state of the H/W division in the early 50s.

    Fine, 49-0 (43) is impressive..... there are those who believe the Rock would walk into any H/W era.. personally, I do not.

    Ya rock was there to be hit, so in that context, id have tosay hed do well anytime in boxing before the mid-late sixties. Foreman wouldve busted him bad in early rounds. I would give him great chance vs frazier tho.

    Well it is when you try and show you have a lot of boxing knowledge by talking about Marciano and his unbeaten run and saying that Hatton will have a great unbeaten run once his career has finished, however you believe that once Hatton beats Pac-man (unlikely) he would go after timothy bradley???

    I mean that is obviously the biggest fight out there for hatton once he has taken care of the p4p number 1 :patsch

    I see your point, i was thinking that after he beats pacman, he may want to take care of a high ranked fighter @140 then maybe shoot up to ww again and take on someone there like cotto or floyd again.

    I have faith in my fighter that under floyds tuteledge he can make a great run, thats all

    Mike Tyson's was impressive despite coming in a relatively short time.

    Mind numbing that Monzon hasnt been mentioned. Probably speaks to the US-centrism here more than anything else.

    Hell, Ron Lyle started boxing at 29 and had 15 fights in his first 12 months as a pro. He won all of them, 13 by KO. He fought a total of 20 fights before he lost by decision to Jerry Quarry.
