Who faced the tougher assignment in their 49th bout- Mayweather or Marciano

49th opponent, Moore better than Berto by a country mile.

Opponents 1-49 as a whole, Mayweather better than Marciano by a country mile.

 

obsessed with skyping with other guys? LOL. Like I said the reason I asked you to skype is to show how much of a coward you are. It was obvious you'd back out. You made real life comments, but when I asked to see your apartment so we could estimate what you made you backed out since you make minimum wage, the fact that you look like you're a virgin with down syndrome probably played a huge factor too .

 

Refreshing interview.

"Duran knocks Chavez out, "CLAP" mosquito" :rofl

 

^^ This.

 

Marciano. However, despite Floyd not fighting the best throughout his whole career, I think the overall quality of his resume is better than Rocky Marciano's.

 

Moore was a legendary all-time great who had lost one fight in six years.

Berto is, well, not.

 

Archie Moore was an old man at the time he fought Marciano

That no defense having bum was only good at outslugging old washed up champs like Moore (see Louis, Ezzard Charles, etc)

Floyd on the other hand is facing a prime, strong YOUNG HUNGRY LION in Berto!

TBE FTW!

Archie Moore is someone I rank 11th or 12th all time P4P.

Marciano had a very interesting career. He fought a lot of nobodies for the majoirty of his career than took on some great fighters that were years past their prime, truly a shell of their former selves.

I wonder does anyone know Marciano's competition right before he took on a shot Joe Louis? This was around his 33rd to 38 th pro bout. Well it was a rhetorical question, here's the list of the murderer's row he fought leading into his fight with a very shot Joe Louis:

Kenee Simmons: record: 8 wins, 8 losses and 1 draw
Harold MItchell: record: 3 wins 13 losses and 3 draws
Art Henri: record: 11 wins 14 losses and 2 draws
Willis Applegate: record: 11 wins 14 losses and 2 draws

Right before taking on Joe Louis, he had a terrific matchup against a super HW stalwart by the name of Freddie Beshore who held an incredible record of 30 wins 13 losses and 1 draw.

So there you have it, the real reason why Rocky Marciano isn't considered even a top 5 HW ever. He did a great job of filling up his resume at the latter end of his career by taking on shot big name fighters.

YOu ever see Floyd go through a streak of 4 or 5 opponents that had THAT kind of record on them, even when he JUST turned professional?!? And those silly, unnecessary fights the rock was having happened around his 33rd pro fight. FLoyd was in his 4th weightclass with several lineal championships by his 33rd fight.

 

Floyd almost 40. Marciano was 32
