In truth, it is Zarate but magazines have to appease their readership and are generally written by illiterate no-nothings.
If by "greater" one means more famous then I suppose I'd have to agree Marciano is greater. Other than that I have Zarate for both.
But the ring mag rated Zarate above Marciano on this list, are you talking about other editions of magazines that you`ve read?
Hahaha. Another one that has gone completely over your head. Mark, don't take every single thing literally. It is as though you process ever bit of information in binary code. You would be a con man's dream.
