    Is this a serious question?

    Rocky Marciano.

    He is the great white whale that many little Ahabs pursue obsesivley.

    Calzaghe and Lopez fought nobody. Mayweather's record is fairly weak. By default then it's Marciano.

    IMO Marciano had the biggest and most impressive wins of the lot, so I give him the edge.

    Rocky Marciano, without a doubt...in my opinion, too.

    Marciano. His 49-0 record is like Babe Ruth's record of 714 career home runs. Its a magic number in boxing.

    In order

    1.Marciano
    2.Lopez
    3.Floyd(although will change)
    4.Calzaghe

    The reason Lopez is two - strawweight will never be a category with big recognition, so for him to be undefeated for a very long time and have so many title defenses means something.

    Calzaghe, imo, I'd have at #2, because he is the GOAT Super Middleweight champion

    Marciano... He literally cleaned out the havyweight division and had no one else to face.
