Wilder has 38-0 record and if he stays there a few more years fighting soccer holigans and pastry chiefs he may break Rocky Marcianos 49-0 record. Thoughts?
No one would care. Has one of the worst fight records of any active champion. 1 decent win and thats it.
This is a critical year for Wilder. It's imperative he takes on another champion at some point this year and attempts to start unifying the division. He needs to target the winner of Wlad-Joshua or Parker-Fury (if that fight materializes,) once/if he gets past Washington.
What I wonder is would people see Marciano's record in the same light, if Wilder got 50-0 by faking injuries and fighting low ranked fighters, then he just retired.
Marciano was 42-0 when he won THE World Title. He won 11 fights against recognized top 10 fighters at the time of the fight. He won an additional 4 fights against men who had been rated top 10 at most two years prior. Of his six title defenses, 5 were against his #1 contender. Wilder is 38-0. He has won 1 fight against a recognized top 10 fighter at the time of the fight He has won 1 fight against a man who had been rated top 10 at most two years prior. Maricano at 38-0. Had won 3 fights against recognized top 10 fighters at the time of the fight, (including RING#1 Joe Louis) Had won 4 fights against men who had been rated top 10 at most two years prior.
