    Yeah, whenever I watch documentaries or see pictures of segregation times in the US its almost hard fir me to comprehend. I would like to see a separate washroom for characters like Denilson.

    I bet you would...but remember...you wouldn't be allowed to drink from the white fountain.

    I don't understand what Marciano record people are talking about. Finito Lopez retired at 51-0. JCC went to 89-0 before losing. What record does Marciano have except for a HW record?

    Prime P4P Floyd doesn't even get touched in this fight.

    Easy Work!

    Chavez was a hell of fighter, maybe the best ever, but his record was not unblemished, he did lose. 115fights 107wins 6losses 2draws
    Lopez is in the same boat, he had a draw. 52fights 51wins 1draw
    Marciano was 49fights 49wins.
    Floyd will be 50-0 if he wins 49 and 50.
    Are we splitting hairs here? No, we're looking at records.
    All Marciano has is an unblemished record. Fact! As Fenster would say. I'm hoping Floyd can say the same thing at the end of 50. Squeaky clean, I love unblemished!
    Come on Floyd, you can do it! All the rest of all y'all naysayers can duck off. Oops! I'm going to let it stand cause I feel gooooood! Real gooooood!

    Undefeated records don't mean sh*t unless accompanied by quality of opposition, preferably outside the friendly confines of your own backyard. JCC's record is a prime example. You can't put too much stock in his being 89-0 before his first loss (making him seem like Superman) on account of his first 45 fights being against nobodies in Sinaloa, Mexico. Beyond that, he begins to fight credible opponents and ventures outside of Mexico.
