Rocky Marciano and Floyd Mayweather ~ 'Don't Put Them In The Same Sentence'

[beenKOed]

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.

There is no way I'm going to say a single word against Chavez Sr or Ricardo Lopez, they were both amazing fighters and deserve our respect, in my opinion.

I agree (although best fighter of all time? I don't think so).

I just think people need to get away from looking at just the numbers.

It's like when Tyrone Brunson broke the 1st round KO record... nobody cares or probably even remembers it because he did it against bums.
