Floyd/Wlad fail to break Marciano/Louis' records: MAKES SENSE!

[Britkid]

Those 2 charlatains could NEVER break The Brockton Blockbuster's or The Brown Bomber's records.

IT WAS DESTINY.

Marciano officially lost three times after turning pro.

Uhhhh........mmmmmm...........wtf??

I stand corrected, he lost twice. After turning pro in March 1947, beating Lee Epperson in three; he dropped a decision to Joe DeAngelis on August 23rd 1947 and then lost to Coley Wallace, again by decision, on March 1st 1948...

Thus as I wrote, Marciano after turning pro in March 1947, lost two decisions. I am no fan of Lil Floyd but unlike Marciano, the judges did not put a defeat on his record after he turned pro.

[Master]

Floyd will break the record next year even if it means a rematch with Berto! Floyd will do it for ego alone.
