Frazier higher than Marciano ??
Marciano has one of the weakest resumes of all HW greats....a washed up louis, 39 yr old walcott, and washed up Moore. I give him the Charles wins as impressive. Then the only real name left is LaStarza. Their first fight is widely considered a dubious decision. Plus I just dont see Rock beating any of the other 9 guys except Frazier. 49-0 is impressive and great KO's help his legacy, but I just feel that he wouldn't have gone undefeated in some of the other eras.
i say the weakest resume has got 2b jack dempsey--yet he is a "great" as well. actually walcott was 37 when marciano beat him--however joe louis beat a 37 old braddock for the title as well-and walcott is a much better fighter than braddock. every great has gotten a "dubious" decision. louis had a bum of the month club--

i say louis and marciano's resumes are the same as far as opposition goes. would marciano b undefeated in every era....no of course not--but he fought when he fought and owned his era--no1 can take that away from him.

anyway -i like your post its openminded has good points without hating on marciano so CC
