By your rational we should have a heavyweight fighting RIGHT NOW who has beaten Marciano's record and it hasn't happened not yet and not in the forseeable future




And Rocky didn't just beat 49 fighters....he KO'd 43 of them!
You basically just wrote that post as if you didn't read a single word I just wrote. Did you read the post you responded to? I said Marciano's opposition, not Holmes opposition (and correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Marciano retire at the age of 32, and Holmes lost his first fight at the age of 36?). And please don't tell me you believe Valuev to be one of the dozen or so heavyweights that I'm talking about.
