There are no "the greatest" fighters in my opinion. Every one of the great boxers loss to what was considered lesser opponents. Rocky Marciano only finished undefeated because he fought mostly bums and past champions way past there prime. But i still like Rocky Marciano. I just wished he had proved himself more by fighting top ranked fighters in their prime.
He fought everyone who was anyone at the time. Thats all the man could have possibly done, he gave in to increasing pressure to give up boxing from familly etc. Lets not turn this thread into a Rocky hating one ey guys..........
