    Sorry, gonna have to take that title then, because I'd have to suggest the pretty boy Floyd Mayweather. Far as I'm concerned he ticks all the boxes for me.

    He isn't full retired yet but if he does retire yes he has a very good case.

    We don't know if he is retired yet thats why i didn't mention him. He's only been retired since 2008 its a bit early to consider him a proper "retired fighter"

    Fair enough I suppose, but the same can be said about Calzaghe who inspired this thread. If the big money comes a-calling, I reckon both will come out of retirement.

    Ricardo Lopez was really great not question, but p4p Mayweather is easily better than him, won more belts in more weight categories, way better quality of opposition, faster, harder to hit, at 130 hit as hard.

    people are biased because of how time works, but Mayweather is probably the BEST undefeated fighter to retire then there is a honest arguement between Calzaghe and Lopez. Then Marciano.

    Who is the greatest undefeated fighter though has to be Marciano. Way more recognition, way larger legend. Mayweather if he comes back and beats Cotto and Pacquiao in huge fights then it might change in his favor because Marciano was only undefeated because he beat up old greats.

    Question Teath were do you rate Mayweather in pound for pound and how great he is i have him in the top 20 were do you place him just to ask i while admit i am not a fan of his and think Shane Molsey in prime would of beat him along with likes of Ray Leonard and Tommy Hearns but still he was achived alot and i while give credit to the man but were do you rate him also i dont think he is to boring now that i watch his earlier work was a way different fighter then the one i see today anyway.

    If marciano fought now the way he did back then he would be disqualified for using the less padded bladed area of his gloves like choppers.It would be cheating these days.

    Rocky Marciano is remebered because he was a good heavyweight and he was undefeated in a division that used to be the top division that and i hate to say this and dont take it the wrong way i am sure some of you while but he was white also which helped his case alot as well.
