Rocky Marciano fought Joe Louis at Joe's end of his career (his last fight). It's just like saying Larry Holmes beat Muhammad Ali end of Ali's career. Same thing as Joe Calzaghe fought Roy Jones Jr. end of Roy's career. Fighting people that already past their prime consider waste of my time. Usually, younger fighters always beat old fighters; Well, except for Bernard Hopkins.

much as I hate to say it I think Tyson would have won unless Lennox boxed him from behind his fearsome jab and tied him up. Tyson was a freak combining speed, power, craft and precision all channelled to perfection - and he was menacing too. When he beat Tyrell Biggs he could have finished him in the 2-3rd round but he smiled to the camera and said Biggs was screaming like a girl when he landed hooks to the body and he was enjoying himself!!! And I  would have paid to see Lewis Vs Ridd**k Bowe - a real grudge match with Bowe losing by TKO in the later rounds.

i didn't know you said it ive just heard it before. Marciano would take a hell of a beating then knock his opponent out. he hit there arms until they couldn't hold them up anymore then he would go for there head. he was one tough son of a biaaaatch.

The reason why I said Rocky Marciano never fought anyone great because Bert Sugar (The Boxing Historian) said it himself.

yea its hard to be called a fighter when no one will fight you i guess?

just like what Big Country did to Kimbo Slice and everyone else in the ultimate fighter. who would of thought he could do that? it may sound rediculious that BUTTERBEAN could but he was really badazz.

That's true, but there's no reason to have four belts to be the real champion.

Not necessary. There are some weight divisions who doesn't have the ring mazagine. The ring mazagine is usually vacant. Now, there are real champions even though they don't have the ring mazagine. The top contenders or known as the best fighters in that division with WBC, WBO, WBA & IBF belts the real champs.

In the boxing industry, it's corrupted. There are too many belts. The main belt I know by far is ring mazagine. Like I said before, the ring mazagine shows that your the linear champion in that division. Since the ring mazagine isn't popular for some reason, they use alphabet belts to determine who the champion. It could be 4 champions in one division. Does that sound right? Not to me. Boxing needs to go back in their roots when there use to had one championship belt: Ring Mazagine.

The ring magazine is a red/white/blue belt which describes as the real champion. Basically whoever has the ring magazine belt is the linear champion. No matter how many alphabet belts you got such as WBC, WBO, IBF, WBA, etc, your not the real champion without the ring magazine belt. Other boxers have title belts for being a top fighter and make career high paychecks, but ring magazine is the truth belt which overcome all belts.
