Whenever you hear someone talk about who the Greatest fighters have been, Marciano's name always pops up, but it's never the first name out of someone's mouth.
The man was 49 and 0 with 43 KO's. He was the only undefeated champion, and he retired on top.

Now I'll admit I might have a little inferiority complex when it comes to boxing when most of the title holders are either latino or black, and that it makes me feel better when a white guy wins, but c'mon...
