I agree that Tyson had the best short term run EVER...more intimidating than Ali even IMO. But it was a short run. I would have liked to have seen how his career played out without prison. But that is all "what if's"... Ali also had good run...much longer than Tyson. But he looked bad at the end of his career. That is why I said Rocky M. The only one with the facts/record to match the claim as GOAT (greatest of all time)

I know, it's a shame his life went downhill so fast, but as you said, facts are facts. You can debate all day but until someone beats his record I wouldn't even consider anyone else technically speaking.

Stats don't make GOATs, Rocky Marciano fought wimps and retired with only 49 fight under his belt because he was scarred of losing, Ali fought in the golden era of boxing and dominated (defeating great fighters like Foreman, Frazier, Norton, Chuvalo, Liston)...it's a tough call between Ali and Joe Louis but definitely not Marciano

I hate this argument... People say: Jim Brown is not the best RB ever because he did not play against the best (today's athletes) Wilt Chamberlain was not the best ever because he did not play against the best (MJ, Magic, etc.) Blah, Blah, Blah 1. You can only play against/fight who is available during your era 2. Of course the further along in history, the "better" the players/fighters are -they are bigger, faster, stronger, train longer, eat better, and take better care of their bodies than they did 10/25/50/100 years ago. -Back in the day players/fighters had "real" jobs, in addition to playing sports. 3. But if the older fighters/players were alive today, they would have all the advantages of today's athletes...they would still dominate. 4. You honestly think a fighter that went 49-0 retired because he was afraid...really...that is you argument. 5. He was the only great to retire and stay retired...he beat everyone of his day...knew when his time was over...and retired...that takes real courage. 6. Ali lost fights before, during, after his prime. -He did not even dominate everyone in his own era. 7. You are playing the "what if" game...what if Rocky had the same opponents as Ali...what if Tyson never goes to jail...what if Roy Jones Jr. doesn't get disqualified for his first loss and keeps his undefeated streak alive...what if, what if, what if -Base it on Stats...Rocky was the best ever of his particular era...He dominated his era like no one ever has...case closed

First i'm not saying that Marciano is not the best because he didn't fight against Ali or Tyson, he didn't fight nobody good except Joe Louis ( even he wasn't good then, he was 38 years old ) he retired with only 49 fights under his belt which is not much, second Ali never lost during his prime, his first loss came after 3 and half years outside the ring, thirdly no boxing critic, commentator or columnist ever named Marciano (nor Tyson) to be the greatest....they know better

When he came back in 1970 he was considerably slower, which means he wasn't in his prime anymore

Money Mayweather is undefeated at 39-0 (25 KO's). I don't know boxing at all but that statistic kinda speaks for itself.
