        Marciano was a great fighter, just not really an all-time great fighter, IMO.

        The lack of good competition on his resume outshines the fact that he retired undefeated. Most of his opponents were C level fighters.

          hard to argue with that but can only beat those in front of you and only a handful remained on their feet.

            People either overrate him or way underrate him. He's a top 10 HW though.

              He came along at a slow time in the division, and TCB with no losses. Really nothing to hold against him.

              I think he is a definite ATG, and I think possibly underrated by many. He was a small heavy though.

                  Notice the word "most".

                    I noticed

                    "the lack of good opposition on his resume."

                    "Most" of just about anyone's resume is comprised of C level fighters or worse.
