The record is overhyped of recent because floyd just done it. I highly doubt boxers aim to break that record! Imagine if Chavez Sr just got to say 60-0 then just said i'm done, record broken. Or if Gonzalez decided to fight bums till he got to 50-0 then retired.

Yes Chavez Sr went 87-0 or whatever it was, but he did not retire. The record is, which of those fighters that retired with a PERFECT record, retired with the most wins? That is the record. JCC did not retire with the perfect record, Lopez did not retire with a perfect record.
Marciano 49-0 is retiring with a perfect record.
Mayweather 49-0 is retiring with a perfect record.
Calzaghe 46-0 is retiring with a perfect record.
That IS a record, a specific one, but it is a record. So stop the myth that "That's not a record, it has been broken". Yes, there's been fighters i'm sure with 100-200 fights that surpassed 49-0 undefeated, with the help of a padded record, but they did not retire so their record in this category is null.
In Baseball, Basketball, Football, there's a record for almost everything. Especially baseball, baseball has such specific records like, most home runs by a player against a certain team. It's a record, it doesn't mean that the player has the most home runs of all time. There's stats like, best post-season batting average. Records are not black and white, it's the same with this one. It's a specific record for those who retired with perfect records, who had the most wins from those perfect record holders.

Roman will break that record easy but it counts for little when you're not fighting in the dangerous division where one punch can change the game.
Not saying these smaller guys can't finish it with one punch its just nowhere near as likely to happen as it is in the heavyweights, Marcianos record wont ever be truly beat.
