Every World Heavyweight Boxing CHAMPION (1885-2025)

Rocky Marciano. Damn. GOAT

[@MatthiaGryffine]

It would help once it gets to the 60s to show who was champion under which governing body

[@felipearmas9731]

Definitely needed.

[@robertfindley921]

I remember as a kid in the 60s and 70s boxing was on broadcast television. The fight was a big deal, like the Superbowl. We all watched, and it was the main topic of conversation the next day. Then HBO bought boxing and made it all pay-per-view. In the last 40 years I can count on one hand the number of matches I've seen, and they were all reruns. I have never heard of most of the champions since then. Now the NFL is going in the same direction with all these streaming services. Guess I'll start following curling or fencing.

[@benjaminwilliams6750]

Joe Lious had the best heavyweight record of all time ,he dominated the division for 12 good years😢

[@erik_not4prophet_morano172]

Marciano is gonna be hard to top. Undefeated in 49 fights with 43 KOs? Not the most wins, but 0 losses and a high ko ratio? How is his record not the best. Even so, some guys like Wilder and Seldon almost having a 100% ko ratio is gnarly! Big George murking 69 is awesome as well. This was a fun vid

[@MrManWithPlan]

@@erik_not4prophet_morano172 his records not the best because all his notable fights are with guys who were fossils. Jersey Joe was like 38. And he schooled Rocky the entire fight till the lucky 1 shot KO. Someone like big George Foreman who had 5 losses (2 robberies included) is much more impressive because he fought EVERYONE. He demolished the greats of 3 eras. 70’s 80’s and 90’s. Despite losing he’s still more impressive

[@chiarosuburekeni9325]

Marciano had really old and cherry picked opponents

[@ima831]

​@@MrManWithPlanLet's say Marciano fought with the best at his peak and has several defeats, wouldn't that be the same thing that happened to Ali or Foreman? Why is he underrated?

[@MrManWithPlan]

@@ima831 huh?

[@ima831]

@@MrManWithPlan In his second fight with Walcott he beat him in the first round. It's true that he didn't fight better guys in his prime, but he also had something against him: he was smaller than many of his rivals and he still beat them. Nowadays he wouldn't be considered a heavyweight, he could even fight two divisions below the heavyweight. while foreman or ali were bigger and heavier.

Marciano and Usyk best win record

[@MrManWithPlan]

Usyk is nowhere near as impressive as rocky. And rocky isn’t widely regarded as the greatest. While yes their win records are unbeaten someone like Ali, or foreman HAVE been beat but they’ve fought way better competition and have improved from the rough competition. Foreman took most of his losses in his 40’s and still reigned from 1994-97

[@gitss7367]

Marciano was small compared to later fighters. But the guy ruined a lot of fighters with his power, so many are described as "never the same" after fighting him. Classy guy too. I think if he fought in a later era his record wouldn't be perfect due to some of his injuries in the ring would have had the ref stop it. The one fight he won by ko a round or two after he basically had his nose split wide open

[@vestibulate]

As far as I'm concerned, Joe Frazier became champion the night he beat Ali in Madison Square Garden. Not before.

[@paulandhisguitars]

@vestibulate even then he fought an Ali that had spent 3 years out of the ring, 3 years in which he wasn't able to do the kind of training you'd need to do in an enforced layoff if you were intending to come back. He fought a version of Ali that wasn't anywhere near as light on his feet as the version that had been champion.

Francois Botha was briefly recognized as IBF champion in 1995, after George Foreman gave up that belt when he decisioned Axel Schultz. But he was later stripped of the title for failing a drug test, and the fight was ruled a NC.

@ none of the other ones but those matter. The IBO is a circus. The IBF is pathetic too. The WBA is blatantly corrupt. The WBC picks favorites by fame rather than skill. The WBO was insignificant but at least they don’t pick Timmy from state farm as your mandatory the way the IBF does
