Rocky Marciano is my all-time favorite fighter. Probably because he's white, small, and undefeated(I'm no racist, I just like watching white boxers and basketball players succeed). Unfortunately I haven't seen any of his fights, just some highlights and read a book about him.
And yes, I do realize he is most likely not the greatest boxer of all-time, and Ali, Frazier, Foreman, Tyson(and others) would be favorites against him.

And he was good but he wasn't better than Joe Luis. When he beat Joe, Joe was old and washed up. I understand why your biased, HELL I want my black people succeeding, and becoming the best at what ever we do. But you should probably watch a fight or 2.

Tyson - epitome of excitment, unfortunatly outside ring as well
LL - denied his rightfull props for so long, I'm sucker for those who fight against establishment
Holyfield - man of iron chin and heart, to bad he seems like a crook under mask of christianity (nothing bad about religion though)
Toney - while he is vulgar and cocky you can't deny he's entertaining. Add fact that he often takes a role of underdog at HW and you gotta love him. That is if he had some damn training discipline (or a padlock on his fridge)
Corrales - humble guy with big puch and ever bigger balls
Mayoga - doesn't know meaning of word class, but boy does he bring it
(old-)Vargas, Gatti, Castillo - gutsy brawlers
DLH, Mosley, Tszyu - classy guys with pleanty of skill and talent
Honarable mention: Morrison, Bruno etc. - if you got a big punch and sub-par chin you ain't boring 
Unhonorable mention - Tito. All those groin shoots against Vargas REALLY pissed me off. Believe it or not but after all these years that's still first thing that comes to my mind when I hear Tito's name.

You read what I said and understood very clearly. So why don't you try not being a dick and maybe someone will take you seriously.  | |

But you are acting very knowledgable on a subject, Joe Louis' career, yet you don't even know how to spell his name. Kinda shows you don't know boxing history very well, just go by what you hear and not what you read.

I dont think how you spell a guys name really matters
