...like floyd mayweather and Roy Jones...

Man, it would've been great to see them in there with the toughest competition.
Hell, mayweather and Jones probably would've both beaten most of the top guys anyway, but the point is they didn't fight half of the best available competition.

The best competition brings out the best in a man.

Marciano fought the best competition available to him.
