梅威瑟很清楚，星期六晚上击败麦格雷戈他将超越玛西亚诺49-0的纪录。
40岁的梅威瑟尊重玛西亚诺的成就和重量级传奇冠军在拳击历史上的地位，但不喜欢将他所做的事情与玛西亚诺的职业生涯进行比较。
玛西亚诺在一个简短但很有影响力的八年职业生涯中，创造了49胜0负43场KO对手的战绩。1955年9月在扬基体育场第九回合淘汰阿尔摩尔后七个月退休，31岁。在1969年8月，他46岁生日前的一天，在飞机失事中死亡，45岁。
梅威瑟在最近的一次电话会议上说；“我真的不太关注其他的拳手，但我很欣赏每一个为我铺平道路的斗士。我总是说我很欣赏那些传奇的拳手，尽管这是我的第50场战斗，但这并不是我的重点。
如果梅威瑟(49-0, 26 KOs) 击败麦格雷戈，他的战绩在美国出生的拳手中排名第二。排名第一的是威力.派普62胜0负，1943年3月在麦迪逊广场花园举行的10回合非冠军争夺中，通过一致的点数击败了Sammy Agnott。
墨西哥传奇人物老查韦兹拥有无败绩的现代拳击史上最高纪录，89胜0负1平，首场失利是在1994年1月以争议的点数败给弗兰基兰达尔。获得三个量级赛冠军的老查韦兹退役时职业生涯纪录为107胜6负2平M86场比赛KO对手获胜。
梅威瑟说；我的重点是带给拳迷一场令人兴奋的战斗，即使这是50场比赛，我们不断谈论洛基玛西亚诺。我只是希望让拳迷们知道，玛西亚诺是一个传说，他做了他的方式，你知道，我也想尝试做玛西亚诺的方式。”
Mayweather Not Focused on Surpassing Marciano's Mark of 49-0
By Keith Idec
Floyd Mayweather Jr. is well aware that beating Conor McGregor on Saturday night will help him surpass Rocky Marciano’s 49-0 record.
The undefeated five-division champion also respects Marciano’s accomplishments and the legendary heavyweight champion’s place in boxing history. The 40-year-old Mayweather just doesn’t like to compare what he has done to Marciano’s career.
Marciano went 49-0 and recorded 43 knockouts during a brief but impactful eight-year career.

The Brockton, Massachusetts, native was 31 when he retired, seven months after his ninth-round knockout of Archie Moore in September 1955 at Yankee Stadium. Marciano was 45 when died in a plane crash in August 1969, the day before his 46th birthday.
“I don’t really try to focus on other fighters,” Mayweather said during a recent conference call. “But I’m appreciative for every fighter that paved the way for me to be where I’m at. I always talk about I appreciate the legendary fighters. Even though this is No. 50, this is my 50th fight, that’s not really my focus.”
If the heavily favored Mayweather (49-0, 26 KOs) defeats McGregor in the UFC superstar’s boxing debut at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, the Grand Rapids, Michigan, native will move into second place among American-born boxers for the most wins to start a career without a loss. Famed featherweight champion Willie Pep was 62-0 when Sammy Agnott beat the Connecticut native by unanimous decision in a 10-round, non-title fight in March 1943 at Madison Square Garden.
Mexican legend Julio Cesar Chavez owns the overall modern-day boxing record for the most wins without a loss. Chavez was 89-0-1 when he lost for the first time as a pro – a split decision to Frankie Randall in January 1994.
Chavez, who won world titles in three weight classes, retired with a career record of 107-6-2 (86 KOs).
“My focus is to go out there and give the fans an exciting fight,” Mayweather said, “even though this is No. 50 and we’re constantly talking about Rocky Marciano. I just always like to let the fans and the people know, Rocky Marciano is a legend, Rocky Marciano did it his way and, you know, I just like to try to do it the Mayweather way.” |
