Do You Consider Chavez and Marciano Underrated or Overrated?

I would call them both overrated. Marciano and no offense since he is your fav fighter, but he did hit the division at a weak time in history when there was no one around. He also could have had that fight with Joe Louis way before Louis was a punch drunk old man, but no. He waited until Louis was done. But despite the fact that he was facing has beens in there late 30's he still had trouble with them. He was cut very badly in a fight against Ezzard Charles and nearly had the fight stopped before he rallied for a knockout. He also didn't even fight his first real opponent until 25-0. At that point in your career you shouldn't be fighting the guys he fought. These are there records, 16-1, 56-20, 23-6, 19-10. Are you kidding me, undefeated for 20 fights and you are fighting guys like that. Last but not least the greats held the title for years and years and re won it. Marciano held it for 3 years and then retired. His competition was lame and he retired barely having held the title. Yes, Marciano is highly overrated and would not have retired undefeated in any other era. Next, Chavez is somewhat overrated. I think he was a great champ and holds a few notable wins and held titles for years and all, but I wouldn't call him the greatest mexican boxer ever, to me that title will always belong to Salvador Sanchez. Here is a list of Marciano's opponents. a href="http://www.boxrec.com/list_bouts.php?human_id=9032&cat=boxer" rel="nofollow"http://www.boxrec.com/list_bouts.php?hum…/a
