I could point out severel things wrong with this. But let me pick one: Marciano.
How is Marciano with 6 title defenses more accomplished than a guy with 24 title defenses? Or more accomplished than Holyfield or Tyson?
It's not like Marciano's overall resume (aside from title defenses) is better either.
It's again this romanticization of the old days, where a guy gets favored just because he's from an older era, hence looked at as a greater "legend". It's absolute unrealistic nonsense, but certain people are too ignorant to smarten up and let it go.
Greatness is not always determined by resume. It is perfectly possible for a champion with 24 title defenses to get sparked by another Boxer of similar caliber.
