Rocky Marciano: 49 - 0

No, Walcott's. I mentioned it because it seemed like the previous poster was insinuating Rocky's wins were all mob backed. The fact was, organized crime was backing both sides.
only rumor I ever read about the mob involved in some sort of fix was the Moore fight, I forget which book it was, think it was the Nick Tosches book on Sonny Liston. Hardly a pervasive theory, He apparently hung out or met mob figures at different points but according to an SI article, he wasn't ever really involved with them and the mobsters would tell all their underlings not to get him involved in any dirty business. The Italians were properly proud of him.
