Rocky Marciano's 49-0

Marciano began his professional career in 1947 by beating Lee Epperson, and over the next eight years, he proceeded to defeat all 49 of his opponents -- 43 by knockout.

In doing so, Marciano became the first heavyweight to go undefeated throughout his entire career.

Marciano's record was challenged in 1985 by Larry Holmes, who got to 48-0 before losing to Michael Spinks. However, with today's crop of heavyweights being underwhelming, his mark seems likely to stand the test of time

better chance of a NBA team getting 73 wins than a pitcher getting 512, correct?
