Ali.
Many professionals could go undefeated against the right opponents. Marciano wanted to make a comeback against Johansson, but I think having Patterson regain the championship changed his mind about a comeback if you know what I mean. Statistics are commonly misinterpreted or used to lie.

The Brockton Blockbuster Rocky Marciano the man who refused to lose. He used to do 12 miles of roadwork a day and would run up hills to increase his leg strength and endurance. He had more punching power, durability, determination, and stamina than any fighter who ever stepped into the ring! Final record 49-0-0 43 KO's and Heavyweight Champion from 1952-56.

Muhammed Ali and Sugar Robinson. Its hard to decide between these two. But I think the most powerful boxer of all time was Mike Tyson.

Ali would win vs Marciano. He would have danced around Marciano jabin him and wearing him down plus his combos, and footwork; he was the best at grabbing and wearing down his opponante as well.
I think he would have won a decision.
Rememder Ali changed how Black, Whites, Latinos the way everybody boxed. He changed the game.
Just like Gretzky changed Hockey, Ali changed Boxing.
