Boxing Classics. My Top 5 Fighters of the 1950’s.

This is my List of the Top 5 Fighters of the 1950’s.

1. Rocky Marciano. Heavyweight champion from 1952-1956 who retired undefeated at 49-0 and is the only one to do so.
2. Archie Moore. The greatest light heavyweight champion in history from December of 1952 until May of 1962, the longest reign ever.
3. Sugar Ray Robinson. Regarded as the best fighter ever ‘Pound for Pound’, won and lost the middleweight title 5 times during the decade of the 1950’s.
4. Floyd Patterson. Replaced Rocky Marciano as the heavyweight champ after his retirement and held the title until 1959, then won it back again.
5. Gene Fullmer. Defeated the great Sugar Ray Robinson to capture the middleweight crown, and after losing the rematch, fought him twice more, winning once and being held to a draw in the other.
