Marciano is the only heavyweight champion to retire with an undefeated record, though he is often omitted from the lists of the greatest of all time due to the realitivly low level of competition in the heavyweight division at that time...

First attested in English 1832, "heavyweight horseman," later "boxer or wrestler of a certain (given) weight" (1896), from earlier welter "heavyweight horseman or boxer" (1804), possibly from Old English welt (verb sap. form) "beat severely" (c.1400)
That was Joe Frazier in the first of their three fights on March 8, 1971 at Madison Square Garden for Frazier's heavyweight title.

I think "Counterpuncher", the style of Joe Louis, the best heavyweight boxer ever lived. Louis beat guys who used every other style (Max Baer, slugger / Jack Sharkey, swarmer / Jersey Joe Walcott, Out-Boxer). Fact is that Louis beat every famous and well-known heavyweight in his time, during his prime. Some say that boxing is like the child game "Rock-Paper-Scissors", every style beats another certain style, but is beaten by another one, who wins against the first mentioned. Sluggers beat swarmers, out-boxers beat sluggers and swarmers beat out-boxers. A good example are Muhammad Ali (out-boxer), George Foreman (slugger) and Joe Frazier (swarmer). Foreman beat Frazier, Ali beat Foreman and Frazier beat Ali. And the counterpuncher (also called boxer-puncher) beats every of these other styles.
