Floyd Mayweather and the unbeatables
PERHAPS the biggest controversy to emerge from in August of 2017 was that “Money”, while beating a debutant, officially overtook Rocky Marciano’s record for the most victories by a world champion retiring undefeated with a 100 per cent record.
Marciano clocked up 49 victories and the win over McGregor moved Floyd Mayweather to 50. While the farcical nature of Mayweather’s victory is not up for debate, it is difficult to argue that beating McGregor should not be counted as an official result. As Marciano’s wins over Lee Epperson, Jimmy Weeks and Gilbert Cardone – none of whom had won a fight – are included in Marciano’s record, then McGregor also has to be counted on Mayweather’s.

CHICAGO (WLS) Some of the biggest names in Illinois legal system, from both political parties, are urging Senate confirmation of President Biden s choice for U.S. Attorney General, Merrick Garland.
The Senate Judiciary Committee, chaired by Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Illinois), will open Garland s confirmation hearing on Monday.
Two letters to Durbin and Congressional leaders in support of Garland were signed by 61 former federal judges and more than 150 former Department of Justice officials from across the nation. The letters include ten prominent names from Illinois who have signed on in support of Garland. We are former federal judges, appointed by both Republican and Democratic Presidents, the notable ex-judges write. We believe, based upon Judge Garland s character, his impeccable judicial service, and his distinguished service to the United States as a federal prosecutor and senior Justice Department official, that he will be an outstanding Attorney General.
