Bill Goldberg.

Mike Tyson.

Fedor Emelianenko.

Unstoppable draws, huge marketing potential, one single loss and none of them ever had the same appeal again. Ever.

Now let's look at Rocky Marciano: fought in one of the weakest eras of boxing, his biggest opponent was a washed up cruiserweight, and yet every damn time someone brings up best ever someone has to say it's him because he's 49-0. Too dated? OK, ask Floyd Mayweather how valuable it is to have a goose egg in the loss column.

Still think a streak is still a streak after it's ended? Streaks are ONLY important if they are followed by a -0. If any number other than a zero is to the right of the streak, that streak doesn't mean squat. 22-0 is a chapter in the history of wrestling, 21-1 is a small blurb.

If it ends when he's hung up the boots forever, it's still marketable by the WWE. If it ends with his shoulders pinned to the mat, it's a promo on Raw and the occasional mention in conversation. I've laid out both historic context for my argument, and explained how future cash flows would be effected by the streak ending...and your rebuttal was to basically say: no that's not true because it goes against my position.
