[Imran Siddiqui]

Yep, there doesn't seem to be that many fights nowadays to be able to set such a record.

Rocky Marciano's record could easily fall. With all the crap heavyweights out there, boxing is primed to be dominated. Plus, the sport has no integrity. And 49 just doesn't seem like like that big a number.

I disagree about that. If a fighter gets to be at the top, nowadays they don't fight more than once a year it seems, and maybe it's even less often, so how is a fighter to compile that many wins?

And be undefeated?

Rice's record can be broken. Consider Torry Holt. He had 788 yards in his rookie year. Since then, he has had 9887 yards in seven years. He has only 12220 to go. If he stays at or nearly at the same level of production for another nine years, he can do it. It's not inconceivable.

If one out of Larry Fitzgerald, Torry Holt, or Chad Johnson ages gracefully like Rice, Tim Brown, or Marvin Harrison, there's a very good chance Rice's record gets broken.

Are you kidding, that record can be broken by 11 yards.

ACK!

Same with the 98-yd punt by Steve O'Neal in 1969.

however, off the same pitcher, Chan Ho, never will happen again.

I thought my boy Paul Horning's single-season NFL points record was unbreakable. Lasted 46 years.

His record for number of wins in a season is pretty unassailable, too.
