Boxers who never lost or drew???

Post by nighttrain »

Hi,

Have there ever been any non-active boxers other than Marciano, Canalito, and Henry Pearce who won every one of their professional fights (no draws). (Marciano lost an amateur fight to Coley Wallace. Canalito, I think, either never fought as an amateur or never lost as an amateur. Please correct me if I'm wrong.)

I'd be grateful for your answsering with an email to: [email protected]

Many thanks.

Well since Joe Calzaghe has retired I suppose he qualifies.

Michael Loewe

Mayweather (but I guess he's no longer retired)

Pichit Sitbangprachan

(Mali: I thought Terry Marsh had a draw on his record.)

Since you mentioned Henry Pearce, I guess bare knucklers count. So, I'd add:

William "Nobby" Clark

Jim Dunne

Jacob and Tom Hyer

Tom Lyons

Young Dutch Sam

Hi,

Just came across this on WikiAnswers (
http://wiki.answers.com
http://wiki.answers.comQ/Who_was_the_on ... undefeated

Guess it answers the question. It includes boxers with ties, which I didn't want to include, but has many who won all their fights.

Some sources have Joe Coburn - Bare Knuckle Heavyweight Champion, BUT he was beaten twice during his career.

10. Ricky Womack - (1984-2001) (defeated Holyfield 3 times in the amateur) 13(6) - 0 (0) - 1


There even more, BUT I don't think I have the room to put them all in.

Rocky Marciano is to this date the only undefeated heavyweight champion.

I believe that Lee Canalito (Protege of Sly Stalone; 21-0 with 19 KO's) also won all his amateur bouts. I don't know of any others who did.

No jibe intended as Marsh still went through his whole career undefeated. I was actually at the fight in posh Bloomsbury in London in 1982 and Marsh, the "house" fighter, looked a bit fortunate to get the draw in only his second eight-rounder as a pro. Christie was fairly unknown but found himself some decent management and went on to win the British title, a title he thoroughly deserved. Both Marsh and Christie could fight.
