Boxing ten year champions.

[SNG]

Name all of boxings champions who held their title or various titles for ten years or more, I think there is 7 but I'm prepared to be wrong.

[giacomino]

If you are including alphabet belts as a "champions," Omar Narvaez held belts in two divisions over 12 years.

[SNG]

One I didn't have but he qualifies as he never lost his title. One of the others lost trying for a title in a higher division like him but kept hold of his lower weight class title too.

Main 3/4 belts?

I think there's only 3 that qualify as 10 years or more. A couple come in just shy of ten years.

[SNG]

I was going off just the main four.

Joe Louis
Johnny Kilblane
Bernard Hopkins

Ricardo Lopez (9 years, 8 months)
Archie Moore (9 years, 2 months)

[SNG]

Didn't have Johnny Kilblane, I have Moore and Lopez though, Lopez was 11 years wasn't he? I had Calzaghe too, Azumah Nelson and Julio Cesar Chavez. Joe Louis too.

Forgot about joe.

Lopez was a world champ for thst period but he jumped weights so I don't really count it as a ten year reign as he moved up. Same as JCC.

It's an amazing achievement and they remained unbeaten and faced great comp but I guess it's the difference between unbeaten and ten year reigns. Splitting hairs.

[JC]

Calzaghe held his WBO belt for just over 10 years

[Nile4000]

Joe Louis
Johnny Kilblane
Bernard Hopkins

Ricardo Lopez (9 years, 8 months)
Archie Moore (9 years, 2 months)

Joe was a definite all-time great, but the war may have helped him out a bit.

[Leonid]

Chris John reigned for at least 9y 6m, if you don't count Interim title (w interim 10y 3m).
Wlad should be the next one with a little over 1 year to go.
