[Cutman Scabbers]

Too hard!

Can we start out with some easier ones?

[Tony1244]

Boxrec says Jack Britton has one KO stoppage when he was age 20. This is out of 153 fights!

Either way, amazing !

These questions are way above my pay grade.

[Ambling Alp II]

I will take a stab at 2nd most consecutive calendar years with at least one fight. Is it Archie Moore?

[Bundana]

That's not a bad guess Alp!

Moore had 29 straight years (1935-1963)... which actually makes him 3rd on the list. There's just one man, with 30 consecutive years, between him and Azteca.


To Tony: Jack Britton had a total of 345 recorded pro bouts, and was only ko'd in his 3rd fight... which was then followed by 342 fight, where he wasn't ko'd a single time! Possibly the most amazing record in all of boxing, and one that of course will never be beaten.

Duran has a huge long career streak but I think he misses a year or two in the 80s?

[Ambling Alp II]

Yeah, Duran did not have that many consecutive.

Doubt this is right, but I will take a stab at champions who fought each other the most.
Jack Dillion and Battling Levinsky fought each other at least 8 times. Johnny Dundee and Benny Leonard fought each other at least 8 times as well.

[Tomasino]

The Buckley stat is incredible since he was an English journeyman being fed to prospects week in week out.

Dillon and Levinsky actually fought 10 times - which isn't enough for 2nd place on the list, though. But you are very close. VERY close!

[Bundana]

The Buckley stat is incredible since he was an English journeyman being fed to prospects week in week out.

Yes, quite amazing! And after a non-winning streak of 88 fights, he ends his career with a win in his 300th and final bout. I like that!

By the way, the answer to this question lies hidden in the record of another English Journeyman.

Dillon and Chip ?

Dillon and Chip ?

Yep, you got it!
