Re: Boxers who avenged all their defeats
Can I include Lightweight Duran.
Avenged his only defeat to DeJesus twice.
The fact the circus up in weights went on so long and had so many good nights is a testament to how good he was.
Lightweight Duran is one of the best pound for pound fighters ever.

Re: Boxers who avenged all their defeats
Very Interesting. Done a little digging on it and seems that nearly all of his draws were against hometown fighters. I knew about the old newspaper decisions declared draws but didn't know in Monzons time a close fight was declared a draw in South America.BoxBuzz wrote: ↑12 Sep 2018, 12:21 I thought this was about fighters such as Monzon who avenged every defeat. By the way the draws he had are an interesting study. I'm not going to feed some of the goofy folks who think they were all coded "defeats" because you really need to know something about the culture of those venues at the time in order to put it into perspective. But for those who like to educate themselves it's worth the discovery process. And honestly, he may have well won every one of those, lost every one of those or they may have been genuine draws or any combination of those. That definitive info may remain subjective forever. But there is a history to those fights that have an interesting context.
If it's single avenges...I didn't see Duran Lawlor mentioned.

Ingemar Johansson beat every man he ever faced, although the Floyd Patterson defeats were after he had already beaten him.
