Boxing Records that will Never be Broken?

[Boxing Prospect]

I think any record which involves having hundreds of fights to break.. boxing won’t see those kinds of numbers again.

Only these Thai boxers who have the odd 4 round bouts every other week.. But even then.. Not going to reach 100.

Which boxer in the modern era nearly reached 100 pro fights?

James Toney hit 92

Sirimongkol Singwancha hit 100 bouts last year

[Ruthless-RKO]

Humberto Soto is on 83

Yory Boy Campas has over 100 fights.

Campas has over 100 wins, and he may well be the last boxer to achieve that feat given that the top names have fewer fights each year...

I had to Google this, but someone called Len Wickwar compiled a record of 339-86-42, for a total of 467 fights.

Wow! I don't think anyone could get a license to do that anymore.

There are lots of currently active fighters that have competed in far more than a hundred bouts, which include the likes of:

Kevin McCauley, Ibrar Riyaz, William Warburton, Mazen Girke, Jevgenijs Andrejevs, Fonz Alexander, Lewis van Poetsch etc.

I could easily find more examples.

By my own admission though, I’m shocked to see so many fighters compete so regularly.

I didn’t mean journeyman. There are plenty with over 100 fights. I meant world class boxers.

[margaret thatcher]

Burns also challenged for his HW title by 163 pound Jack O Brian, what is that, a welterweight today? Johnson fought a lot of tiny 'heavyweights'

[Woldemar]

Record Saensak Muangsorin and Vasily Lomachenko.

I don't see who takes belt in 2th professional fight.

I think this one is doable, may see it in the lowest classes where they often fight for titles earlier anyway. I think inevitably some amateur star will have the right backing to get a cherry pick to break it

Hyun Mi Choi won a WBA World title on debut
Been 8 (I think) men who have tried to do the same, one (Joves de la Puz I think) did lose avery close 15 decision to Satoshi Shingaki in an IBF title fight...
... So I think a fella will break the 3 fight record, Loma wasn't far off remember

[Verdi]

Peter Buckley had 300

Well you did mention Thais fighting in 4 rounders, so I didn't realise you meant world level.

For world level fighters, who will be on a decent sum per fight and fighting 12 rounders, I doubt any will ever get to 100 fights.

The Longest professional boxing match in history went 110 Rounds and Lasted over 7 Hours. On April 6, 1893, Andy Bowen and Jack Burke fought the longest gloved boxing match in history at the Olympic Club in New Orleans, Louisiana.

Exactly how will that be broken?

Like the Thai Strawweight, he fights a few times a year. 2 world title defences and the odd coupld of 4 rounders against debutants.

[hawaiianpunch]

In “recent” times, Buck Smith and Jorge Castro had a lot of fights.

[Ross]

Has Len Wickwar been mentioned yet?

Most bouts ever I believe but cannot remember the number

[Nile4000]

Henry Armstrong 3 titles simultaneously.

[gilgamesh]

Henry Armstrong 3 titles simultaneously.

Especially 3 TRUE Championships. Not 3 Paper belts

[Nile4000]

Indeed. One of the tragedies of today's boxing.

It is the corruption around the sport that is hurting it. Also, people do forgot that sport is more like UFC with all big time promotors how sometimes do crossover shows for a big pile of money. Just look if the heavyweights will changed that with having loads of talent and yeah, AJ is the biggest name in Europe and Fury is and have made an impact with smashing Wilder(hope he refocus himself soon) in Americas.

Do love how some belts get stuck among some promotors. Still thou, needs to get ride of the meaningless belts like the you know, super silver-bs. Not saying that boxer are to blame for the clusterf+ck, since it started in the 60s and by the 90s we had like 3 major and some minor. And now we have 4 major who have some extra trinkets for ratings and sh*t that has waterdown the org ratings.

Might be a toxic rant but, f*cking hate the orgs.

Also, Armstrong wasn't normal in anyway. And it does feel like one of those impossible records. Jumping around thou in weights ain't healthy right? So yeah, he did win the FW belt jump to WW then down to LW. But didn't defend his belt at FW after he won his last One. For reasons. Would have killed him. Still not normal and crazy with a winning smilie.

Corruption has always been a part of boxing. Not sure what your UFC point was, they just put on cards that are better.

You are right about Armstrong. And there definitely is a lot of corruption around boxing. But Arum and King are getting older(understatement), so a tiny bit of hope.

[gilgamesh]

Don King doesn't really have any relevance in Boxing anymore. If he even still promotes anybody it's news to me.

Last person I heard of him promoting was some Middleweight prospect that kinda fell off fairly quick. He's still active I think, but I'm pretty sure King doesn't have anything to do with his promotion now

Amir Imam, that's the guy.
