Boxing records that won’t be beat

[Foggy]

Just a few to start the ball rolling;-

Wilfred Benitez- youngest ever world champ

Mike Tyson - youngest heavyweight champ

[m1kee50]

Rafael Lovera - percentage of fights which were world title fights

[jameswilson]

Percentage of fights lost by KO.


Also Rafael Lovera.....

[dookus]

Len Wickwar - most recorded pro fights

Nipper Pat Daly - youngest pro

[orbtastic]

Archie Moore, 132 knockouts.

Most bouts, Len Wickwar ~467

Longest unbeaten streak - Jimmy Wilde, 103 bouts

I don't know who has the most world title wins or knockouts? I would guess someone like JCC Snr is probably near the top for world title wins?

[orbtastic]

Joe Louis 26 heavyweight world title defences.

[KiwiRider]

Manny many division champ.
Also he has a tank

[orbtastic]

Henry Armstrong, 3 weight champ at the same time, unlucky not to win the middleweight title at the same time.

[coghaugen11]

Chris Eubank SR’s 20 consecutive world title fights in 4 years and 4 months.

[coghaugen11]

Henry Armstrong, 3 weight champ at the same time, unlucky not to win the middleweight title at the same time.

When there were only eight divisions total and one belt per division.

Equiv of someone today holding all four titles in five different classes all at once.

How old was Holyfield when he fought Valuev? Must have been close ?

[bigjack]

Coopers 3 lonsdale belts

[My Name Is Earl]

Arnold Sheppard...most disqualifications in history (18)

Valuev....Heaviest and tallest, which could be beat to be fair, but no way will there be a hairier
HW champion.

Nel Tarleton....Triple British Featherweight Champion..... All achieved with one lung. Not a record but something that'll never happen again

Thanks to a controversial decision.

Yes I know but still didn't get the win oficially

[littlepug]

Henry Coopers 3 Lonsdale belts, Jake Matlala shortest world champion

[dookus]

Fitzsimmons - HW champ at 165lbs (I've gone full Coggy for Ruby Robert tonight)

[margaret thatcher]

tommy burns 5'7 heavyweight champ

[Boxing Prospect]

Rafael Lovera - percentage of fights which were world title fights

Might not be beat, but he's certainly not holding that record solo, there's a few others who have done the same. Arturo Mayan for example (suspect he'll never be beaten for "Shortest career of a world title challenger") Joves De La Puz is another and Joko Arthur...

Hyun MI Choi, fewest fights to win a world title (tie able but not beatable)

[dookus]

Beatable, but: Luis Santana - only man to win and defend a world title by DQ.

Also Ken Norton - only world champion never to win a world title fight

[gregregegg]

Rafael Lovera - percentage of fights which were world title fights

What percent was that? Surely loma is close..

[margaret thatcher]

100 percent

[margaret thatcher]

although with some of those 0-1 challengers, you wonder if there's an incomplete record
