Great topic.
Salvador Sanchez beating three HOF’ers in Wilfredo Gomez, Azuma Nelson and Danny Lopez plus the like of Laporte by the age of 23 is another.
Great choice.
What a fighter!

JC Chavez getting to 89-0-1 (although a dodgy glossed over dq loss and that horrendous draw with Whittaker) in the modern age is some going.
Nobody mentioned Archie Moore's 186 wins with 132 KOs?
I thought that Archie had 141 knockout wins

That is a number that seems different wherever you look. Have seen anywhere between 129-148.
