I’m laying down the challenge. Which boxer has had the best 31 days in the sport.

I’m nominating Billy Soose who beat Ken Overlin and Tony Zale in the space of a month.

I know some of you guys can beat that.

not a month but...
Sugar Ray Robinson
1952-04-16 Rocky Graziano
1952-03-13 Bobo Olson

And not a perfect month...
1943-02-26 Jake LaMotta
1943-02-19 California Jackie Wilson
1943-02-05 Jake La Motta (Loss for Robinson)

Henry Armstrong - October 1942
10/13/42 - vs Juan Zurita
10/26/42 - vs Fritzie Zivic

How about for the year: 1938 he fought and won against Chalky Wright, Baby Arizmendi, Lew Feldman, Barney Ross, Lou Ambers, and Ceferino Garcia. He did a total of 14 fights that year.

Harry Greb July 1925
Wins over Micky Walker and Maxie Rosenbloom

Ted Kid Lewis has two wins and a draw with Jack Britton in one month.

That's a whole career for many boxers today.
