Trivia: I never ko'd any of the champs I beat.

During my career I scored a total of 15 wins against 10 different men, who today are all recognized as world champions by BoxRec.
All 15 wins were on points.

Who am I?

Edit clue: all wins before 1955.

Not a bad guess... but he only beat 7 champions.

Frankie Genaro?

Genaro has many wins over lots of champions, but one of them was on a DQ (against Emile Pladner)... so it can't be him.

Rosenbloom?

With only 19 ko wins in almost 300 fights, the feather-fisted Rosenbloom is of course another champ one would think might be the answer to such a question...
However, he actually beat 3 other champions inside the distance (Bob Godwin on a tko - and both Tiger Flowers and Ted Kid Lewis on a DQ) - so he can't be our guy.

Sven Ottke

I know he has an abnormally high level of points wins but wasn't sure if he hadn't stopped anyone or not.

What about Canzoneri?

He KO'd Mundine.

Canzoneri also beat several campions inside the distance - so no, not him.

Jake LaMotta?

Since LaMotta became world champion by stopping Marcel Cerdan, it can't be him.

Chris John hasn't ever stopped a world champion, but he hasn't fought 10 of them.

Hm, everyone's favourite back peddler, Gianfranco Rosi?

Indeed he did - so Rosi is not the one we're looking for.

Is this a trick question - A newspaper decision era type question? Or an amateur fighter who beat a load of future pro world title holders?

No, it's not a trick question!

We're talking about a pro career... and all 15 wins were "official" (with not a single newspaper decision among them).

With a DQ win over world champ Bronco McKarth, it can't be Wright.
