Most padded record?

[Lenny Cravats]

I hadn't heard of this guy before, but just stumbled across him.

There's loads of Thai fighters that fight week in, week out and amass huge amounts of fights with incredible win %, but has anyone got this guy beat?

thomas patrick ward for unbeaten in 34 is very padded, though obviously there are dudes who've fought much worse

Maybe not in terms of quantity, but in terms of quality, this is the one that always stood out for me. Silvens was 23-0 with one decision before he somewhat stepped up his opposition. His opponents' records in his first 23 fights were 26-249 with 17 of those guys never having won a fight. I don't think he ever cracked the Boxrec top 300, which at 23-0 at heavyweight is pretty difficult to somehow not achieve.

Here he is against Tereshkin:

Also, a few more here:

Ricky Hatton pre Kostya.

Ricardo Moreno had an extremely padded record. Great KO percentage, but his opposition was about as bad as it gets.

The heavyweight division doesn't have as much of a problem as it used to with bottomfeeders with padded records. Some of the worst are...
Alexander Frank, 21-0-1, ranked #115 https://boxrec.com/en/box-pro/682283
Junlong Zhang, 19-0, ranked #204 https://boxrec.com/en/box-pro/634096

If you count the first 30 fights of anyone's career with at least that many fights, Canelo is #1 for padding his record. After that he made it well known to fight bliwn up has beens for another 10 fights.

He was also 20-0 by the time he was 18. Nobody has faced world level savages in the pro ranks at 17.

Lovejoy is the GOAT when it comes to record padding. not for quantity, but for sheer lack of quality.

[HomicideHenry]

Probably the most padded record I can remember in my lifetime was JD Chapman, or Faruq Saleem. Other than Butterbean anyways.

[gilgamesh]

You gotta throw Lamar Clark into this conversation.

He went from 42-0 with 41 KO's. To 43-3 with 42 KO's.

He has only 1 victory over an opponent with a Winning Record.

[gilgamesh]

Probably the most padded record I can remember in my lifetime was JD Chapman, or Faruq Saleem. Other than Butterbean anyways.

Didn't Saleem eventually get upset by a guy with like a 1-3 record or something?

Same thing happened with Bean I think.

If you keep fighting bums, eventually even one of those bums will beat you

Yes I remember reading it in KO MAGAZINE years ago because it was this guy with a record of four wins and five losses I think who knocked out Saleem. As for Butterbean I believe it was Mitch Rose that was the guy who stopped him, and I think Rose had like one win and nine losses something like that.

I read it in the back of one of my Ring Mag's back in the day too.

They used to have a monthly award that they'd hand out to the guy that pulled off that month's biggest upset. I think that's where it was handed out.

I don't even remember what they used to call that award.

It's always fun to see things like that happen in person though. At a live card in Michigan there was some kid who was 0-1-1 I wanna say up against a 5-0 arab kid, and the 0-1-1 kid won a narrow decision. I remember him jumping up in the air like he'd just Won the World TItle

It made me and Andrew happy for the guy. It was his little Rocky moment.

but what was rockys record when he faced apollo ,he wasnt a total bum , no way would mick have trained a journey man in a philly gym full of world champions

[gilgamesh]

I don't think the movie ever says what his record is. The Rocky video games do I think. We're going into an irrelevant rabbit hole here though

unbeaten in 34 fights and only ranked #50 in the world. at 33-0-1 never won higher than british title level. so many useless fights on his record

the only other guy in his division unbeaten in at least as many fights is ranked #1 for comparison

lol wilder beats him on that, jeeeeez there is so much trash there

canelo was only a teenager in his first 30 fights and still managed to beat a future world champ in miguel vasquez, and a couple fringe contenders. there are several guys who come up in these threads who've done worse
