Who was the last champion that participated in 20 title defenses, and had 50 knockout

I dunno', but I think you'd have to fight in a pretty weak era to be able to account for those kind of stats ;-)

 

Julio Cesar Chavez comes to mind.

 

Monzon? Can't remember off the top of my head if that's correct or not though :good

 

Jones Jr, Hopkins, Calzaghe, Mayweather all had 20 world championship wins+

 

Holmes?

 

BTW 1 of those 49 1 was a DQ a few corner retirements and about 25 were absolute cans

 

Julio Cesar Chavez had both, like Bukkake stated. He had 86 KO's and 30 Title defenses, if I counted right.

WBC super featherweight title 9 times (9-0), WBA World lightweight title 2 times (2-0) and the WBA World lightweight title 19 times (17-2). Plus he had other Title bouts where he was the challenger.

 

JOE LOUIS - 25 "Most Successful Consecutive Title Defences"
That was a world championship not an alphabet soup title or titles
like WBC, WBA, and IBO or whatever group wants to cobble together
another fresh set of letters to pump out a new wave of champions
Will we ever get another real world heavyweight champion or just more paper tigers?

 

i believe Monzon had 14 consecutive title defences.:hi::bbb:happy

 

They don't seem to make em like that anymore!

 

Louis held the NBA (now WBA) and NYSAC (merged into newly formed WBC) heavyweight titles. Those were the two titles you needed to hold to be considered world or undisputed champion.

Muhammad probably would've broke that record if he wasn't wrongfully stripped and exiled for three years. He still has 19 defenses over two reigns, with a three year layoff between the prime ages of 25-28.

 

If you count the prestigious WBO belt that is. Held by such luminaries as Herbie Hide and Michael Bentt who were no doubt credible heavyweight champions.
