Greatest Title Reign of All Time

I am posting in the general and classic with this out of curiousity to see more opinions

Criteria

1- Duration- how long was this guy champ for

2-Defenses- some can reign many yrs but at the same time sit on the belt dont defend it a lot or can have a **** load of defenses in a short span

3- Top contenders or rank of opponents considered- was the champ consistently facing his top challengers or was he facing like the 8th thru 15ht ranked guys

4- Unification- yes this really just fits modern boxing as for yrs there was 1 title or I guess for old timers the effort to fight the best and clear your weight, so like back then there was no unification but without mandatoris a guy could avoid Lamotta or Liston like the plague, ultimatley, did the champ unify and not duck the best guys avoiding divisional clarity

5- KO percentage during reign

6- Shut out decisions- KO percentage is bias to punchers but there are dominant decision fighting champs

7- Defenses in the other guys back yard, a risky venture for many champs, in recent memory would be Roman Karmazin vs Cory Spinks

8-Honors- like Ring mag end of the yr awards, records for your weight class, or hall of fame honors

so with this in mind what in your eyes is the greatest reign as a champion

 

good question.
I'll give some nominees
Joe Louis
Wladimir
Larry Holmes
Ali
Bernard Hopkins
Monzon
Calzaghe
Hagler

 

****ing Guillermo Jones!! Almost 3,5 years champ with only 2 defences... against **** opposition

 

I always place joe louis in this position.

Benny leonard, joe gans and roberto duran at lw deserve a mention.

Monzon at mw was fantastic as was hagler.

There are a whole host of top names providing people look into it in detail.

For me none beat joe louis.

 

Marvin Hagler.

And he beat Sugar Ray, by the way.

 

chavez jr

 

Eusebio Pedroza had quite a run.

 

All-time? Benny Leonard, it's not close.


From the modern era, I'd say Monzon probably.

 

Tyson's reign was one of the most dominating and impressive reigns ever.

 

Mike Spinks at LHW was impressive.

Monzon & Hagler at middle.

Duran at lightweight.

Louis at heavy would be my vote though.

Cuevas at welter was pretty good for how destructive he was.

 

RJJ from 160-heavyweight? Could have faced slightly better opposition but dominated pretty much every fight he had

 

Joe Louis and that who lost to Nonito. Narvaez beat Monzons record and is still undefeated at his weight division.

 

Finito at Straw.

Not saying it was the greatest, but still not too shabby. Beat all the top contenders of the division, unified, and most of the time destroyed his competition.

 

Gomez at 122lbs is another good shout.

Canto at 112lbs.

 

Wladimir?

Are you serious?
