two records will fall in the next couple of years....

Joe Louis reign is easier to beat, Wlad might not have 10 defenses left in him

 

Next Couple years? Mayweather will get to 50-0.

Wlad won't get another 10 defenses in 2 years. Regardless, I think the All-Time Title Defense record is greater than the 50-0 record.

 

Marciano's streak is one of the most meaningless records in sports. Right up there with Pacquiao's 8 belts or whatever it is.

 

Pretty sure Marciano's 49-0 streak isn't a universally recognized record, is it?

 

Lots of fighters have had better streaks. His record is just that he retired undefeated as a champ with more wins and no draws than anyone else.

I also like that Greb had Floyd's entire 45-0 career in one year while winning over 50 straight fights. SRR had a streak of 88-0-2 following his first loss (40-0 before that). Monzon went 62-0-9 to end his career.

Larry Holmes was 48-0, streak ended in 2 alleged robberies vs Spinks.

Finito was 51-0-1.

Pep was 62-0, then 72-0-1.

JCC was 89-0-1.

Wilde was 93-0-2 (possibly more).

Brian Nielsen, Jimmy Barry, and Hal Bagwell also deserve a mention.

So yeah, Floyd can go 50-0 all he wants, nobody who KSAB will care that much (unless he wins the middleweight title while doing it).

 

Marciano record has been smashed many times int he lower divisions- nearly doubled !!


Joe Louis defenses were of the full lineal ring title.

Wlads defenses of that same title began when he defeated Chagaev :deal

Or do we also give Louis credit for champ when he was merley contender ?

 

Since The Undertakers streak ended, there's no betting what streaks could end in the next few years.

 

Aren't you forgetting about Cesar Chavez getting to 87-0?

 

Wlad can easily beat the record.. Not that it's of a high priority to him. if he fights 2 more times this year, 3 times next year and so on he could in theory break the record before he turns 41.
