    Someone will definitely break it. Look at Broner, 3 weight champion without facing the top dog in any division.
    It wont be easy and it wont be anytime soon but it will happen.

    Chavez's 87-0. Obviously that's also the longest winning streak to start a career.

    :patsch whoops.

    There were no draws in there, correct?

    Edit: Looks like there were some No Decisions...not sure if that's equivalent to a draw.

    Oops there was one draw....but that's just one draw lol
    He actually won the ND's but they didn't count because he didn't knock them out.
    Ahh well it looks like I'm just making excuses for Jimmy.

    Agreed.

    Just look at Pacquiao's #8. And how his 122 and 140 titles were lineal titles and technically doesn't actually count here since they weren't world titles (obviously lineal is better, but still true nonetheless).

    Or Cotto's first three belts he ever won, all from vacancy (140 then twice at 147).

    Or how Kazuto Ioka is technically a 3 division champ, although arguably only a one division champ and realistically a 2 division champ.

    Jack Dempsey has that beat with Harry Wills... and then he never fought him.

    Yep.

    I have no problem thinking a fighter could win titles from 105-135. I would be surprised if that didn't happen.

    But he beat Manny your god easily like a sparring partner... that makes it worse. For a a bum like Mayweather beating Pac. That makes Pac rubbish.

    You really believe he would have made the WBC #1 rank inside 7 months after the Hughes fight and then gotten the mandatory against Stiverne and won? :blood
    Besides that overrating Huggie quite a bit, you know about boxing politics right?!

    Jimmy Wilde was undefeated in his first 103 fights.
    Archie Moore has 131 knockouts.
    Ray Robinson 44-13-1 against top ten contenders, although I believe Maxie Roosenbloom has even more than that.

    I actually wouldn't be surprised if someone broke Lamar Clark's 44 fight knockout streak. You do it the same way Clark, Briggs, and Wilder did it, line up a bunch of cans and knock them off.

    Tyson wasn't the youngest HW champion. Floyd Patterson was...
