    I'm stepping in to call an end to the contest.

    @mark ant is in no position to continue.

    Mike Tyson lost about 11 rounds in over 130 under Rooney. Not sure what title fights would be he probably has a better ratio ?

    V. Klitchko is probably up there to , Lewis had a few close calls to name him.


    Current Joshua as a unified champion is set to have a bench mark as well only given up an average of 3 rounds per fight and against top opposition so far.

    Winning rounds per fight wasn't that easy against Wlad Klitschko either , Foreman only had 2 title defenses in the 70's and Ali.has not dominated every time he's lost several rounds at a time.

    Chavez maybe in lighter weight class as well as Mayweather ?

    Jones beat McCallum and Harding in the end pretty soundly though.

    Jones-Griffin 1 was close but Jones looked to be getting to him and pulling away by the time of the DQ. The rematch settled the matter emphatically.

    I doubt whether Jones lost more than 1-2 rounds in a fight after this until he met Tarver. Del Valle scored a knock down but was soundly beaten in every other round.

    Jones is well up there in this discussion.

    Jones was starting to pull away from memory. A bit like Loma-Linares, except that Jones got DQ:d.

    Look at the Loma-Linares scorecards again if you think he hasn't had close fights and so far he's not even had enough to really be compared with most former great champs. Mayweather had plenty hard fights, therefore RJJ as others mentioned for example is just a good an example as the two you mentioned.

    Neither is Lomo's and he's has a grand total of 13 pro fights. He shouldn't even be in the conversation with fighters that have more than 30-40 pro fights. The conversation about Lomo should be how unproven he is in relation to great past fighters,regardless of the championships . Beating a few old men and never were's doesn't a great fighter make (As Yoda probably would say) But I understand your agenda. I'm sure most great past fighters didn't lose a lot of rds until they were fighting much better competition, or on the slide. Lets wait and see with Lomo before you make him the GOAT.

    Don't like to compare fights for one belt with fights for a undisputed championship.

    Should have separate categories.

    This was a lopsided decision. I wonder if people bother to actually watch the fight or just go by Chuvalo's unconfirmed (as far as I know) story about Ali pissing blood after the fight.

    Ali took far more shots in that fight than any of his other title fights during his 60`s reign.

    Statistically Mayweather has the best hit and not hit stats to be recorded thus far.

    Nothing like it, Jones was landing hardly anything by the time of the knockdown, Loma was landing far more shots on Linares, Jones was very nervous of being countered by Griffin.

    Nah, not really. Would say that Mildenberger landed the most clean punches of anyone Ali had a title fight against in the 60's. Most of what Chuvalo landed was on Ali's hips and thighs. The ref permitted him to punch low so he did.

    But that is relative anyhow. The question was how dominant champions were and since Chuvalo won an average of two rounds on the judges' cards (which seems about right to me), it has to go down as a quite dominant performance. Ali outlanded Chuvalo by a wide margin in most rounds.

    So if you think that Ali's win over Chuvalo was his least dominant title fight in his 60's reign, you are actually making quite a case for that reign as one of the most dominant in boxing history.

    Griffin was outboxing Roy, when he pinned him on the ropes he started catching him, McCallum wa backing Roy up with the jab in the early rounds of that bout.
