What is the most impressive ever unbeaten run in boxing?

Yup very impressive.:good

 

Yep, exactly what I was thinking.

 

Chavez was 87-0 going into the Whitaker fight which ended in a draw, I think he lost to Frankie Randall 2 or 3 fights later.

Chavez also holds the record for the most consecutive bouts without a single `no contest`

I think JCC is 2nd as far as longest undefeated streaks go, cant remember who is 1st but they went something like 95-0 or something similar.

:good

 

Oscar De La Hoya's 31-0 or 33-0 (if u count Trinidad robbery)

anyway

21-0 in TITLE fights!!!

Jorge Paez
John John Molina
Miguel Angel Gonzalez
Rafael Ruelas
Jesse James Leija
Hector Camacho
Pernell Whitaker
Ike Quartey
Genaro Hernandez
Julio Cesar Chavez
Wilfredo Rivera
Oba Carr
Felix Trinidad

plus several B level fighters.

 

We're talking quality NOT quantity!!!

 

Henry Armstrong went 59-1-1 with 50 KO's over a 3 year span from '37-'40 in which he won the Featherweight, Lightweight, and Welterweight (defended 19 times) titles, including the 1937 campaign where he went 27-0-0 with 26 KO's.

Not to mention he should've won a piece of the MW title against Ceferino Garcia but was robbed with a draw in a bout he clearly won. Not that it was a legitimate world title fight though.

 

Julio Ceasar Chavez ATG and Sugar Ray Robinson GOAT.

Both have amazing runs. :good

 

Charlie Zelenoff's 0-0 streak.He never lost a fight during that time.

 

Yeah but this guy is a Gary Lockett hugger.

I don't have to say anymore.

 

Once and for all. Let's keep Rocky out of this! He fought bums and old men. Louis was 39. Walcott was 39, Moore was 41! Charles is the only one still near his primr a 33. Rocky never and I mean never beat any grreat HW or any other great fighter in their primes. Hell he struggled against Moore, Charles and Walcott.

 

Hell! why not Yori 'Boy' Campas he was 55-0 when he first lost to Tito in 1994. We're talking quqlity opposition here people not just record.

 

That is what I said. People are confused.

That is why my vote goes to ODLH of the last 15 years.

 

Charles was further past his prime than any of them outside of Louis. It's clear the only research you've done is a quick look at their age rather than the men's relative success around the time they faced Marciano.

Louis, since his comeback, had wins over top contenders Jimmy Bivins, Lee Savold, and Freddie Beshore prior to being ousted in 8 by Marciano. I'm not denying he was past his prime, but he wasn't the corpse everyone makes him out to be.

Archie Moore was, in general, the greatest fighter ever into his 40's, and the majority of his career success came in his late 30's after getting a late start into boxing in his mid 20's. He'd beaten the likes of Harold Johnson, Nino Valdes, and Bobo Olson in just his last 3 fights (we won't even go any deeper than that as I'd rather not completely blow your lid) prior to fighting Marciano and was considered right around his prime at the time, and just after fighting Marciano would go on to a record of 37(24)-3-2 with wins over Eddie Cotton, Yvon Durelle, Willie Besmanoff, Yolande Pompey, Bert Whitehurst, Tony Anthony, Charley Norkus, etc up to 7 years down the road until his retirement. He may not have been at the very peak of his powers against Marciano, but he wasn't far off, regardless of his age.

Jersey Joe was another who, like Moore, got a late start in boxing and bloomed late, and another who's best work came in his late 30's, where he was considered prime. He'd just come off two (one by KO) wins over Ezzard Charles (the same one you claim was near prime) prior to losing to Rock.

Hell, the only one (outside of Louis) you have a legitimate case for being significantly past his prime is Charles, and he's the only one you made no case for.

And you didn't even take into account Rock's second tier wins over the top contenders of the era in Roland LaStarza, Rex Layne, Kid Matthews, Lee Savold, Freddie Beshore, etc.

Conclusion: You have no idea what you're talking about.

 

Oscar's record is very impressive offhand it is the best.

 

Lamar Clark. Won his first fight on points then obviously decided he didnt like to work overtime. He stopped his next 42 opponents. 43 wins, 42 consecutive KOs.
