    Masao Oba won his last 19 before he died and Les Darcy his last 22.

    The first name that popped into my mind was Les Darcy. Checking with boxrec, he won 22 in a row before dying suddenly.

    Is Les Darcy the answer?

    Yea I thought of Darcy myself, that's why I edited in his name. Here's what I have so far:

    24 Salvador Sanchez
    22 Les Darcy
    19 Masao Oba

    Yes OLD FOGEY and hh,it was the great australian Les Darcy,who died in 1917 at the tender age of twenty two...He was considered to be eventually the equal of Stanley Ketchel...But while in America seeking a title bout,Les Darcy died of blood poisoning from an infected tooth....He might have been our greatest middleweight if the grim reaper hadn't intervined...
