    Henry Armstrong went on a 46 (might have been 45) fight winning streak from 1937 to 1939. Started with the likes of Mike Belloise, Rodolfo Casanova and Frankie Klick, and ended up with him winning the welterweight title and beating the likes of Barney Ross, Lou Ambers, Chalky Wright, Ceferino Garcia and Baby Arizmendi.

    Duran went undefeated from 73 to 80 and largely mixed in top company.

    Just totted these up, unless my maths fails me, it's 43-0 during that period. Including names such as;

    Esteban De Jesus
    Ray Lampkin
    Edwin Viruet
    Lou Bizzaro
    Carlos Palomino
    and of course, a certain, Ray Leonard.

    Plus Hector Thompson, Guts Ishimatsu, Vilomar Fernandez, Saoul Mamby and Emilio Villa. And some people try to claim Duran's resumé is over-rated.

    We can all wiki-pedia Jack, I expected better from you!

    For me Henry Armstrongs 27 straight KO streak was something extraordinary, think of all the hype surrounding the late Edwin Valero when he kept KOing no-bodies, Armstrong was flattening top fighters back to back generations earlier. Think of all the bangers in history that never managed 27 straight KO's...

    Packy McFarland list his first fight, then went on a P4P spanning 94 fight unbeaten streak before retiring, beating ATG's including Freddie Welsh.

    Chavez's run was truly sublime too.

    Calzaghe and Floyds are both pathetic by some standards.
