Adding Up 0's Stolen...

I am not saying otherwise, but I do think they should have * against them, if boxrec notes their record may not be complete...

As for active fighters, it is a different sport now a days, and the modern game has its own forum, this is for the Classic fighters, in a Classic sport.

If not out and out soiling, it certainly *******izes this excellent thread to mix the two.

 

:roll:

This is a thread for intended for posterity, encompassing all of boxing lore from the beginnings of the sport as we know it in its modern gloved form to the present.

Someday we will all be dead, and the "modern" boxing scene will be lumped in as Classic Boxing right alongside that which is now already antiquated in our view. Hopefully this thread and/or its contents will survive us and future generations will be able to look back and continue to add to the list. The very author of this thread disagrees with you on this flawed conceit of yours, and has in fact posted many examples of both "modern" and "Classic" boxers to serve as a beacon as is his prerogative as the discussion starter.

You want this thread to be something it isn't. Maybe you should take your own advice and go start your own thread, rather than telling people there ought to be a separate one in the general forum based on some invisible and arbitrary temporal border between what in your view constitutes "Classic" and "modern". IMO, Russell got it right the first time - and has been 100% correct in the parameters he has set (both explicitly and through example) - ie, permitting inclusion of fighters from all eras including this one; using a variety of sources but assuming Boxrec in most cases to be an acceptable default authority, barring situations where there are known conflicts to be addressed on a case-by-case basis; each entry being submitted ONCE AND ONLY ONCE, with participants encouraged to be polite enough to use the search function before posting.

If you disagree with the way Russell has envisioned and steered this topic, I reiterate: go make your own.

 

One that fulfills TBooze's criteria and hasn't been done yet...(at least not according to search function)

Terrance Alli:

Rick Pappa 3-0-2
John Senegal 16-0-1
Miguel Santana 19-0
Jerry Page 8-0
David Thio 17-0 (RIP)
Phillipa Martin 7-0
Charles Murray 20-0

Total: 80-0-3

Not too bad.

 

Another reasonably impressive total by an 80's lightweight contender...

Tyrone Crawley: Total...68-0-2 (including taking the undefeated records of Rockin' Robin Blake and Gene Hatcher)

 

Make that 80-0. Jimmy Price was 12-0 when Ayub took him out in 1.

 

Re-added Zarate's total, since it looked kinda low. Instead of the 70 listed, here's what I have...

Zamora (29-0)
Batista (26-0)
Paredes (1-0)
Guevara (14-0)
Martinez (20-0-1)

Total...90-0-1

 

Turkish welterweight slugger Selcuk Aydin is assembling a trophy case...

Dzmitry Lubachkin 18-0
Jo Jo Dan 26-0 (this one was a robbery, though)
Sergrejs Savrinovics 1-0
Jonny Ibramov 4-0

49.

He's been on-again/off-again rumored to meet Andre Berto (currently 27-0, could improve to 28 if he beats Victor Ortiz this month) for about a year. He's already been paid step-aside money once - to let Berto fight another power puncher named Freddy Hernandez instead. Berto and/or his handlers might see something in Aydin that has them nervous to make the match. At a certain point, Berto will probably have to face the top contender. Aydin would have a chance then to increase his total to 77.

 

In his stellar 300 fight career Peter Buckley deserves a mention on this thread.

He may not have a number in the hundreds but he did beat:

Matthew Harris (6-0) and Matt Brown (7-0).

Brown was good enough to go on and get two British title shots, but was flattened in a round by the Brummie journeyman.

Peter Buckley, unlucky for two Matts: 13

 

Has Julio Gonzalez been done. I didn't see his name appear when I checked search function (although he might well be listed in passing)

Gustavo Enriquez (8-0)
Reggie Roberts (8-0)
Jesus Ruiz (15-0)
Julian Letterlough (15-0-1)
Dariusz Michalcwezski (48-0)

96-0-1

 

Crap. One...My math sucks, and two...this was already mentioned in passing on page three of the thread. Sorry

 

Mambaco was a pretty nice operator. :thumbsup

Journeyman Heavyweight Willie Chapman:

Felipe Bojorquez (9-0)
T.J Wilson (9-0)
Malcom Tann (8-0)
Preston Hatzog (15-0-1)

Not too shabby at all, especially for a guy with a record of 21-29-4 :good
