    I think Armstrong lost his first few amateur fights but only because he was outweighed and was starved. before that, I read that he had one pro fight and then went back to the amateurs.

    BHOP vs Calzaghe would have been a draw then they would have fought again.

    "Pipino Cuevas" was 6-4 after 10 bouts.

    "Mike Weaver" was 5-5 after 10 bouts.

    Wow, a staggering total of five greats or near greats with five losses. Amazing! :lol: :rofl

    Apparently this rare trend of fighters with a certain amount of losses also goes to 3, 8, and 11 defeats.

    Joe Louis= 68-3
    Duillo Loi= 115-3-8
    Wilfredo Gomez= 44-3-1
    Marvin Hagler= 62-3-2
    Sugar Ray Leonard= 36-3-1

    Alexis Arguello= 82-8
    Wilfred Benitez= 52-8-1
    Ken Buchanan= 62-8
    Bob Foster= 56-8-1
    Daniel Zaragoza= 55-8-3


    Willie Pep= 230-11-1
    Charley Burley= 84-11-2
    Harold Johnson= 76-11


    I think we should have Jim Carrey act in a new horror flick about these mysterious numbers.

    Mayweather won a professional title in his 18 th outing. (another title on the 25th)

    Calzaghe in his 23rd. (nothing on the 25th)


    Guzman in his 23rd (nothing on the 25th)

    That's the first three out the window. I haven't checked the rest, but Lacy was 21-0 when he LOST the title.


    Could you be mistaken, here ?

    NO WAY?!?

    5 fighters, FIVE LOSSES!

    Someone quickly change the requirements for entry to the HOF to: "must have 5 losses".
