Name a boxer, on whose record we can find 2 consecutive KO/TKO defeats... spaced more than 20 years apart. "Consecutive" only relates to the 2 ko defeats - there can be any number of other losses (and wins) in between.
Don't know, but I know a boxer who was stopped with a 27year gap between fights,and twice in between.
What I mean, is from one ko defeat to the next - but not necessarily in consecutive fights. Ok, maybe I should have made this clearer, as I can see, it can be misunderstood.
Benny Leonard? Lost by KO to Frankie Fleming in 1912 and didn't suffer defeat again in the same manner until McLarnin did him in '32....
B,what about Jack Britton, who in his first few starts in 1904,was stopped as a prelim and fought his last bout in 1930,never ever stopped again in 344 fights...
Yes Burt, that is indeed one of boxing's most (if not THE most) impressive records - which, of course, will never be broken!
