    also factor in he would drive from city to city, state to state in an old Honda with a zillion miles on it..... he never really had to train much back then, fighting was his training
    he finished up 180-20-2
    202 fights

    youre free to arrive at any conclusion that your power to reason leads you. but when you factor in the numerous variables that would have to be aligned with that conclusion, it just falls apart.

    Yep, fighting was his training. They'd fight twenty to forty top ten guys in a career and the rest were likely club fighters. The club fighters wouldn't be more of a problem than the guys modern fighters hire to spar with them before a big fight. We hear about Manny Pacquiao or Floyd Mayweather beating ten guys in sparring on their way to a big fight now, don't we?

    The weird ones are when you hear about Sam Langford fighting Joe Jeanette eleven times, or Harry Wills 23 times. That's the kind of fighter you can't easily deal with and quickly recover from. Or Ted Lewis fighting Jack Britton 20 times. Or the unreal number of top contenders Maxie Rosenbloom fought.

    The amateur boxers today fight every week or two as well. They just don't fight guys near their level every time. That's how Rigondeaux or Lomachenko can wrack up those impressive 300-3 records.

    Galaxy lost his 7th fight and won the next 41. Felix Trinidad won his first 40. Gomez only won 32 in a row before he got stopped by Sanchez. I'm seeing Don Steele won 41 in a row with one NC. You are right about Chavez but he got the result reversed on appeal.

    A bit like your namesake then, except there's footage of him fighting bums.

    Noknoi Sitthiprasert is on a 50+ fight winning streak (boxrec list is as 53, Asian boxing suggest it's at least 54, a boxrec comment suggests it could be 59+)
