Nope. The concept encompasses all of boxing history, from codification through present day. There is no reason to split it up over multiple forums rather than keep a consolidated tally of the entire breadth of boxing lore. It would far more unreasonable to have one such thread here with another lost sibling in the General modern boxing forum than housing all the information together in one place. The appropriate place for such a thread is indeed the Classic, as the concept relates to boxing history en masse. :good Argument dismissed!
The argument against that, is in part this thread; the modern obsession with the '0'. A fighter of the past just wanted to beat someone, if they were undefeated then great, but it was merely an added bonus... Now a days, a fighter might avoid a 35/15 journeyman who could give him a tough battle, and take on the 'prospect' who is 15-0, but has beaten 15 bums. And when he wins in a round, he raves over beating the unbeaten fighter. Yes this basically is a thread based on maths. But when it started it seemed more because you tended to find the fighters who topped the thread were some of the finest the world has ever seen. But now the quality is sliding, and before we know it, a fighter who probably will not even be the best in his division at the time, let alone the dominant fighter of the era, or someone who resembles a future great, will be the best statistically. But rebuttal done, rant over.:twisted:
Mateusz Masternak - 1-0 William Chouloute 15-0 Lukasz Janik 20-0 Levan Jomardashvili 27-0 David Quinonero 53-0
Ricardo Lopez Rosendo Alvarez 24-0-1 Surachai Saengmorakot 10-0-0 Kermin Guardi 21-0-0 Toto Pongsawang 4-0-0 Kwang-Soo Oh 6-0-0 Rocky Lin 14-0-0 79-0-1
Frochy is lookin' real nice. Page, Ribacki, Pascal, Bute, Dirrell = 92 wins, 0 losses until the Cobra struck.
Not sure if his complete record was done, but his total was listed near the beginning of this thread, I believe...:think
Delvin Rodriguez Jonet Hernandez 1-0 Michael Melvin 2-0 Andre Baker 1-0 Allen Conyers 8-0 Troy Browning 20-0-1 George Tahdooahnippah 31-0-1 63
Tony Thompson DeSean Harper 2-0 Robert Anderson 4-0-1 Dana Dunston 3-0 Chester Hughes 9-0 Yanqui Diaz 8-0 David Price 15-0 41 Smallish number relative to some, but the quality of the last two enhances it.
Lew Feldman Sammy Farber 5-0 Jimmy Burns 2-0 Jackie Schweitzer 15-0-3 Nick Antonelli 9-0-1 Tommy McGough 4-0 Mike Belloise 24-0-3 George Zengaras 17-0-1 76
Feldman's own zero was taken by Jimmy Slavin, against whom Lew went 2-3-1 in a rivalry spanning four years. In longevity (their rivalry eclipsed pretty much Slavin's entire career, but only a chunk of Feldman's prime as he fought in three decades), quality opposition faced, achievements, placement in the contemporary rankings, and overall record Feldman comes out far ahead - but Slavin had his # h2h.
