Boxers to 'clean out' their division?

O yes, Joe Louis is definetely one as well. And I said holmes arguably, not saying its definitive, some people do feel he dodged thomas, but it could be considered

 

Although he had a lot of the 'work' done by others. Was there realistically anyone left for Marciano to fight, when he called it quits?

Hagler had no one to play with at 160 until Tommy et al moved up/came out of retirement.

Hopkins cleaned up the 160lbers too, in the early part of the Century.

 

**** Hasegawa; Rafa' never fought Sahaprom. Rafa' wasn't even the no.1 IMO.

Admittedly I would've picked Hozumi to beat Rafa' back on the day but with hindsight Marquez would've caught and stopped Hasegawa at some point I imagine.

 

yeah **** Rafa. he didn't clean out no division.

Benny Leonard and Rocky Marciano have the best claims imo.

 

With Ohba dead Bus Station had ruthlessly destroyed Betulio Gonzalez, outboxed Salavarria and beaten highly ranked Cabanela (who had just fought Ohba for his title)

Before moving up he'd effectively cleaned out flyweight, as the no.1/2 was dead.

 

Antonio 'Kid Pambele' Cervantes should get some consideration.

Can't see anybody he avoided.

 

trying to add something new and it's hard, great answers.

can't wait to hear the responses but lennox lewis cleaned out the division from mid-90s til his retirement

 

nah not since we now know what a shady piece of **** he was.

 

Cervantes didn't fight Muangsurin.

 

did terry norris ever truly clean out 154?

 

Frank Klaus did. Just exhausted him so much that after he finally unifaid all claims he was done.

 

How about Vicente Saldivar at Featherweight?

 

Oh, fair enough, I did forget about Sahaprom Flea, I'll retract Rafa Marquez.

 

The Klitschkos

 

i know what you're saying but by definition, neither has until they beat the other. they are two boxers, not one family
