    I know this list is not complete and anybody who can find any omissions could you please point them out. I made this list in research for a book i'm thinking about writing and for my own reference but i thought i would share it with you so feel free to copy and paste it. I include only the big 4 WBC WBA WBO IBF interim titles don't count but if upgraded to full title status and defended eg (Arthur) they appear.

    You've missed all of Benny Lynchs title fights from the mid-late 1930s.
