Can any other non-ATG HW top these two 4-wins streaks (if there are in-between wins over lower-level opponents it doesn't count)? Jimmy Ellis: Ellis scored 4 excellent consecutive wins stopping Leotis Martin, beating Oscar Bonavena, Jerry Quarry and Floyd Patterson Or Buster Douglas: Douglas demolished Mike Williams who was considered as one of the best HW prospects before that fight, then went on to dominate Trevor Berbick and Oliver McCall beating both by wide UD, and eventually beat up and knocked out undefeated, undisputed HW champion Mike Tyson. I know there were some other good 4-wins streaks like, for example, Jameel McCline's one: Alfred Cole (wide UD), Michael Grant (KO1), Lance Whitaker (UD), Shannon Briggs (wide UD), but it wasn't quite on Ellis' or Douglas' level. Can you name 4-wins streaks from non-ATG HWs that can match these two?
Lamon Brewster TKO5 Wlad Klitschko Lamon Brewster W12 Kali Meehan Lamon Brewster KO1 Andrew Golota Lamon Brewster TKO9 Luan Krasniqi Lamon's title reign is one of my favorites. He got off the floor to stop Wlad in a huge upset. Fought to an exciting split decision win against his good friend who prepared him for the Wlad fight, Meehan. Destroyed Golota in one round in Chicago in front of 18,000 Poles. Went to Germany and stopped Krasniqi on Max Schmeling's 100th birthday, on the night the Germans were all set to have a coronation of the Schmeling look-a-like. Even his loss to Liakhovich was one of the great heavyweight action fights of this century.
How about 5 for Jimmy Bivins?: 1. Joey Maxim 2. Joe Muscato 3. Tami Mauriello 4. Bab Pastor 5. Lee Savold He beat Ezzard Charles in his next fight, but that was contested at LHW.
Sam Langford won a trilogy against Sam McVey in 1912 with a win over Porky Dan Flynn the c-c-combo breaker.
Jimmy Young had two nobodies in the mix of four but he beat Foreman and Lyle back to back each side of them.
The Cleaver had Bethea Miteff Wiley Terrell But i fear Klompy will call me out and label Williams an ATG and therefore immaterial. Six of one half a dozen of another!
Murderer's row. Only a handful of heavies throughout history could've replicated that. I love how this guy accuses everyone of being obsessed with Williams but he's the only one making sexual references to his physique, and comes out of the woodwork every time Williams name is mentioned.
