    Who had the most fights against the same world champion...
    before being able to score the first win (official or newspaper) against him?


    B
    Who had the most fights against the same world champion...
    without ever scoring a single win against him?

    No... since Britton won their 1st fight and Lewis won the 2nd, they can't be candidates for either question.

    There have been a few cases where a fighter has taken a Calzaghe Lacey style thrashing then come back for four more!

    How about Jack Dillon who beat or drew with George Chip 11 times, going 8-0-3 against him, before Chip finally beat him in there 12th meeting.

    Pancho Villa met Mike Ballerino 10 times without ever losing.

    Thanks, you not so bad yourself.

    Yes, it's amazing that they use to fight against each other so many times.
