    Just been reading the BBC sport boxing about the Murray Rios fight and it said John Murray held the longest unbeaten streak in British boxing until the mitchell set back.

    I thought that was Joe Calzaghe? :think

    It meant the longest unbeaten run of currently active boxers if that makes sense.

    He had the current longest streak, not the longest streak ever.

    The longest ever unbeaten racord technically belongs to "Boston" Tom McMustache. At one point in his long and storied career he had 4 wins sandwiched in between 372 no costests that stretched over 24 years.

    Calzaghe is not the longest, Paup Snith went 62-0 until he lost his first fight, against Wellard Strongarm, a 3 round nws.

    He waited until Boston Tom was a shadow of a fighter he once was and started calling him out when Tom was 78 :blood, if he had the guts to call him out when Tom was in his prime 10 years earlier and the linear HW and MW champion then they may have got it on. Snith only got brave when McMustache was at the tail end of his career.:deal
