What are the longest periods of time that fighters have gone without losing a fight? From 1905 to late 1914 Jack Johnson was undefeated, his only loss being a DQ. Then he lost to Willard and went unbeaten for another decade. Roy Jones was unbeaten sans a DQ loss from 89-2003. Marciano was undefeated period in the eight years that he boxed.
Julio Cesar Chavez had his first fight in early 1980. He 87-0 before he drew with Whitaker in late 1993. He was 89-0-1 when he went into his fight with Randall in mid 1994, which he lost. 14 years and 90 fights without a loss (one draw) is quite a streak, even if his early competition was poor.
SRR was "only" 35-0 when he lost to LaMotta. He continued on to 128-1-2 though , which was his record when he lost to Randy Turpin in 1951. Pep was 62-0 when he lost to Angott in 1943.
Larry Holmes was unbeaten for 12 and a half years. Pro debut on March 21st 1973, defeated by Michael Spinks on September 21st 1985.
Loi lost in Denmark against Johansen in 1952, he revenged that L 2 years later and he was undefeated until he was robbed against Ortiz in his hometown in 1960, that 8 years without a loss were 67 wins...
Pep was 62-0-0 or 63-0-0. Marciano obviously was 49-0-0, Holmes was 48-0-0 Chavez had a VERY long one. Wasn't he like 85-0-0 at one point???
Chavez lost in 1981 If we are talking time: Foreman went over 14 years unbeaten Tony Ayala turned pro in 1980 and lost his '0' in 2000....
