    On which boxer's record can we find the longest streak of consecutive fights against men, who are on BoxRec's list of world champions?

    I was just asked this question a few weeks ago so I will wait until I get back tonight just to see if anyone else can come up with the answer. GREAT Question!

    Look up the heavyweights in the 1980s. Many of them won the title, so fighting each other would give many the chance to fight consecutive champions.

    De la Hoya or Hopkins must go close. Not sure how many either have off the top of my head though

    Yes, De la Hoya it is (as I'm sure hh has as well)! His last 12 fights were all against world champions.
