Benitez won alphabet crap, he was never THE World Champion in a weight division. He may of been the youngest titlist, although my claim beats him by three years, so perhaps I was the youngest titlist?
Tommy Burns holds the record if you do not rate alphabet crap. He had eight consecutive stoppage wins of THE World Championship. Holmes best with THE Championship is four.
In 1910-1920's some world champions were also called just title-holders, who weren't thought to be much. Even though there was one just champion title claimant per weight and linear/lineal **** and all that.
Alphabet crap was around then as well. Europe, America, Britain and Australia sometimes rated different world title holders...
The youngest heavyweight champ used to be Floyd patterson,but as all should know its mike tyson... How could one get that wrong..
Exactly I had this same discussion with a guy in the lounge, Tyson was a few months older than Patterson when he beat Spinks, He's the youngest ever HW titlist, not Lineal champ

Shortest fight, as the man comes out of his corner, he steps on his shoe lace and falls on his head. No punch thrown..Riplies Believe it or Not.
Lineage at Welterweight finished at the latest with Robinson; at 140lbs it finished in the 20s. Lineage in the boxing meaning is just another form of alphabet crap, used to confuse people IMO.
