As in beating a boxer with an undefeated record. Undefeated boxers usually have an amazing desire to keep their undefeated status, especially in todays marketing oriented boxing scene where it brings more attention to a fighter (Who need in considering the lack of interest in the sport in general now) and more lucrative paydays. Stealing 0's is also sometimes indicative of getting a win over a motivated and conditioned version of a certain fighter, with their desire to keep their 0 and what not. So who's got a lot of these? Who's got the most? Riddick Bowe beat three undefeated boxers in a row once. Gonzalez, Hide, and Donald. He had the NC against Mathis before that. Cesar Chavez did this... six times I think. Thoughts? Tyson's done this seven times, but a few of those had lower undefeated records. 3-0 and what not. McCall hasn't done it as much as some fighters, but he's smashed more than one high profile fighters dreams of staying undefeated. Oleg and Lennox Lewis for starters.
Larry Holmes did it a lot. Even though most of thsos "0"'s were against 10- or 15-0 type fighters lol.
Foreman did it a few times. Like to Frazier. Frazier got a huge one over Muhammad Ali, that has to count for a lot.
There are a lot of important 0's waiting to be stolen by one top notch fighter who's willing and able to make the transition between welterweight and middleweight or even super middleweight: PBF, Paul Williams, Jermain Taylor, Calzaghe. Frankly, tho', I don't see any fighters with the courage of a Henry Armstrong to risk that crossover.
On a minor scale Marlon Starling made a living off schooling undefeated prospects. Jose "The Threat" Baret, Tommy Ayers, Simon Brown and champion Mark Breland all felt his sting on their 0's. Lloyd Honeyghan had only ever lost a TD pre Starling as well.
Intresting thread. Wlad took six 0's I think the king of this thread is Larry Holmes. He took ten 0's
Unbeaten runs are overrrated and there are many more today because fighters are more protected than ever but: Tito Trinidad took a few 0s of World Champs, which is more impressive. Reid, Vargas, Delahoya, Carr, Campas are impressive 0s to take RJJ took 8 zeros
