Peter Buckley is a man for all seasons, a trail horse for young hopefuls, a card filler, (unless some fights not recorded lhe has had 286 fights, and won 31 of them, in his last 75 fights he boasts (if that the right word ) 1 win 1 draw and 73 losses, although fraitas turned the trick, Peter is rarely stopped, which is in no small part due to the level of matchmaking, but Peter does know his way around the ring and always gives an honest effort,
Eric Crumble WOW 0-32 with almost all of them 1st round KOs...32 fights and probably a total of 45 minutes of ring time. He even managed to get KOd by Donnie Penelton, who was 8-95 at the time, and now sits at a glorious 13-164-5. That must've been one memorable night of ring action in Cedar Rapids
Slapsie Maxie deserves a mention on this thread 300 bouts, over 200 wins, yet less than 20 stoppages, and this is merely his proven record; he fought many, many more fights IMO. http://www.boxrec.com/boxer_display.php?boxer_id=11349 And of course the Human Windmill deserves kudos as well. 300 (recorded) bouts in 13 years and all this is with the use of only one eye... http://www.boxrec.com/boxer_display.php?boxer_id=9019
Not all of that is correct, some of it is tainted by alphabet crap, others by promoters spin. 1: Benitez was the second youngest holder of alphabet crap (I beat him by three years, when I claimed the SHBF Heavyweight title on my 14th Birthday. The Youngerst 'World Champion' was probably Willie Pep. 2: The Ol' Mongoose may have a problem with his protege there... Foreman was merely the oldest to win a World Championship 3: Myth tainted by alphabet crap; Patterson was the youngest HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION OF THE WORLD when he beat Moore; Tyson was nearly two months older when he won the Championship from Spinks. 6: Abe Attell may disagree; honest Abe had a claim on the Feathwerweight Championship of the world from 1903 to 1915... 7: The Azteca was impressive and it may of been the largest paying crowd to watch a fight (although White City in London had bills that compared in numbers to the Azteca). But I believe a free show during World War II in Philadelphia attracted a crowd of 200,000 8: With his percentage as a promotor, de la Hoya probably topped that number in the Mayweather fight.
It makes most of todays fighters seem like part time pussies.. Mike Tyson was one of the last fast moving pro's He turned pro and boxed vigourously until he obtained a championship.. Then quickly unified.. It amazes me when i see fighters making 2 fights a year a standard.. Get a grip .. Its just greedy bastatrds getting paid too well....
well look on the boxrec they have this list...so it seems everyone of them is wrong but anyways benitez is the younest titlist(got round that) and the george foreman thing was his proven age and a champion aginast lineal threat and the chavez-haugen was the biggest sold crowd in boxing history thre is rumor that there was a WW1 memorial boxing card in philidelphia that seated over 50,000 (i totally disbelieve it but it's a rumor)
i do know that delahoya is the most single payed boxer in boxing in my guiness book of records somwhere i look it up. thanx for the facts
