My goal after this is to do a "most contenders beat since 1970" list.

 

My most KOs in title fights list:

Joe Louis has been the champ for around 80 years! Naoya Inoue, on the verge of tying him (21 vs 22), has had 3 straight decisions, showing how hard the record really is to achieve, even in this era of diluted titles!

 

To be fair though, Floyd and Inoue have more wins vs top fighters than Chavez. Inoue has beaten 14 top 5 contenders and 20 top 10 contenders while Floyd beat 18 top 5 contenders and 22 top 10 contenders. Chavez beat 8 top 5 contenders and 15 top 10 contenders.

In all fairness, Chavez has 4 wins over hall of famers while Inoue only has 3 and only 2 good ones.

 

I don't count much for title fights alone, it's merely a statistic to help historians for context. Of course, by number of ranked fighters, old fighters dwarf modern fighters. It's more unfair to compare old to new because of the number of fights the old fighters had.
