...I defeated world champs from more divisions than any other non-champion. Who am I? - all champions must be recognized by BoxRec. - we're counting NWS wins as well as official wins. - it must be different world champs in each division - so if you beat, say, Roberto Duran, you can count him in only one division!
Del Flanagan? Sorry Henry, didn't see your post, but his was the name that popped into my mind immediately. I will be interested in the answer.
Oh, man... you are too good! I could have sworn, you wouldn't get that. I expected you to go with either Flanagan or Memphis Pal Moore (also 5 divisions)... but how on earth did you come up with 7-division man Abad? Jack Britton holds the record for most consecutive fights (342) without a single ko defeat. Kristian Laight holds the record for most consecutive fights (300) without a single inside-the-distance win. Kristian Laight holds the record for most defeats (279) during a pro career. Kid Azteca holds the record for most consecutive active pro years (33). Jimmy Wilde is the only world champ, who can claim ko wins in every round from 1 to 15. Archie Sexton is the only non-champion with ko wins in every round from 1 to 15. Oscar De La Hoya had the most fights (45) of any champion - where every opponent had a winning record. Manny Pacquiao is the only boxer, who has fought world title fights in 4 different decades. Pacquiao is the only boxer, who fought world title fights when in his teens, his 20s, his 30s and his 40s. Johnny Risko is the only non-HOFer, who can claim to have defeated 7 different HOFers. Eddie Perkins fought as a pro in more countries than any other world champion.
I have been doing this since I was a kid. Even if I haven't heard a question, most times I can answer it because it will be something I found while answering another question. I had this question recently: Who defeated the most world champions, without ever becoming one himself? The answer was Memphis Pal Moore with 10, Lloyd Marshall came in 2nd with 9. I also checked several other boxers and found guys like Flanagan 8, Bivins 8, Lew Feldman 8, Stribling 7, Arizmendi 7 and Davey Abed 6. So when I saw your question, the answer had to be one of them.
I'm actually the one with that question... and I noticed, that in answering it, you mentioned all those names - except Abad. So I thought you might have forgotten him. That's why I was so surprised, you found him that quickly! By the way, congrats with the induction. Regards, Bukkake/Bundana
