Guys I think he made a mistake and just read winning streaks. And Flea don't you dare mention Ricardo Lopez!
No, he wasn't a genius. Too stiff, and fought a load of jokers. It's like heavy metal guitar players; great at shredding, but where are the tunes?
I was just gonna say Sven Ottke, the most unremarkable champion i've seen. Those other German stars are decent picks too.
Lionel Butler went 16-0 (with a drug-based NC that was originally a win) having had a 6-9-1 record prior to that. It included wins against Tony Tubbs, Bonecrusher and David Dixon. Junior Witter was undefeated for 8 years after his late-substitute loss to Zab Judah until losing to Timothy Bradley. He went 21-0 and had a 15-fight KO/TKO streak at one point, despite not being a natural puncher. In that time, he won the British, Commonwealth, European and WBC light welterweight titles, with wins against the likes of Kotelnik, Vivian Harris, Chop Chop and N'Dou.
cant believe you guys left out Marty Jakubowski...went undefeated a while before losing to chavez and didnt lose again until 3 years later, up til that point was 87-1
