    What is the most impressive ever unbeaten run in boxing? In your opinion.

    It could be anything from a whole career going unbeaten, a long run of unbeaten fights, an unbeaten number of title defences, or just a string of a few very, very tough fights, and winning them back to back....

    Robinson's 128-1-2 (one defeat, I know), or even his 88-0-2 after the Lamotta loss has to be right up there. Wins over the likes of Lamotta, Gavilan, Olson, Armstrong, Angott, Bell, Doyle among many others.

    Larry Holmes going 8 years defending his belt, from 1978-1986..
    JOE Louis went on to defend his title a record 25 times, it's a toss up between the 2.

    Obviously there is Marciano but Sugar Ray's streak I felt was more impressive.
