    The way this question is asked, the correct answer is probably Joe Louis--1934 to 1948.

    I exclude Louis because he was actually Champion from 37 onwards I meant contender consecutively ,sorry for any misunderstanding.

    Tim Witherspoon must have had a decent run in the top 10 too.

    Then I would guess Zora Folley who was rated from 1956 to 1966--11 consecutive years.
