A question for the board..

[Mar]

What is the least number of wins a boxer has had and was still champion of his division ?

[killersheep]

Saensak Muangsurin won the WBC light welterweight title in his 3rd pro fight.

[Saddo]

cant beat the above but the biggest one that sprug to my mind was spinks win over Ali think he only had 9 or 11 fight cant remember offhand but it wernt alot.

Yeah hard to beat that one....

Think it was his 8th fight....and to think his whole prime lasted until the rematch

Vargas won his in less then 15 fights and a slew of the small guys (under 112) have won titles under 15 fights

[superheavyrhun]

The most recent was that Japanese guy Koki Kameda who won the WBA Light Flyweight title in his 12th fight, at the age of 19, at least that's who sprung to my mind.

I think he vacated to move up though.

[THE THIRD MAN]

Jeff Fenech won the IBF Bantamweight Title in his 7th fight.

[ICB]

Leon Spinks
Saensak Muangsuring
Pete Rademacher
Rafael Lovera
Davey Moore
Jeff Fenech

Come to Mind.

[JT Rock]

Didnt Evander Holyfield Beat Qawi in his 12th or 15th pro fight?

12th.

[CutMeMick]

That I know of the record is as follows.

1. Saensak Muangsurin 3 (as noted by killer)
2. Jeff Fenech 7 fights
3. Leon Spinks & Davey Moore 8 fights
4. Nobuo Nashiro 9 fights

Pete Rademacher
Rafael Lovera

It should be noted that these 2 guys did not become champions.

Quite shocking that Pete Rademacher even managed to knock down Floyd Patterson in only his first pro fight.

[Dark Lord Al]

I think Fenech is the least number of wins ,to become a two weight champ , he knocked out Samart Payakaroon at SB.His twelve fight when he became a 2 weight champ , thats got to be a record ?

I think you are correct and Fenech holds the record.

Well to be honest I'm not really shocked that he did that to Floyd I mean if you look at Petes amateur career he was very skilled.
Whats shocking here to me is that he got a shot at the World Title solely by his amateur credentials.

David Reid didn't have too many fights when he won his 154 lb title. About 10 I think.
