Thread: Most impressive title run

What do you believe to be the greatest title run from a pro post WW2 (a world title), without losing the titles or moving up or down a divison. What do you believe to be more important quantity or quality?

i'm not sure who has the most impressive title runs but quantity is better than quality in my opinion. If boxers stayed in there own weight class and tried to defend there titles people wouldn't be able to say you ducked anyone.

Totally misread your post there so if my post (before this edit) is quoted ignore.

I think Hagler's title run has to be up there as one of the greats. He has both quality and quantity within his opposition.

Bhop had 1 helluva title run

You ask a lot of questions mate and I for one am learning things myself from the responses so keep it up!

Gaining weight but not getting taller while challenging warriors in their strong holds is not an easy thing to do.

Hagler at middleweight

Hopkins at middleweight

Jones Jr. at lightheavyweight

Trinidad at welterweight, was IBF welterweight champion from 1993 to 2000, with wins over Blocker, Carr, Whitaker, Camacho, Campas, Pineda, and DLH

Roberto Duran at lightweight. He would only lose once during his lightweight reign, and that was to Esteban DeJesus in a non title bout. He would beat him in a rematch and a rubber match in defence of his title. He had 40+ fights as a lightweight, and never lost a title fight at that weight.

Arguably, had South Korean Jung Koo Chang (38-4) fought in the U.S. during his reign, his popularity would had rivaled that of Aaron Pryor from whom he took his nickname. He went 37-1 in his first 38 outings. In 1983, he avenged his first loss by icing Hilario Zapata and capturing the WBC light flyweight crown.

Amazingly, “The Hawk” then established what would then be a world record for the most defenses as World Light Flyweight champion, defending the title successfully 16 times between 1983 and 1988.Chang's record for successive title defenses in the 108 pound division would fall to Myung Woo Yuh who successfully defended his WBA Jr. Flyweight Title 17 times in his first reign between 1985 and 1991.

I always give WBA Featherweight champ Eusebio Pedroza props whenever I can.

He had eighteen title defenses over 7 years before finally falling to Barry McGuigan. Too bad he never fought Salvador Sanchez. Sanchez gets more recognition, but I think Pedroza's record gives up little or nothing to Sanchez.

Most exciting boxers didnt stay at one division. Alot of the boxers that had long runs in one division were not fan friendly, ie were safe, defensive minded and boring as hell. My all time top title run was Mike Tyson.

Nice one.Chang was one of the bravest and all out fierce fighters Ive ever seen fight.He stepped out on his own terms originally.Thought he beat Chitalada and literally came within one finishing shot in the last seconds of claiming another strap vs. a battered Kittakasem.Awesome fight,classic
