Sugar Ray Robinson's streak of 90 fights without a loss. Doubt that will broken anytime soon.
how about julio cesar chavez' 90 fight win streak to start a career? say what you want but that's pretty impressive. also, his all-time best of 27 successful title defenses overall.
pacquiao's eight division world titles is probably going to stand the test of time and might not be broken for many decades, if ever.
ultimately, i believe most records will be broken with the exception of those early boxers who had like 250-300 fights. that will never be duplicated again.
I guess the obvious answer would be anything that has to do with the number of fights. Obviously its very unlikely that anyone now adays is going to break Archie Moore's KO record. Fighters today wouldn't have 130 career fights, let alone be able to record 130 knockout wins.
Joe Louis beat at least 8 hall of famers in his career. That I know. Tyson only beat 1, and that was a faded Holmes. Fact.Quote:

Michael Spinks is a hall of famer, he was an amazing Light Heavyweight one of the best at all time. And he was a good Heavyweight aswell, he was just scared and didn't turn up vs Mike Tyson.Quote:

Also fighting 200 times and beating everyone in his era and only getting knocked out once by heat exhaustion is a record in its own. And I think SRR was 85-0 in the amateurs. The man was baaaad.Quote:

George Foreman winning the Heavyweight crown 20 yrs apart (1973 and 1994). - That's mind boggling :o

Being champion at 17 doesn't sound to me like something likely to be beaten, I would personally go with that one.
given the state of the HW division and seeing how the average fighter in the division is in their 30's i don't really think it'll be broken anytime soonQuote:

in the US at least it won't be broken, seeing how you have to at least be 18 to turn pro so no chance in hell they'll become champion at 17Quote:
