Some of these guys undoubtedly escaped the dreaded "1" in the Loss column by fighting (to that point) bums who were worse than they were. Let's not forget the wide disparity in early records between different up-and-coming fighters. For every Lomachenko, who was thrown to the wolves immediately after turning pro..... you've got probably dozens of Chavez Jr.'s, who only stopped fighting cadavers until well into his pro career.

How was it "woefully misleading" when I stated right underneath that having an undefeated record doesn't necessarily mean you were a great fighter, or even that you're better than someone who isn't undefeated?

It's just a statistic.
