Fighters who had the most title shots

[IamInuit]

Griffith jumped right out
Judah comes to mind
Toney
Salido
Zapada


And ftr Schultz got severely jobbed by that Foreman decision. He clearly won that fight and afterward would never be the same

Some would say that was karma for the Akinwande 'draw'...

My 2p on this subject would be Yaqui Lopez. 0-4 in 'world title fight' and also lost North American and State title fights.

He actually had 5.
vs. De Leon 1983 (WBC)
vs. Muhammad 1980 (WBC)
vs. Galindez 1978 (WBA)
vs. Galindez 1977 (WBA)
vs. Conteh 1976 (WBC)

Hopkins had 5 also

I cannot even blame memory as I checked on boxrec to make sure I had the numbers right; I simply cannot count to five!

The Shultz run is really a trip. He has his ranking bought and payed for and is exhibit A in lawsuits and investigations that bring down Lee and help put spotlight on corruption in boxing. He is looked at as a joke vs Foreman then goes on to absolutely box his ears off. Rematch ordered, Big George says thanks but no thanks so Shultz gets Botha for vacant title. He earns his title fight after the fact. Then he beats Botha, gets jobbed, and Botha proves a steroid cheat so the fight goes NC aka it never happened. Ibf orders a rematch for the dirty hair ball and a judge tells ibf to feck right off and orders Shultz vs Moorer right away. Weird like that. Guy brought in from obscurity and gets the last laugh with three massive pay days. Then poof. Gone.

Zapata, Galindez and Judah good calls! I remember a guy calling Judah the Buffalo Bills of boxing. Good enough to get to the dance but struggled to steal the stage. Juarez already mentioned also. More lives than a feral cat. Pazienza had a bunch. Light to Spr. Middle you'd figure as much. Today Humberto Soto and Jhonny Gonzalez. Leo Gamez ran the board and became four division champ. Guess you have the two classes of title shots. Ones you bring in who always put up a decent scrap but condidered somewhat safe. The measuring sticks. Then as we see more today the guys who 'collect' trinkets and just as quickly dump them. More an indictment on the sub divisions mountains of plastic belts they hand out.

Nice class Spicoli.

And the Moorer fight was close IMO. Didn't he fracture Mike's nose or jaw?

Great call on Johnny G. Can't believe he is still add it.

Agree close and Moorer power on display. He takes guff because of chin but Moorer evolved his style. Temperament and sound solid boxer at core under flat feet and power game. Not sure of post Shultz but he did complained about jaw and possible break after Botha fight.

Tossing in Marcos Villasana who got it done on the 5th shot. Hoko had his eyes slammed shut and hit low but would take the rematch.
