Your Favorite & (Least) Favorite Boxing Records

[Fenster]

Multi-weightclass titles don't mean anything to me. For sure, in this era, if anyone unified all the belts in two or three divisions it would be an amazing achievement, one that would be true Mount Rushmore stuff, however, it's virtually impossible and will never be done. The most important factor on any record is simply who you beat/fought.

Armstrong weighed 134lb for the Welterweight/Lightweight defence. IF we had one champion today can you seriously envisage a lightweight beating a top welterweight? Look at the recent mismatch between Spence-Mikey? And it also puts into perspective the amount of weight given away on fight night these days.

Broner being a 4-time champion means what? Sounds impressive but he didn't beat a single fighter HOF-worthy or even considered standout for the weightclass. His best win is arguably Paulie (and even that was contentious). And i'm not picking on Broner, hardly any multi-weight champs have more than one or two actual HOF title wins.

Pacquiao's career is just as impressive as any old-timer (imo). He's had arguably three different HOF-worthy careers. From the "mexicutioner" era to the incredible 2008 welterweight run combined with his 20+ year "world" championship reign from flyweight to current status.

Controversial i know but 'Eye of the Tiger' is pretty shite

I think it is safe to Say Archie Moore's 132 knockouts in 219 fights will survive until a new civilization or breed of humans takes over.
Impressive.

Yes that was the third record that I thought of. Nobody is going to beat that. 132 knockouts is mind-boggling.

Willie Pep's 2 unbeaten streaks of 62 and 73 respectively.
Henry Armstrong's 5 world title fights in 22 days.
Jimmy Wilde's 104 fight unbeaten streak.

My least favorites are any recent ones that involve weight classes and titles. They are all so watered down even if they are impressive.

My favorite one is Harry Greb going 45-0 in 1919. I get that many of them weren’t world beaters but he fought 5 HOFers a total of 10 times. He also fought in 21 cities in 8 states. That’s a lot considering the time. Also, Greb got some injuries during the year and had to cancel a few more fights because of them. Again, I understand that all of these fights weren’t against top notch opponents, but still it’s insane having to fight that many times in one year while battling injuries and winning them all.
