The only guy i can think of without a padded record is Tyrone Brunson , i mean that guy has had to go through hell to get 19 wins , and there has been rumors that in his 20th fight he will face a guy who the promoters haven't has to have exhumed.![]()

I can't think of any off the top of my head.
ODLH has the best resume i can think of.
There is too much money to be made from having an undefeated fighter and too much to lose from losing one or two fights.
Too many world titles means that a 20-0 fighter with an extremely padded record can fight for a world title.....and then defend it against mandatories, who alos don't really deserve world title shots.
It's more of a business than it is a sport.
Its got to be ODLH he beat Jeff Mayweather with only 4 pro fights, he then beat Troy Dorsey with 6 pro fights, he then won Super Featherweight title with only 11 pro fights. And then after that he fought good opponent's after good opponents. Also Evander Holyfield fought decent opposition then he beat Dwight Muhammad Qawi only after 11 pro fights, he then demolished every single good Cruiserweight there was to beat, he then moved up and started fighting the best the Heavyweight division had to offer.
ODLH record has very little padding. I dont think he ever fought anyone with more losses then wins.
Yeah looking at ODLH's record I feel a little bad for giving him shit for fighting Forbes, he has put his work in and deserves a little bit of a gimme.
Kostya Tszyu fought La Porte in his 4th fight, and Bramble in his 10th, then won a world title in his 14th i think.
Guys like ODLH, Tszyu and Gamboa can be moved along faster because of their long amature careers.
I wanted to say Holyfield, but his record has a few soft touches in their at both ends...
Great post! It has me going through my list of tough guys...
Although he also has a soft beginning (high school gyms and all), I would still recommend Marvelous Marvin Hagler for not being padded.
If you excuse his late 70's fights (which he had to take b/c no one would fight him for their title), he was fighting all top 10's until his disgusted end.
Thx for the big up... As I see it, he fought for the world title within his first twelve fights, unified the division, moved up in weight, stayed top 10 his whole career, won the title 4 times and only got soft when his self proclaimed 'arm problem' earned him all of those losses.
Damn... he just fought for the 'title' last year!!!
