    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.

    Like almost all fighters, Lennox had some padding early, for the first two years of his career. After that, he fought almost no tomato cans, and he ducked nobody. Looking at his list of fights from 1991 - 2003, it's pretty amazing. He fought a few weak fighters in 1991 when he was defending the Euro belt, but starting with the Ruddock fight, he went on an amazing run.

    No doubt.I was guilty of buying The Ruddock drama.I lost twenty bucks and a sixer of Heineken that Halloween night.....Back in Lewis's two left feet days,He pulverized Him.Lewis has to be one of the top Fighters I have done a turn around on.At first he was a big clumsy stiff oaf but over the years I have nothing but huge respect for him.

    How good was Gary Mason when He fought Lewis for Euro title??Vaguely remember he had some Retina Problems but came In with a glossy undefeated record?

    Mason was decent to good.
    He had had surgery on the retina months before.

    Lewis sparred with tape over the sparring partners eyes (on the headguards) and targeted it with the jab.

    Lennox thought Msson was durable and tough so he swelled mason's eye like an apple (literally) and stopped the fight.

    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.

    Holyfield is probably the closest thing to a guy u cannot accuse of having a padded record. Mainly because nearly all his toughest opponents were way bigger than him. Good pick up mate.
