Most World Title Fights without a victory ?
Who has had lots of world title fights without ever winning a title?
I start it off with Rocky Lockridge, with 6, as follows ...
Eusebio Pedroza (2) WBA Featherweight
Wilfredo Gomez WBA Super FeatherWeight
Julio Cesar Chavez WBC Super Featherweight
Tony Lopez (2) IBF Super Featherweight
probably there are guys out there with more.
Re: Most World Title Fights without a victory ?
Nice thread but i have to point out that Rocky Lockridge won the Super Featherweight title 3 times if i recall. Unless i read the thread wrong bro ? let me know.Originally Posted by CGM
But the first one that comes to mind is Yaqui Lopez he fought for the world title 4 times, but was unlucky to never win it against top fighters like John Conteh, Matthew Saad Muhammad, Carlos De Leon, Victor Emilio Galindez.

OK another with 4 is Ruben Castillo, with losses to Arguello, Sanchez, LaPorte, and Chavez. I do see a victory for something called WBO NABO lightweight title, but I assume that's not a world title ??
Re: Most World Title Fights without a victory ?
Among current active boxers, I say Super Flyweight Jose Navarro... I wonder why this guy always get the title shots... I think he got 4 shots but unfortunately failed in all 4 ...
Navarro must have a very good manager...

I'd think Jerry Quarry would also be somewhere in there as well.

Not sure how many of those 4 fights you've seen but he was blantanly robbed vs. Kawashima.Among current active boxers, I say Super Flyweight Jose Navarro... I wonder why this guy always get the title shots... I think he got 4 shots but unfortunately failed in all 4 ...
Navarro must have a very good manager...

Tokuyama & Kirilov fights were close and could have gone either way.
The only time I've seen him beat was vs. Mijares. I don't think it had to do with promoter but more that he wasn't convincingly beat.
