    Gaining weight but not getting taller while challenging warriors in their strong holds is not an easy thing to do.

    Roberto Duran at lightweight. He would only lose once during his lightweight reign, and that was to Esteban DeJesus in a non title bout. He would beat him in a rematch and a rubber match in defence of his title. He had 40+ fights as a lightweight, and never lost a title fight at that weight.

    Arguably, had South Korean Jung Koo Chang (38-4) fought in the U.S. during his reign, his popularity would had rivaled that of Aaron Pryor from whom he took his nickname. He went 37-1 in his first 38 outings. In 1983, he avenged his first loss by icing Hilario Zapata and capturing the WBC light flyweight crown.

    Amazingly, “The Hawk” then established what would then be a world record for the most defenses as World Light Flyweight champion, defending the title successfully 16 times between 1983 and 1988.Chang's record for successive title defenses in the 108 pound division would fall to Myung Woo Yuh who successfully defended his WBA Jr. Flyweight Title 17 times in his first reign between 1985 and 1991.

    Nice one.Chang was one of the bravest and all out fierce fighters Ive ever seen fight.He stepped out on his own terms originally.Thought he beat Chitalada and literally came within one finishing shot in the last seconds of claiming another strap vs. a battered Kittakasem.Awesome fight,classic

    LIGHT FLYWEIGHT.
    Myung woo Yuh made 17 defences in the same division as Jung Koo Chang , they were champions at the same time but never fought.He lost his first fight to Hiroki Ioka on a split verdict , won the return , then defended the title 1 more time before retiring - 38 wins - 1 loss ( avenged ) 14 ko's.
    Always wanted him to fight Chang. He was a great little fighter.

    I always give WBA Featherweight champ Eusebio Pedroza props whenever I can.

    He had eighteen title defenses over 7 years before finally falling to Barry McGuigan. Too bad he never fought Salvador Sanchez. Sanchez gets more recognition, but I think Pedroza's record gives up little or nothing to Sanchez.

    Most exciting boxers didnt stay at one division. Alot of the boxers that had long runs in one division were not fan friendly, ie were safe, defensive minded and boring as hell. My all time top title run was Mike Tyson.
