Julio Caesar Chavez Jr. 41-0 record is identical to Floyd Mayweather Jr. I think we can agree the fighters are not.
Sven Ottke 34-0 Defended his title like 20 times. More than anyone in super middleweight history. Fought not even one great fighter yet was a title holder for many years. And got the close fights to sway his way. On paper he is a legend. In reality he is a B level fighter.
Freddie Thomas 0-9-2. Okay okay, this is my homeboy and nobody probably knows him on this forum. But I had to give him a shout out.Just to say a little though. He is actually better than his record reflects. He is a light weight fighter who has never fought there as a pro and has fought as high as middleweight. He even fought another friend, Antwun Echols. Freddie has never trained more than a week for a pro fight and has taken all his fights on no more than 2 weeks notice because he needed the money. He has been called 12 times out of the blue as a late replacement and taken 11 of them. He had the chance to be Andre Ward's first fight at 160+ and that is the only fight he turned down.

Although not the best record, infact the 2nd worse in British Boxing History behind Reggie Strickland. He fought plenty of top names and got robbed so many times as he was the journeyman and not the prospect.
