View Full Version : Most title fights - without ever beating a champion? Bundana 10-27-2009, 07:01 PM Just one of those crazy ideas that pop up in my head from time to time: Who had the most world title fights, without ever defeating an opponent who - at one time or another - could call himself world champion? Any suggestions? mickey malone 10-28-2009, 09:36 AM Just one of those crazy ideas that pop up in my head from time to time: Who had the most world title fights, without ever defeating an opponent who - at one time or another - could call himself world champion? Any suggestions? Well whoever it is, it won't me many! Best I can do is Colin Jones.. 2 X Milton McCrory and 1 X Donald Curry = 3 GJC 10-28-2009, 10:17 AM Well whoever it is, it won't me many! Best I can do is Colin Jones.. 2 X Milton McCrory and 1 X Donald Curry = 3 I've got a 5, Yaqui Lopez. v Conteh @ LHW v Galindez @ LHW, twice v Saad Humammed @ LHW v De Leon @ cruiser mickey malone 10-28-2009, 10:20 AM I've got a 5, Yaqui Lopez. v Conteh @ LHW v Galindez @ LHW, twice v Saad Humammed @ LHW v De Leon @ cruiser Smart Arse! At the same time, 'ye who teach me' Dem Eyes 10-28-2009, 10:21 AM What about Bruno? Or maybe I didn't read the question properly.. :thinking: oc9979 10-28-2009, 10:26 AM does this mean someone won a vacant title and defended against nobodys?? GJC 10-28-2009, 10:41 AM Smart Arse! At the same time, 'ye who teach me' Knew he was at least a 4 the Cruiser was a bonus :) Seriously unlucky guy Lopez very game deserved to hold a title for a bit I think. GJC 10-28-2009, 10:42 AM does this mean someone won a vacant title and defended against nobodys?? I'm reading it as had the most title shots without ever winning a title. MANGLER 10-28-2009, 10:47 AM Andrew Golota comes to mind. Bundana 10-28-2009, 11:42 AM Just to clear up any confusion: The question is: who engaged in the most world title bouts, without EVER recording a win (in title bouts or non-title bouts) over someone who, at one time or another, held a world title. In other words: Yaqui Lopez can not be a candidate, since he holds a win over Mike Rossman.

Bundana, You'll have to forgive me I'm obviously being dense here, but you're asking basically who fought the most past or present world champions without ever recording a win over them then? Bundana 10-28-2009, 12:38 PM No, GJC... not really! You might THINK, this is in fact what we are looking for... but it could also be someone who won a vacant title and made several defences. Without ever scoring a win over a world champ! |
