Depends on how one approaches the record. First, important to note, the record is consecutive defenses. Overall defenses, I think, belongs to Chavez for all of boxing. As lineal champ, he's 21 from tying and 22 from breaking. As just IBF champ, he's 14 from tying and 15 from breaking.
Considering he fights about 2 times a year, sometimes 1, that puts him about seven years and change from the mark. That's barring injury and a desire to do something else in life.
The odds are heavily stacked against.
