ATG Fighters Who Had A Brief/Short Title Reign?

[Southpaw16BF]

Well??????

I'll start with Jimmy Mclarnin. Who never defended his Welterweight Title.

[Jim Jeffries]

Sam Langford.

[Southpaw Stinger]

George Foreman....

[mhager91490]

Luis Manuel Rodriguez

[Sugarj]

Jersey Joe Walcott

[StarshipTrooper]

Sonny Liston

[CarlosG815]

define brief. 1 fight is without a doubt brief, but some consider a 2 3 or 4 year reign brief.

[Jim Jeffries]

I was going to say Jess Willard, but how in the hell did he go almost 3 years before Dempsey without a defense?
