Now there's other names sprinkled in there but he once had a 4 fight streak with his opponent's combined record was 0-1-0.
Haha, look at some of his opponents' names:
Nimrod Daniel
Manot Comput.
A lot of ATG fighters fought through dozens of mismatches as stay-busy fights to earn a check in between big fights. They weren't trying to pad their record so much as earn a paycheck and stay in fighting shape. Robinson, Moore, Pep, while in their prime were fighting a lot of novices and no-hopers in between title fights. Back when there were a lot more live local venues.
I always thought Hopkins did a fair amount of padding while he was chasing Monzon's title defense record at middleweight. Sven Ottke's entire career was padded.
You cannot fight the very best comp more than a few times a year the old timers you mentioned fought a few times a month in some stretches can only do that with cans, at the end of the day a 30 to 60 fight modern record from a top fighter is equal to the 100s fought by those guys, wasnt it Joe Louis who had the bum a mth moniker.

Too many vs debut guys, or guys with less than 10 Ws imho.
Those kinds of stay busy fights would not be tolerated now :lol1:
Of all time, Archie Moore 186 - 23 (7 GKTFO) - 10 D; 132 ko's
Modern time, Buck Smith 179 - 20 (9 GKTFO) - 2 - 25 NC; 120 ko's
I'd say JCC is the most famous modern fighter with a dubious resume.

BoxRec: Abel Mendoza
Not updated on boxrec yet but is 41-0 after a win over a guy with 70 losses at the weekend.
I wonder what nationality this guy is.
I'm not even going to check. Waste of time

BoxRec: Chris Davies this guy is 17-0, all his opponents have losing records. His last opponent was 3-20, his next opponent is 4-95.
Maybe the plan is to stay at that level until randomly being named IBF mandatory. Could work.
Prince Patel has to be up there.
Some of the Thai fighters too, there was one Rigo fought who was like 60-2, hadn’t beat anyone, Rigo iced him inside a round. I believe Ponce De Leon also beat him inside 1.
Ali Raymi and Chris Lovejoy also deserve a mention.
