The single greatest accomplishment in boxing history

Benitez was world-ranked by age 15, how insane is that?

Think about that. The kid was a freshman or sophmore in high school and wasn't just one of the toughest kids in school, but one of the toughest men in the world. That is sick!

Julio Cesar Chavez 27 consecutive Title defenses

when jack johnson fought jeffers, the whole crown was chanting "kill the ******"
and jack johson beat him, was the first black HW champ.

Im sure there were plenty who were calling out racial names. I know Jim Corbett was one of them. But I've read the book "Unforgivable blackness" and don't recall the whole crown chanting it. Do you have a source for this?

Great Portuguese food in Fall River. Use to go there when I lived in East Providence.

benitez's accomplishment is better than tysons, wilfred won it from an ATG in cervantes at age 17

tyson won it off berbick at age 20 (still impressive, but not as good)

id put benitez up there
id put duran taking leonards WW title
armstrong winning 3 titles
ali taking his title from foreman

Another good one would be Saensak Muangsurin winning the WBC 140 world title in only his third pro fight. Earliest title fight won in boxings history.
