Most impressive

[QueensburyRules]

What is the most impressive feat on this list?

Manny Pacquiao winning titles in 8weigh classes?

Henry Armstrong holing the featherweight, lightweight and welterweight championships simultaneously?

Willie Pep going 134-1-1 before losing to Saddler?

George Foreman regaining the heavyweight title at 45?

Harry Greb going 45-0 in 1919 with wins over 12 hall of fame fighters from middleweight to heavyweight?

- - Manny easy. Holds every Ring P4P record that counts for anything in spite of Ring being run by Oscar who hated Arum.

Then l'l floydy ducking Manny that caused a mental breakdown where he busts up his baby mama to serve 6 months in jail. l'l floydy was never the same, but Haymon was and kept him protected until retirement at his own venue with his own commish, drug testing, refs, and judges.

Well championships are always relative to the competition. And one Armstrong was fighting there was a lot of really strong fighters. I guess I would say that was the one.

I Don't want to turn your good thread in any direction by adding more choices; but the story of French great Eugène Criqui always inspired the crap outta me!

Agreed on Ivich. And your most impressive line reminds me of the Empire Strikes Back line by Darth Vader "Impresiiiiive, but you are not a Jedi yet" lol.

Just an insane year!!

[Tatabanya]

Each one is impressive but - gun to head - I'd pick Willie Pep.

I mean,136 fights - in what, eight years? - without losing but ONE fight. It's almost inhuman.

Bundana once put this into perspective by writing that this single year was better than Floyd Mayweathers entire career.

Bundana once put this into perspective by writing that this single year was better than Floyd Mayweathers entire career.

Battling Nelson and Bundana - 2 of my favorites.

On that point, I'd have to say that it's Razor close!
Look at some of those name on there!!!

Yeah nothing can contend with this

second for me is armstrong doing what he did in an era of much fewer weight classes and titles.
