Has this happened before?

[Bundana]

For tomorrow's world title bout between Terence Crawford and Viktor Postol in Las Vegas, the fighters will enter the ring with identical 28-0-0 records.

Can you think of other such cases... where the two combatants in world title fights had exactly the same records?

No, but I noticed a related coincidence the other night. For their rematch in New Orleans, Leonard's record was 27-0-1, Duran's 72-0-1.

Yep - and even the number of knockouts was the same, as they were both 23(16)-0-0.

There may be other such examples... but off the top of my head, I can't think of any.

Pacquiao (54-4-2 38 ko) vs Marquez (54-6-1 39 ko) - 2012

[ahas]

not exactly identical, but both undefeated, so:

Ricky Hatton (43-0) VS Floyd Mayweather Jr (38-0)
December 8, 2007

[TBear]

Not exact but close,

Roberto Duran 41-1 vs. Esteban De Jesus 42-1

Their second match.
