  • Who do you feel has the most impressive record of all time

    If i had to pick i would say Young Stribling. His record was 239-14-14 with 127 KOs . The thing that is most impressive to me is that he did this all in 12 years. Unfortunatly he was killed in 1933 in a motorcycle crash. If you do the math thats 1 fight every 17 days on average.

    # of fights per year

    1921 25 fights
    1922 34 fights
    1923 28 fights
    1924 35 fights
    1925 33 fights
    1926 17 fights
    1927 22 fights
    1928 40 fights
    1929 21 fights
    1930 10 fights
    1931 5 fights
    1932 13 fights
    1933 4 fights

    Those old boys were something else
    Two of the best candidates for impressive records are Ted 'Kid' Lewis 229-42-18 & Willie Pep 230-11-1. I don't know who's record is the best but those are crazy numbers.

            Are you ****in kidding me. You actually said cotto. What in the hell were you thinking. We just named off three guys with over 200 wins and you say Cotto. I hope for your sake that other members dont read that and relize what a complete idiot you are. YOU ACTUALLY SAID COTTO?

              One of the things about Young Stribling was that he was known to fix fights. Maybe thats why he wasnt so popular.

                    When you factor in the big difference in quality of opposition, I'll gladly take Harry Greb's record over Young Stribling's anyday.

                    Greb was also said to have had about 100 pro fights that haven't yet been recorded (I think some will get added eventually when discovered through newspaper research and whatnot), but out of the ones we do know, what's 299 fights divided by 13 years? Math's not exactly my strong suit, but that activity rate would seem to be very close to what Stribling's is...if not slightly higher.
