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

[RastaSmoker]

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

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.

Miguel Cotto is right up there too.

Wow , I wonder why he is not as famous?

I was thinking SRR...I'll check his record out!

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.

ok if your dumb enough to think that me saying Cotto was serious please slap yourself. it's called being sarcastic.

cant really add anything other than robinson and pep

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.
