I think being undefeated is overrated. Many heavyweights could have had a zero on their record.
Sulivan
Jeffries
Larry Holmes could have been 48-0

Marciano was great, but shouldnt be overrated because he didnt lose. He only has 7 title defenses (I think)

Marciano had six title defenses (seven title fights).

You are right, Marciano cannot be considered to have the most impressive record of all time. He had a great record sure, but 49 fights is just not enough compared to Pep, Robinson and so forth.

I think Durans is fairly impressive. 104-16 (69ko's).

Len Wickwar

Just for sheer volume, there was a British Lightweight from the 1930's by the name of Len Wickwar, whose acknowledged as having the records for both number of professional wins and number of professional fights. You guys can look it up for yourselves, but the numbers are close to 350(wins) and 450(fights) respectively.

Len was my great uncle and had a few more fights than are registered. He also had fights in Belgium, Holland etc, which although very easy to get to now were quite a trek then. A couple of promoters came across to watch him and asked if he'd like to go back to the states with them but Lens Dad wouldnt let him go as they couldnt afford to lose the money that he brought into the house each week.

was he mainly a booth fighter yogi?

Len wasnt a booth fighter at all. He fought in small Halls all over Britain (some in europe). He once fought Freddie Miller (world champ at the time) in non title fight in front of what was said to be 20,000+ people. Also u have to take into the account that he had a break of 5 years in his career due to the war

No one's mentioned Eder Jofre. He retired with a record of 72-2-4, with 50 KO's. The only guy he couldn't beat was Fighting Harada, at a time when Jofre was bantamweight champ and apparently had problems making weight. He retired after the second loss to Harada, then came back after a two year hiatus to win all 25 of his comeback fights, winning the featherweight title in the process at age 37. Fought until he was 40, which was saying something then, especially for a smaller-weight fighter. The guy was amazing.
