    Most title defenses of ANY belt?

    Including the meaningless titles, what is the most amount of defenses of a title?

    I found this guy who has 38 defenses, but it's of the WBF Super Flyweight title against utter rubbish opposition.

        It almost looks like that guy in that picture is being held up by Larry Merchant.

                  And he never lost at SuperBantam. His three losses were at Feather (to Salvador
                  Sanchez and Azumah Nelson) and SuperFeather (to Alfredo Layne). He had a string of something like 39 KOs at 122. He debuted with a draw, but went on to rack up those consecutive stoppages that was interrupted only when he tried to step up to Featherweight and was stopped by Salvador Sanchez in the 8th round. By then he already had 31 consecutive KO/TKO victories. He went back to SuperBantam after the defeat to pick up where he left off and registered 8 more stoppages, then wrested the WBC Featherweight title from Juan La Porte by UD. He lost that title to Azumah Nelson in his first defense, but went up to Jr. Light to take the WBA version from Rocky Lockridge in his next fight. He lost the WBA title to Alfredo Layne in his next appearance, then fought twice more (once and Light and another at Welter), knocked out both of his opponents, before bidding the sport good-bye.

                  He finished his career at 44 Ws with 42 stoppages, alongside those three losses mentioned. Only Lockridge and La La Porte went the full route with him.

                  Incredible record in any era. Truly amazing.

                    Ricardo Lopez I think defended his WBC Minimumweight belt 22 times before moving up a weight division, winning the IBF title, & defended that twice before retiring undefeated
                    (although there was technical draw on his record)

                    Undoubtedly one of the greatest, & longest reigning champs.
