Ko Streak Record !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[BuddyChacon]

Geoff, if that is true about Benn then I imagine his record is pretty safe, at least as far as Lamar Clark is concerned. Some people might look at those "KO" listings and think he ten counted all those guys, but then again, those same people are probably not aware that a "TKO" listed on a fighter's record is a relative new thing (remember those old KO Magazine pinups when they first came around, with the fighters record on the back...all stoppages were listed as KO's) that has only come to be in the last 20 years or so...

Unless somebody has gone back and researched Clark's bout-by-bout career since then, which I doubt, it's likely that his record was just brought forth from an old listing...

"There simply isn't such a thing as a technical knockout and THE RING, in making up its records, and in printing them for our readers monthly, take cognizance of that point and record it as a K.O." - Nat Fleischer

Clark would have bettered Mugabi, and also, if I'm not mistaken, I think Billy Fox has the record for consecutive KO's/TKO's to begin a career.

Fox had like 44 or so I believe which is better than Pimental and Clark.

Mugabi might be post-war for that. I'm not sure. Mugabi definitely has some kind of record though, unless my source (which I can't even remember right now, I'll have to look) is wrong.

Ruben Olivaras and Carlos Zarate have long ko streaks. I think Olivaras had the record for ko streak, but both these guys ko'd a **** load of people, i remember them holding some kind of record. Alfonzo Zamora had a good ko streek too. So did Wilfredo Gomez, all his title defence at jr. featherweight i beilve were by ko.

His competition was at a very low level, no wonder...

WOW Muhammad ali beat him in only his 5th pro fight

[LoftyDog]

Wow, before his first loss he was 44-0 with 43 straight KO's. But the surprising part is the long list of bums he fought, not his record.

[GEOFFHAYES]

Yeah he fought novices man.

[Easy-E]

Wow, before his first loss he was 44-0 with 43 straight KO's. But the surprising part is the long list of bums he fought, not his record.

In those 44 fights, his opponents had a total of 6 wins!

[Piggu]

But he fought n00bs.

[prince21]

Maybe????????????

This streak occurred way before boxrec was invented or even the internet, maybe those are the records of fights accounted for, its not like all of their fights were televised.
