------->BOXING world RECORDS<--------

[Fighting Cougar]

Lopez had a draw and I don't think they count it as a successful title defense.. therefore his streak was broken.

Patterson did not unify at 20, he won the title at 21 which was later surpassed by Tyson

They counted it in some places im not sure if in all them. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ricardo_Lopez I read it in the third paragraph.

JCChavez also holds the record for most title bouts.

The most significant heavy records are Tyson, Foreman, and Louis. Those will never be broken.

Youngest world champ was Wilfredo Benitez, age 17.5

Holy has "regained" the title, what, 5x? Snicker.....

Valuev has never been KDed.

Bob Fitzsimmons actually started off as a welter and was the first man to hold titles in 3 different full divisions, middle, lh, and heavy.

Ali has more controversial title fights than anyone in history.

Tyson has sold the most PPVs and actually earned more $ than Oscar in the ring.

Archie Moore has the most KOs.

Vitali has the highest KO%, 92% of any of the world champs.

Jimmy Barry, the Little Tiger has the most bouts of a retired champion without a defeat, 70.

That's great stuff!

Thanks... I'll add some of it (in blue) to the top post as well.

Even though Tyson made more money in some of his fights... DLH is regarded as the ritchest boxer

I think Foreman's record is beatable...
Holy may still have a chance if he fights a guy like Maskaev or Briggs / Ibragimov (maybe even Valuev)

Patterson first ever man to regain the heavyweight title, he was also the youngest world heavyweight champ, tyson was the youngest to own one of the belts.

i belive Gene Tunney was the first to receive a $1million purse in his return fight with dempsey.

andrew kid thunder hartley is the first boxer on having a right punch that sounds like a thunder (the thunder strike), and the first boxer on having a jap instead of a jab
