    I always thought Hopkins did a fair amount of padding while he was chasing Monzon's title defense record at middleweight. Sven Ottke's entire career was padded.
    Too many vs debut guys, or guys with less than 10 Ws imho.
    Those kinds of stay busy fights would not be tolerated now

      You cannot fight the very best comp more than a few times a year the old timers you mentioned fought a few times a month in some stretches can only do that with cans, at the end of the day a 30 to 60 fight modern record from a top fighter is equal to the 100s fought by those guys, wasnt it Joe Louis who had the bum a mth moniker.

        Now there's other names sprinkled in there but he once had a 4 fight streak with his opponent's combined record was 0-1-0.
        Haha, look at some of his opponents' names:

        Nimrod Daniel

        Manot Comput.
