I won a bantamweight division record sixteen consecutive title defenses before moving up a weight class and then losing for only the second time in my career. Who am I?

Orlando Canizales

Ok here's one: Born in 1972, I won a WBO world title and made several defences, before moving up to beat one of the champions of the weight class above me. I only had one more fight after that, a one-sided decision win. I ended my career undefeated.

Oh, and I'm not Joe Calzaghe.

"I used to hit the gym with Sammy Gravano, we had some intense workouts.. I even tried to get him not to turn on the mob." Who am I?

Alright I have to get back to work, so let me try to stump the field:

I never fought in the Olympics, but my world title reign began by knocking out one Gold medalist. Another Gold medalist ended my reign, but to me he was nothing but a sissy, and ran for his life in the last round of our fight.

Aaron 'Superman' Davis.

That running in the last round thing gave it away, I hadn't seen Taylor run away like that before.
