Wilfredo Gomez at 122 had 17 defenses of his title, all of them by KO.

Sugar Ray Robinson also had an unbeaten pro mark of 98 wins and only one loss to a heavier by 15 pounds Jake Lamotta that will never be broken!!!!
Robinson won the Middleweight title a record 5 times!!!!
Sugar Ray Robinson beat the Lightweieght champ (Sammy Angott), the Welterweight champ, the middleweight champ (Jake Lamotta) and only the heat (over a 100 degrees) stopped him from beating the Lightheavyweight champ (Joey Maxim)!!!!

Now, I realize the reason why my late father said Joe Louis was better than Ali.

nice read.

i think pacman's 7 titles in 7 divisions is gonna be a new record that will last for a while. i think it it stands longer than a manny vs floyd profit record. a exciting american heavyweight that comes along can have somewhat of a good chance to break a revenue record set by manny & floyd.

By Lee Groves - It has often been written that records are made to be broken. On many levels that sentiment rings true because the most ambitious people use these benchmarks to push themselves toward perfection.

Not all records are created equal, however, because some standards are simply unapproachable.

In baseball, pitching standards such as Cy Young’s 511 victories, Nolan Ryan’s 5,714 strikeouts and Walter Johnson’s 110 complete game shutouts will last forever because most starters today will never rack up enough starts, innings – or pitches, for that matter.

Johnny Vander Meer’s back-to-back no-hitters will never be surpassed because one would have to hurl three in a row to beat it.

On the hitter’s side of the plate, Ty Cobb’s .367 lifetime batting average, Pete Rose’s 4,256 hits and Joe DiMaggio’s 56-game hitting streak are equally elusive marks. In terms of stick-to-itiveness, Cal Ripken’s 2,632 consecutive games played stands alone.

In NBA annals, Wilt Chamberlain’s 100-point game, 55-rebound outing and 50.4 yearly scoring average will never be approached. Of Wayne Gretzky’s 61 NHL records, his 2,856 points, 1,982 assists, 51-game point-scoring streak and single-season marks of 92 goals and 215 points are locks to survive. [Click Here To Read More]
