Most deceiving title defense streaks

[jrosales13]

Cazares was a top 10 in the division.

He's talking about Calderon run at 105. Hence 11 title defenses at minimumweight. Cazares was the lineal champ at 108.

so even more credit to Calderon maybe?

calzaghe 8 out of 21 title defenses against top 10 ranked opponents
ottke 9 out of 21 title defenses against top 10 ranked opponents

who were those 16 opponents and what have they done?calzaghe gets aloty of flak for lacy not doin anything after losing to calzaghe so what did any of those fighters do that hopkins beat?hopkins and calzaghe are mirror images of eachother 2 fighters that dominated ****ty divisions but i guess since hopkins is american he gets more credit for doin the same thing calzaghe did

Hopkins beat Lipsey, Jackson, Allen, Echols, Echols, Holmes, Trinidad, Daniels, Joppy, Allen, DLH and Eastman. All top ten. So I dont think you could include him on this list.

He just fought in a really weak division.

I think a case can be made any 'record reign' made without full claim to the title from jump is deceiving to some degree.

if calzaghe is an all time great then you agree sven ottke, omar narveaz and zsolt erdei are as well?

[Elotero]

What about Khaosai Galaxy ?, 19 defenses at Flyweight and they was all against nobodies, his promoters kept him in Thailand in a stacked division at the time and didn't pit him against any of them.

Isn't that whats happening with Pongsaklek Wongjongkam right now?

very true.

thats why I singled out some of the more deceiving ones.

[Weebler I]

he actually fought 8 top 10 rated guys. manfredo was in the top 10 so that shows you just how crappy that division was. 8 out of 21 defenses. pathetic. i mean all time great.

calzaghe also never unified with the other long reigning champ in the division sven ottke. both guys racked up 21 title defenses in the same exact division at the same exact time. how is that possible!

1999. 1. sven ottke 2. joe calzaghe
2000. 1. sven ottke 2. joe calzaghe
2001. 1. sven ottke 2. joe calzaghe
2002. 1. joe calzaghe 2. sven ottke
2003. 1. joe calzaghe 2. sven ottke

lol daggum, you really hate the guy. What did ole Joey do that was so bad? were you a big B-Hop, Lacy or RJJ fan?
