Who has the greatest record for Championship bouts?

[RAESAAD]

He wasn't very good for the sport of boxing. I don't think it was actually him that was corrupt, but there was a lot of corruption surrounding him. (He could sell 25,000 seats and 19 million tv viewers in Germany EVERYTIME he fought).

Obviously, when he's generating that kind of money for people... They are gonna do everything in their power to insure Ottke holds onto those belts!

He was a boring fighter, his career ended at: - 34-0-0 (6 ko's), that just about explains how exciting he was to watch.

Well at least he is gone now......6 KOs in 34 fights and was'nt he a SMW that is pretty bad.

Yep... He was a boring boring fighter.

I saw JCC was like 32-4 in title fights.

[Brother Mouzone]

its not the record for the most title defenses overall any div ...but the most impresive to me is wilfredo gomez 17 straight title defense wins by k.o at jr. featherweight which is a record that still stands today ..

No one knows who has the best overall record for title fights?

[The Fix]

Sven Ottke 22 defenses of IBF Super Middleweight Title.

i met roy jones and he is a good guy, he doesnt have security and will take a picture with anyone who asks. imo far from a jerk.

chris eubank? sven ottke? are you ****ing joking?

joe louis holds the record of ANY division, of ANY belt, longest reign and most successful consecutive title defenses 25 straight wins over 11 years and 9 months.

[lesterprettyboy]

Its Julio Chavez.As mentioned above, JCC was 32-4 in his title fights...That is the standing record for most championship fights won.

Here is your answer......
Larry Holmes holds the distinction today (2005) of being the longest-reigning World Heavyweight Champion in boxing history (1978-1985), second only to Joe Louis. Larry defended his title twenty consecutive times (all-in-all, fighting a total of 26 title bouts throughout his career). He held the record for 48 straight wins, next to boxing legend Rocky Marciano.

Holmes fought a 3-round exhibition with Ron McCarthy at the Boutwell Auditorium in Birmingham, AL (2004-1-16)

Thanks, but I wasnt looking for the longest reign, the best record. Maybe I should have been more specific. I saw someone's post up higher that it is Chavez' record of 32-4. Thanks for everyone's help.
