I wasn't sure on this so had to look up a few people on boxrec. My first guess was Wlad, who has beat everyone since his win vs DaVarryl Williamson in October 2004. Also checked Kell Brook, who turned pro with a win one month before that against a guy with 189 losses.
But the two longest runs I could find were Cuenca (who most people know or at least gets discussed on here sometimes, remember when he was supposed to fight JMM?) who turned pro 13 years ago. 48-0, 2 KOs. Beast.
The second longest is a guy called Sirimongkol Singwancha. 86-2 record, last in action 2 weeks ago. He was WBC bantamweight champ in the 90s and then WBC SFW champ years later, losing his belt in 2003 to Jesus Chavez. Some things I noticed on his record: in 2005 he fought a WBC lightweight title eliminator, winning by KO. If you think the WBC have ****ed GGG around, that's nothing as this guy is still waiting for his shot 10 years on.
Also, according to boxrec, one of his opponents was in a car crash on his way to weigh in and suffered a broken nose, but was forced to go through with the fight
When he was 60-2 he fought a guy who was 0-2 and had been inactive for 6 years. Then fought him again 2 months later. Then he went 18 months without a fight and came back to face the same guy again, who then retired with a 0-5 record.
Anyway, is there anyone I'm missing? I checked quite a few long-reigning champs and no one else has 10+ years undefeated.
