Can You Ever See There Being A Boxer Who Breaks ALL The Records?

[LockardTheGOAT]

And I don't mean financially (or at least, I don't mean just that), I'm talking mostly records set in the ring as a fighter. Things like:

-Youngest champion ever
-Oldest champion ever
-Most victories
-Most consecutive rounds won in a row
-Number of titles won
-Titles won across the most weight classes
-Quickest KO
-Quickest KO in a title fight
-Number of champions or former world champions you've beaten

Etc., etc.

Floyd Mayweather has pretty much all the records relating to $$$$ but only a couple related to boxing - He's defeated the most champions (including former champions) in history and punch stats probably favor him for having the highest hit and defense percentage per ratio the number of times he fought, but he doesn't have anything close to all the records in the ring. It would be awesome to see someone literally conquer it all in boxing one day.

I can't see that happening, esp the youngest and oldest champ, Tyson was the youngest champion but he was past his best at the age of 30, lots of wear and tear

[Willy Wanker]

In theory, yes.

However, I have a hard time seeing any fighter beat Benitez's record for the youngest champion (he would have to be from a country where you can turn pro before 17) and to also stay relevant long enough to be the oldest champion over 30 years later.

Seriously, anyone who can beat those records and the ones in the OP would have to be the true greatest of all-time, hands down.

Manny having being your savior sent by the Lord Jesus christ could do it with his powers given to him by the Lord but he choose not to do because he is a humble man and didn't want to break anyone's will by setting the bar so up high to heavens.

Hard to see anyone having 128 victories like Sugar Ray Robinson did either. It's still cool to think about, though. I agree such a person would be the undisputed GOAT if they were to ever exist.

Youngest champion ever: Wilfred Benitez - 17y3m

Oldest champion ever: Bernard Hopkins - won at 48y53d, lost at 49y,297d

Most victories: Willie Pep - 229-11-1

Most consecutive rounds won in a row: I'm not sure how you wouldn't judge this...judges are under no obligation to release their scorecards if a fight gets stopped due to finish...so, again, maybe they were ahead on the cards, maybe not, hard to say.

Number of titles won: Honestly don't know who holds this record, it's probably May, due to competing in an era where there are numerous titles at each weight class, and having moved through a number of weight classes...and having bizzare jump to title sanctioning in some instances...

Titles won across the most weight classes: Manny won titles in what 8 classes? That has to be a record...of course a lot of those weight classes didn't exist even a few decades ago, so pinch of salt there.

Quickest KO: Unless I hear otherwise, I think it's Phil Williams KOing Brandon Burke in 1 second...the ref waved the fight done at around 3 seconds...I can't remember what the official time was listed as.

Quickest KO in a title fight: I think Daniel Jimenez KOing Hararl Geier in 17 seconds.

Number of champions or former world champions you've beaten: Ugh, I don't know who it is, maybe Mayweather, maybe Chavez, either way...

Do I think anyone is going to beat ALL those records? No. No way. No way in hell. No way in a frozen over hell. First of all, nobody is going to have the number of fights Willie Pep had in today's boxing scene. Especially not if they are winning World Titles at 17, they would be protected, and not going out there fighting gym **** 4 times a month. To stretch your career from title at 17 to title at roughly 50? Laughable. I personally think there is a pretty decent chance no one ever beats Hopkins's oldest champion record. As I said, no way to track who won the most consecutive rounds, too many stoppages, too much debate without having official judges' scorecards. Most titles? Yeah sure someone else might come along, but I think WAY more impressive than most titles won is most successful title defenses. THAT would be a record worth being recognized for. Someone beats Manny's 8 division record? Yeah, maybe. If it's up to the alphabets, I'm sure they'd like to crown a champion at every single pound difference, so who knows what he future holds there. Can't really beat a 1 second KO, and winning a title in under 17 seconds would be a tough ask in today's world. And the last, beaten former champions, again, I don't think anyone officially tracks that...maybe...but who knows...

Records are made to be broken but some records are damn hard to break. Hopkins winning a world title at such an old age will be a very hard record to break. Benitez winning a world title at 17 years old will probably stay the record for a very long time. J.C. Chavez going over 80 fights with no losses or draws will also be hard to top.

[KillaCamNZ]

Anything is possible, as long as none of the records contradict or cancel others.

Then again, it's like saying a bloke getting 500 hits in a baseball season is possible - theoretically yes, practically no.
