Best & Worst Heavyweight records by their 20th fight

[Poppo168]

Post some Heavyweight records that are good by their 20th fight. A lot of modern day heavyweights seem to get chit for their records not being strong by their 20th fight. Looking through heavyweight legends in history it's hard to find many with good records by that point in their career.

I'll post some later, In work currently.

Things are different today. Boxers used to fight as much as 6 times a year. Today they rarely fight more than twice a year. They get to be contenders with fewer fights. If they waited until they had 40 pro fights on their record they would be old men. Today's boxers also turn pro at an older age. Mexican boxers are the exception to the rule. They start young and fight often like Canelo.

Helenius... Chisora, Peter, Liahkovich & Brewster by 17 fights... By 20 fights you can also add in journeymen Sherman Williams, Sprott, *****ko & Oloukun... Helenius was on the path to stardom until he hurt himself in the Chisora fight. He is still trying to get back into contention since then...

Holyfield in his 7th pro hw fight became undisputed heavyweight champ.

Helenius KO'd 3 former champs, best record? Has anyone ever KO'd 3 former champs and not get a title fight?

those guys were all completely shot. also there are 4 champs in every division now so its a little different. they are tossing belts around like a hot potato.

Sure they had seen better days but still nice names on the resume at the time. Duhaupas & Chisora ain't duds. Both are tough SOBs...
