A great example of this is Lennox Lewis. Beaten everyone he faced, avenged all blemishes on his record. Personally I find this more impressive, says more about the character of a man than just avoiding tests and remaining unbeaten.
Who are some other examples of top, top boxers who aren't unbeaten but have beaten everyone they've faced and avenged any blemishes?
Also, where do you draw the line? Example; Lee Selby lost to Samir Mouneimne in his fifth fight. Since then Lee has come a long way and Samir failed to make it past British and Commonwealth level. Would a voluntary title defense for Selby in order to avenge the loss be a bit excessive?
Another one is Amir Khan vs. Breidis Prescott. Prescott is now 30-9 (22 KO) and a bit of a journeyman. The rematch could easily sell in Bolton if Amir wanted a tuneup. I think it says a lot about the frailness of a boxers mentality when they won't even entertain the idea of a rematch.
