What boxing record you think will never be broken?

[KillaMane26]

Mike Tyson youngest HW title
Manny division titles
Manny/Marquez 4 KO of year, Round of year, Fight of the year

[colorado]

Rocky Marciano's 49 and 0 record with 43 KOs. Man had arms as short as a TRex and still got inside and punished some very good heavyweights.

Wait til VR boxing is a thing & guys are fighting every weekend, multiple fights a night. Mfers will have a hundred fights a year easy.

Are you joking? im confused

What actually amazes me is how he was KOed 5 times only when he lost 279 freaking times.

He's a club fighter who faces debut guys in 4 round fights lol


check out his nickname.

Wilfred Benitez - youngest champion in boxing history (17 years old).

People like this dude are an important part of the sport. He provided good rounds and experience for countless prospects. He would have fought so often to provide regular paychecks for his family. And he was only stopped 5 times in nearly 300 fights. That is impressive. It is so rare to find someone who has fought that many times nowadays.

From an armchair fan's perspective, you might think this guy is funny or a loser. From a fighter's/trainer's perspective, you want this guy around the gym for tips and advice based on his massive experience. And i bet he could fight a hell of a lot better than you'd expect.

I think you took this a bit too serious. It was just a fun way to start the thread

I think Kristian Laight's record is impossible to break. Just look at his stats. I wonder what could keep a guy going after even 30 losses

No ko wins in that many fights is also ''commendable''

Will we ever see a Heavyweight get to 50-0? Brian Nielsen 49-0, Rocky Marciano 49-0, Larry Holmes 48-0. I’m 33 years old I hope in my lifetime I see a heavyweight make it to 50-0. Nielsen and Marciano so close!

Well, Wilder got to 44-0 or something like that without facing any good opposition so it's technically feasible. But I don't think any true boxing fan would recognize such a record if it's carefully engineered by avoiding formidable opponents

TBE's (not The Best Ever) perfection...

People keep bringing up Kristian Laight as someone to mock, but the reason he kept at it despite all the losses was that it was all part of the plan for him. He was the very essence of a professional journeyman, letting the prospects look good without getting hurt so he could do the same thing the next week. For any up-and-comer around that weight class, fighting him was kind of a right of passage. There was a chapter on him in a book about UK journeymen that I read, definitely an interesting read. The author's called Mark Turley if anyone's interested in reading for themselves.

Anywho, to stay on topic for the thread: I don't think any fighter's ever going to make as much money as Mayweather did again.
