    Jimmy Wilde longest unbeaten streak: 103 fights

    Armstrong most titles held concurrently in different weight classes (3)--he almost made 4 when challenging Ceferino Garcia to a controversial draw for the middleweight title.
    First of all, I don't think Mike Tyson's record will ever be beaten. The next least likely for me is Wilde's unbeaten streak, simply because fighters don't fight as much nowadays. The Pacquiao and Armstrong records, I also don't see them being beaten anytime soon.

    However, the records by Foreman and Hopkins seem achievable to beat. E.g. if Shannon Briggs had fought Charles Martin for the IBF in 2016, that seems feasible that he could've won that, and Briggs would've been 44 at the time. As for Hopkins, what we are seeing now is elongated lifespans, where we are getting better at keeping healthy for longer, I can see a very dedicated and defensively-minded boxer being able to go longer, given all the technological (and chemical!) advances that we have. It's the Foreman record that will be broken first imo

        I doubt any of those records will be broken for a very long time.

          Most likely going to be an oldest heavyweight champion because fighters today are in much better athletic shape and Klitschko can come back still and be a top 3 fighter easily.

          I don’t see the other records getting broken in my lifetime.

            Yer dumb.
            - -Pt 1: Never said 3 Canelo titles is 4, U implied it on U own.

            Pt2: Matters to the OP I answered to, not U.

            Pt 3: It was a combination answer that still rings true.

            Pt 4: U can't spell DUM.

            Yer welcome!

              Probably the Foreman record.

              Vitali could probably still come out of retirement tomorrow and beat AJ or Wilder. Certainly could beat Charles Martin or Parker who have all held belts recently.

                Imagine being that much of a fanboy you just start making up imaginary records😂😂😂 What a f***ing idiot...

                Garcia was NYSAC Middleweight champion as well hence why it was billed for the Middleweight title.

                    Pretty sure it was Armstrong who had previously beaten him for the Welterweight title.

                    A lot of su****ious activity surrounding the Middleweight title fight, some good action, Garcia hurts Armstrong several times but Armstrong’s consistent bob and weave pressure definitely won him more than 5 rounds based on what I’ve seen and read. The judge/ref (Something Blake) never judged or refereed again after the fight and there were rumblings in the media the bout would be scored a draw before the first bell even rung.
