Which boxing record will be broken first?

[Tony Trick-Pony]

Either Pac's or Armstrong's. It's just too easy to win titles now. There's a gabillion of them.

And still no one can even come close to achieved it.

How about the youngest lineal champion at the age of 19. Is there anyone in the past upto present other than pac who had achieved it?

Great OP question. The first record to fall, I think, will be Foreman's oldest HW champion (45.)

-- Fighters today fight less often, so less wear and tear.
-- The HW class is the most forgiving to oldsters
-- The other records are all freakish.

The second record to fall will be Armstrong's, since today belts and titles are such common gimcracks.

Wlad could come back and win the hw 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

Right. So many things would have to come together to get practically a teenage HW to fight a champ. The promoter would have to own everyone involved. If he won a belt he’d be exposed to all the other champs after. Waiting and building up fights seems to be the precedent these days. Props to Mike.

Your exact words were " they didnt fight in NYC duh "

That tells me you thought it was a regional title so I simply explained this to you . When did I ever say that champs didnt take stay busy fights or say that the middle title was on the line for henry to win ?? I didnt I just gave u the knowledge u clearly lacked to explain what the title was .

- -It was a regional title promoted as a world title.

U trying to Dum me down to U slug level ain't working.

Wasnt Benitez 17 when he won the lineal / wba championships from Cervantes?

Indeed Benitez is the youngest Lineal champ in history.

You list Pac's 8 divisions world titles but then when someone says Canelo hold 3 world titles in different divisions you say doesnt count because not from the original 8 divisions.

At least be consistent. Either the original 8 divisions matter or they dont.

8 divisions is a joke.....neither he nor margarito were even ranked in the top ten at 154 and it was at a catch weight
