Terry Marsh.

Why is he always forgotten when it comes to undefeated champs/titlists, even the Ring has forgotten him on two occaisons, even though they remembered some asian fighter from the early 80's :huh

Don't know why really, but he was pretty forgettable as a fighter. People remember him more for his alleged involvement in the shooting of ****** than his ability in the ring.

Do you mean undefeated throughout their whole career or just undefeated during their reigns?
Throughout their entire careers,sorry .

Because boxing quite rightly would like to wipe him out of their history, he was not the nicest person to ever step in the ring; ask Frank ******... allegedly;)

Jimmy Carruthers retired as undefeated Bantamweight champion but made an unsuccessful comeback seven years later and it was goodbye to his 0,so I don't know if he counts.

Paul Spadafora retired undefeated, but returned to the ring again. Still undefeated though.

A few more, depending on the definition of "champ": Sven Ottke, Ricardo Lopez, Harry Simon (although, evidently, he's come out of retirement), Ji Won Kim

Being an undefeated alphabet champion is a verry small acolade compared to being an undefeated lineal champion.

Then you would have to include Ricardo Lopez in that group, since he more or unified at straweight, in addition to garning a title at jr. lightweight.
