Name some boxing records

[Luigi1985]

For example, the heaviest HW- fight of all times was, when King Kong Butterbean faced Godzilla Siciliano, or the most KO´s scored Archie Moore, the smallest HW-champ was the 5´7- Burns, etc.

I reckon the fullness of time, it will be shown Wilde scored more KO's than Moore...

But anyway to continue:

The Youngest Heavyweight Champion of the World: Floyd Patterson

The Youngest World Champion: Benny Leonard

The Oldest World Champion: Archie Moore

Longest confirmed KO Streak: Lamar Clark (43)

Only man to win three Lonsdale belts: Sir 'enry Cooper

Moore´s KO´s are all surely reported, with Wilde, a fighter from so long ago, isn´t, some sources state this, others that, I don´t know which is right...

[GazOC]

Shortest reach for a HW champ - marciano
Only HW never to score a 1st round KO - Willard


BTW has the biggest weight difference in a HW title fight changed with Valuev? It used to be Carnera-Loughran? Or the most combined weight in a HW title fight?

The most combinated weight is Valuev- McCline, Valuev weighed over 320 lbs and Jameel ca. 270 lbs...


Foreman had the biggest bicepse, a 20-inch one (Carnera and Wladimir only 18.5)... :D because you said it with the reach, I know it from almost every part of the body from the HW- champs... :lol:

You were right in the first place Moore is the right answer, but I think in time there is enough research being done about Wilde, that one day it will be proven he scored more KO's than the old Mongooses proven record (I suspect Archie scored more;) as well) of 127 odd.

Yeah, but it´s really difficult to prove how many KO´s a fighter like Wilde (who´s career is so long ago) finally and surely scored...


:good

[cross_trainer]

Most impressive moustache -- John L. Sullivan

Most bareknuckle fights (rumored) -- Dutch Sam with over 100

Smallest heavyweight champion -- Tom Sayers (152 lbs.)

Strongest professional boxer -- Paul Anderson (champion weightlifter, record 2-1)

First boxing rules -- Broughton's Rules (1743, I believe)

First mouthguards -- Early 20th century (don't remember the exact date)

Last bareknuckle world championship -- Sullivan/Kilrain

Last bareknuckle match for a championship of some sort -- Smith/Slavin

[Drew101]

Most number of successful title defenses in a one year period: 11, Henry Armstrong (Jan 10, 1939 to Jan 4, 1940)

[Marciano Frazier]

You were right in the first place Moore is the right answer, but I think in time there is enough research being done about Wilde, that one day it will be proven he scored more KO's than the old Mongooses proven record (I suspect Archie scored more;) as well) of 127 odd. Moore has 131 knockouts listed on boxrec, and I've heard him listed with as many as 145. Wilde, on the other hand, has only 99 listed at the present time- he has a lot of catching up to do if he wants the all-time record.

Langford is a more serious rival to Moore for that knockout record, I'd say- he has only one less knockout(130) listed on boxrec at the moment.

The youngest world champion wasn't Benny Leonard, it was Wilfred Benitez. He was 17 years old and 6 months when he won the WBA light-welterweight title against Cervantes. And that hasn't been checked, its off the top of my head. Not too sure if the age was precise, but he was only 17 years old.

[Robbi]

The first referee to officiate world title fights in every weight division: Stanley Christodoulou.

The oldest fighter to win the heavyweight championship: George Foreman (45). Maybe 44.

The record for the most consecutive heavyweight world title fights won inside the distance: Larry Holmes, 8.

The first brothers to hold world titles at the same time in the same division. Gaby and Orlando Ganizales.

[Senya13]

Heavyweight champion of America who didn't score a single win in his career - John Camel Heenan.

[Senya13]

First boxing rules -- Broughton's Rules (1743, I believe)
As the title of the rules says:

Rules to be observed in all Battles on the Stage, as agreed to by several Gentlemen at Mr. Broughton's, August 16, 1743.

Benitez won alphabet crap, he was never THE World Champion in a weight division. He may of been the youngest titlist, although my claim beats him by three years, so perhaps I was the youngest titlist?

[TBooze]

Tommy Burns holds the record if you do not rate alphabet crap. He had eight consecutive stoppage wins of THE World Championship. Holmes best with THE Championship is four.

[Senya13]

In 1910-1920's some world champions were also called just title-holders, who weren't thought to be much. Even though there was one just champion title claimant per weight and linear/lineal shit and all that.

Alphabet crap was around then as well. Europe, America, Britain and Australia sometimes rated different world title holders...

[Senya13]

Such as? A couple of examples from 1910's?

[ozziebattler]

The youngest heavyweight champ used to be Floyd patterson,but as all should know its mike tyson...

How could one get that wrong..

[Jack Dempsey]

No, it´s not Mike Tyson. Mike just won a belt not the Championship. He became champion when he beat Spinks and then he was older than Floyd.

Exactly I had this same discussion with a guy in the lounge, Tyson was a few months older than Patterson when he beat Spinks, He's the youngest ever HW titlist, not Lineal champ

Shortest fight, as the man comes out of his corner, he steps on his shoe lace and falls on his head. No punch thrown..Riplies Believe it or Not.

according to cyberzone boxing, benitez was the linear 140 and welterweight champ.

Only man to win three Lonsdale belts: Sir 'enry Cooperi thought it was wilfredo benitez

[TBooze]

Lineage at Welterweight finished at the latest with Robinson; at 140lbs it finished in the 20s. Lineage in the boxing meaning is just another form of alphabet crap, used to confuse people IMO.

[TBooze]

i thought it was wilfredo benitez

Benitez was a titlist not THE World Champion

[Vantage_West]

benitez youngest world champion :good

[C. M. Clay II]

No, it´s not Mike Tyson. Mike just won a belt not the Championship. He became champion when he beat Spinks and then he was older than Floyd.

Actually, Tyson unified when he beat Tony Tucker, and even then he was still younger than Floyd Patterson.:good

Are you inferring that Holmes was never the 'World Heavyweight champion'?

Why not? I fhe refuses to fight a mandatory, then I don't see what's wrong with that.

And Ali retired in '79, and Holmes was the only constant after, so yes he was the champ, IMO.

So jose napoles is not a linear welerweight champ? I mean he lost to stracy and stracey lost to palomino. Benitez beats palomino and therefore becomes a linear champ.

[RoccoMarciano]

No, it´s not Mike Tyson. Mike just won a belt not the Championship. He became champion when he beat Spinks and then he was older than Floyd.

Good job of pointing that out!

[C. M. Clay II]

Now look at post #32.

Boxing has put a spin on lineage. The line of reigns from 1888 was broken a long time before Napoles got on the scene. Boxing lineage is a form of alphabet crap in that it has no defind rules so people make them up to suit their own needs and point of view.
