Julio Cesar Chavez. The main Mexican fighter to make the rundown! Chavez verged on getting to 100 battles without losing definitively, however he missed the mark. He just lost 6 episodes of 116 and when you consider the level of resistance he confronted it truly is an unbelievable accomplishment. Victimized people included: Meldrick Taylor, Hector Camacho, and Floyd May weather.

Consistency is another factor that falls into play. Though Mike Tyson reigned for 3 solid years, he never went on to win a great heavyweight who happened to be in their peak. It is thus critical to appreciate that prize fighting dates back to Ancient Greece and has evolved with time. Fighters in the 18th and 19th century often fought 20 to 30 times annually. This statistic is crucial when compiling a top list. The list below is thus a boxing contest and not a popularity one.

Archie Moore is on record with the highest number of ring knock outs (131).

Barney defeated Jimmy McLarnin among other legendary.

Harry Greb. Harry was the main man to beat Gene Tunney and it was in excess of 15 rounds for Tunneys light heavyweight title so it positively was no fluke. In the four ensuing rematches Greb would lose to Tunney however he would happen from this to battle at middleweight- his characteristic weight and win the world title. Sadly he passed on at the young age of 24, it was after his passing when individuals acknowledged how incredible he had been.

Muhammad Ali. To put it basically, he was the best heavyweight ever. Ali presumably had the best button and heart in the diversion. George Foreman, Sonny Liston, Joe Frazier, Floyd Patterson, Ken Norton, Jimmy Ellis and Leon Spinks all lost to Ali.
