Bo11ocks. I'll get my coat

I'm convinced the longest win streak was JC Chavez?

by Scottrf Fri 05 Aug 2011, 12:48 pm

I thought it was, not confusing with longest unbeaten streak of Wilde?

by Imperial Ghosty Fri 05 Aug 2011, 12:48 pm

3 is definitely Briggs who overtook Dempseys record of 26 a couple of years back.
6. longest winning streak must be the mighty atom Jimmy Wilde with 103 I believe

by **HumanWindmill** Fri 05 Aug 2011, 1:06 pm

Seem to remember reading, ages ago that some fella called Pedro with a second name which sounded like ' Caracas ' ( but that wasn't the name, ) held the record with 83 straight wins.

Half a point for ' Pedro ' and 83 ?

by coxy0001 Fri 05 Aug 2011, 1:07 pm

Ah 3 is Briggs, missed that one

Rest are all wrong. Wrong wrong wrong.

by Scottrf Fri 05 Aug 2011, 1:10 pm

Na Windy, Chavez went 87-0.

by **HumanWindmill** Fri 05 Aug 2011, 1:12 pm

So he did, Scott. For some reason I had it in mind that Chavez' run stopped at 81.

We live and learn. Thanks, mate.

by Imperial Ghosty Fri 05 Aug 2011, 1:19 pm

Shortest reach is Marciano not Dempsey as well

7. De La Hoya vs Hopkins

by coxy0001 Fri 05 Aug 2011, 1:51 pm

Updated

I screwed up the wording of the Wilde question, meant to say undefeated streak... which he has @ 103 (chavez was winning streak)

Correct! 1978 believe it or not, took me a while to google the answer to the question... i would've had it around the 40s/50s.

I think we had worked that out alma!

by Imperial Ghosty Fri 05 Aug 2011, 3:52 pm

I didn't think about undercards which would in fact make it Victor Martinez against Armando Cordova.

by coxy0001 Fri 05 Aug 2011, 3:59 pm

Not that it really counted by i forgot the "for a world title" part in the question.... Don't blame me, i know i've let you all down - i was in a rush.

Not that anyone was near prior to The Window Smasher

by Mind the windows Tino. Fri 05 Aug 2011, 4:01 pm

I knew exactly what you meant Coxy.

Just ignore these heathens.
