    8. Joe Louis (25 sucsessful heavyweight defences - record in any weight class)

    9. Eder Jofre (Greatest bantamweight of all time)

    T. Willie Pep (Greatest featherweight ever - revolutionized defensive boxing)

    Honourable mentions: Marvin hagler, Pernel Whitiker, Archie Moore, Sandy Saddler, Benny leonard, Ricardo Lopez, Jimmy Wilde, Carlos Monzon, Julio Cesar Chavez, Fighting Harada, Stanley Ketchel, Gene Tunney, Salvador Sanchez, Bernard Hopkins
