All-Time Records
Waiting for the next Tunney or Dempsey fight (and dealing with these UTBA trade offers), so I thought I would post the all-time Universe records, regardless of weight class, headed into 1917:
Number of Bouts
Jewey Cooke 91
Young Griffo 90
Joe Walcott 89
Jack Johnson 88
Tommy Ryan 86 Johnson the only one still active, now at End career stage.
Number of Wins
Young Griffo 75
Tommy Ryan
and Jack Johnson tied at 73
Peter Jackson
and Jewey Cooke tied at 65 Johnson still active, Attell gaining on last 2
Number of KOs
Tommy Ryan 60
NP Jack Dempsey 55
Peter Jackson 54
Jack Johnson 51
Jack McAuliffe 49 again, only Johnson still active
Consecutive Wins
NP Jack Dempsey
and Jack McAuliffe (tied) 45
Jimmy Barry 41
Young Griffo 31
Peter Jackson 30
Consecutive KOs
Jack McAuliffe 21
Jack Dempsey 18
Bob Fitzsimmons
and Tommy Ryan (tied) 17
Harry Wills
and Joe Choynski (tied) 16
Dempsey and Wills still active, but their streaks are not. Dempsey came close to the all-time record, but he did set the record for HWs before being forced to go the distance (and held to a draw) in his 19th bout after 18 KOs in a row.
