Prior to Floyd Mayweather hitting 50-0, it was the legendary boxer, Rocky Marciano who had the best win-loss record with 49-0. When Mayweather entered the ring with Conor McGregor at 49-0, everything changed.
Mayweather is famous for his timing, slowly picking apart his opponent with small and precise moves. His “stick and move,” a highly defensive style is what landed him in the history books for boxing. While many tried, no one could defeat him and he remains one of the greatest to this day.
Bob Beamon The Super Jumper
The U.S. Olympian Bob Beamon set the long jump distance record at the 1968 Olympics in Mexico City when he hit 29 feet and 2 1/2-inch for the long jump. It took another 23 years before Beamon’s mark was beaten by Mike Powell who set a new record of 29 feet and 4 1/4 inches at the World Championships in Athletics in Tokyo in 1991.
While that wasn't an Olympic jump, the furthest long jump at the 2012 London Games was achieved by UK's Greg Rutherford who managed a rather insignificant 27 feet and three inches.
The Base Thief
To steal a base in baseball is a science. Pitchers study every runner's movement and the catcher makes sure to closely observe those who like to creep away from their base. But Rickey Henderson didn't worry about any of that.
With 1,406 career stolen bases. Today's active players who are attempting to break that record haven't even reached 800 stolen bases. This record is safe with Henderson.
The Record-Breaking Losing streak
During the 1970s, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers arrived in the NFL in a terrible state. In their first year, they lost every single game. The following year they lost another 12, making them the team with the longest losing streak in history.
It's no easy feat to lose 26 games. You have to be on another level of bad for that to happen. Needless to say, the coach was fired and two leads later they , managed to turn things around. They made it to the NFC championship but then lost to the Rams.
Daryl Sittler Scored Six Goals In One Game
This hall of Famer holds the latest record for most NHL goals scored in one game. Daryl Sittler, who at the time was up against the Boston Bruins in 1976, scored six goals and four assists. That rookie goalie must have been completely crushed and will probably never recover.
During pre-NHL times, in 1920, "Phantom Joe" Malone scored seven goals in one game. But in the modern NHL gaming, even with the new weight on scoring, it's still hard to get a hat trick (three goals).
