In the new era or the old era? Boxing belts and classes have changed a lot over the years. So you can't equally compare old era boxers with new era boxers.

Joe Lewis, and Larry Holmes had very long title defenses for years and years defending the world championship

[Iron_Man]

20 times
Larry Holmes reigned as world heavyweight boxing champion from June 1978 to September 1985. Holmes successfully defended his title twenty times, more than any heavyweight champion except Joe Louis.

[Iron_Man]

25 times
After the war, Louis won four more fights — two against Jersey Joe Walcott — and retired. He had defended his title 25 times, another record, and only three of those bouts went the distance.

Rocky Marciano. He never lost a heavyweight fight. 49-0.
