In PRO sports, to go undefeated is a very rare achievement. It is only achieved by the greatest of greats. It is the epitome of excellence, because it showcases pure dominance of one’s profession. It’s not built from luck or chance, no nepotism or favoritism.
If you know of any other undefeated champions in the sports world, please list them
PBF Andre Ward Joe Calzaghe Michael Jordan Joe Montana. Arsenal Miami Dolphins

>assume criteria has to be at least 3 finals/SBs?
These men went undefeated and are therefore the greatest of greats, the epitome of excellence and dominated their profession unlike losers like Dan Marino, Donovan McNabb, Fran Tarkenton, John Elway, etc.
Ken Stabler 1-0 Jeff Hostetler 1-0 Mark Rypien 1-0 Trent Dilfer 1-0 Brad Johnson 1-0 Eli Manning 2-0

I see the 72 dolphins. Maybe some of these other folks had full on undefeated seasons. Or even like Comets situation where they started the WNBA with 4 titles.
Besides that, losing before the finals is still losing. Ignoring that is willful ignorance. I know it’s 2021 and being knowingly and absurdly wrong about stuff in Murrica has been normalized but c’mon now.

The list itself contains several different definitions of undefeated itself. Some are people who never lost a game/match/fight in their career, a few are teams with an undefeated season, and then there are players who never lost a title game/series, even though they lost before the finals more times than not and even in their title seasons lost multiple times throughout the regular season (as well as games in the playoffs/finals for MJ).
So I guess Aaron Rodgers belongs in the "Land of Undefeated Champions" because one year he took a 10-6 team to the Super Bowl and won, while never getting back. Or Eli for going 2-0 in the SB with 10-6 and 9-7 squads.
Brady winning really made this dude furious, illogical and even more wrong than usual.

As if these arbitrary, nonsense qualifiers are universally known haha.

According to your new rule ("It’s about being undefeated after becoming a champion" -Reply 19) Joe Montana doesn't make the cut. He won the SB for the 1981 season then proceeded to lose 5 of the next 6 seasons. Wow! What a loser, right!??!

You could actually probably pick the best team - ymmv - out of those late 80's/early 90's Sacchi/Capello squads and have an incredibly strong candidate for best club side of all time.
22. "Where's the smoking gun?" In response to Reply # 12
For serious, I'm all eyes and all ears if you have one regarding this squad specifically.
Because otherwise, Capello's Milan is the gold standard for the premise of this post. Arsenal was more recent and done in the EPL, so naturally, people will think of them first. But Milan won a higher % of their games, had a better goal differential, and most importantly bossed a Serie A that was in the midst of its run as arguably the GOAT league - and certainly a much stronger one than the EPL in '04. They would also probably roll Arsenal if they lined up, which is crazy because that Gunners side was INCREDIBLE.

Granted Rocky beat a lot of Jabronis in local fights for the majority of his career, but it counts. He retired champ!
Nice shoehorning of Jordan and Montana into the discussion. I ask again.... why does losing earlier in the playoffs not count? Should we throw Brees and Rodgers on this list?
17. "RE: Marciano and Mayweather" In response to Reply # 6
Also, I would like to add. Think of it as 2 levels
1. Those teams and players who ran the table as being undefeated for a season or a career.
2. And those who were and are undefeated in championships. They never lost a championship that they played in, and it is more in relation to star players or players who are/were number 1 or 2 options. Not some bench player or short usage role player. And there must be 3 or more championship appearances in a single era.
