My data are arranged somewhat differently, but overall top 5 placings:
Levrone 62
V. Taylor 53
Coleman 51
Cormier 50
no one else has reach 50 yet.
Some men have competed in 13 contests within a year but I have not broken down top 5 among those specific years.
But I happen to be working on top 5 data currently as I have time.
So far, the longest consecutive string of top 5 placings is tied bewteen Coleman and Levrone at 34, and considering many pros never reach a total of 34 contests, and even if they do, do not manage top 5, and add in that many pros are very selective/limiting about how many contests to enter, it may be this string of 34 may stand forever.
I am continuing to research this.
