Names that look good on a fighters resume...

Despite that fighters much lower rating in a historical sense.

Like Iran Barkley. Not a bad name to have a W against on anyones record, and high end boxers never really did stop trying to get wins over him even late into his career.

Whether he was 25 or 45 a W against Ray Robinson does your resume no harm.

McGrain · 08-14-2007, 04:53 AM

Though he was faded, Holman Williams is a nice scalp for LaMotta and Cerdan to have.

Gatti is not a great fighter in the historical sense, but anyone with a win over him has a notable scalp.

You'd also be doing yourself no harm in earning a win over Ward.

Roy William comes to mind, and in the same vein, Earnie Shavers. Both pretty avoided 70's guys.

Ali....Not bad having the greatest on your win list..

bagman · 08-14-2007, 07:20 AM

Zab Judah

Henry Cooper's victory over a prime Zora Folley comes to mind...

I will say fernando vargas..

Dont consider him a great boxer,overrated in my opinion.Still very handy to have him on your win list..

Shavers, Lyle, and Roy "Tiger" Williams aren't bad names to have on your record with a "W".

garymcfall · 08-14-2007, 07:35 PM

Tua
Ruddock
Shavers
Lyle

for the heavies

eh for featherweights wayne mcculloch and scott harrison would look good on the resume even though they werent great fighters

Lex · 08-14-2007, 07:54 PM

Either Quarry brother.

Ron Lyle.

Yvon Durelle.

Everett " Big foot " Martin. Everyone else had him in their W column, why would you want to feel left out.
