    Interesting note. These are the combined average records for the listed fighters' opponents. Rematches are combined as though they are separate opponents. Anything that is .45 or higher is rounded up, and .44 is rounded down.

    Manny Pacquiao (57-5-2)
    Total: 1663-275-63
    Average: 26-4-1
    W/L ratio: 11.4
    W/L ratio of opponents: 6.5

    Oscar Dela Hoya (39-6)
    Total: 1547-124-45
    Average: 34-3-1
    W/L ratio: 6.5
    W/L ratio of opponents: 11.3

    Floyd Mayweather (47-0)
    Total: 1307-203-40
    Average: 28-4-1
    W/L ratio: 47
    W/L ratio of opponents: 7

    Kell Brook (33-0)
    Total: 663-919-63
    Average: 20-28-2
    W/L ratio: 33
    W/L ration of opponents: 0.7

    Amir Khan (29-3)
    Total: 754-162-23
    Average: 24-5-1

    W/L ratio: 9.6
    W/L ratio of opponents: 4.8

    Gennedy Golovkin (31-0)
    Total: 579-162-29
    Average: 19-5-1
    W/L ratio: 31
    W/L ratio of opponents: 3.8

    Andre Ward (27-0)
    Total: 471-72-14
    Average: 17-3-1
    W/L ratio: 27
    W/L ratio of opponents: 6

    Sergey Kovalev (27-0-1)
    Total: 374-140-16
    Average: 13-5-1
    W/L ratio: 27
    W/L ratio of opponents: 2.6

    We all know stats don't tell the whole story, but going by STATS ALONE, these are the fighters that I listed that have fought the best opposition through out their entire career:

    1. Oscar De La Hoya
    2. Floyd Mayweather
    3. Manny Pacquiao
    4. Andre Ward
    5. Amir Khan
    6. Gennedy Golovkin
    7. Sergey Kovalev
    8. Kell Brook

    I'm a stats guy so I find this stuff interesting.

    Pac's "Mexicutioner" run is better than anything that Floyd has done.

    I forgot Hopkins, and Oscar did lose a lot. But this is who fought better opposition, not beat them. And it's only based on record alone so it doesn't stand as final judgement.

    For what it's worth I thought it would be worth including 2 promising young fighters-
    Naoya Inoue (7-0, 6)
    Total: 124-26-10
    Average: 18-4-1
    W/L ratio: 7-0
    W/L ratio of opponents: 4.5

    Kosei Tanaka (4-0, 2)
    Total:59-17-4
    Average:15-4-1
    W/L Ratio: 4
    W/L ratio of opponents:3.75

    And possibly the best for this thing, Vasyl Lomachenko (3-1, 1)
    Total: 141-16-2
    Average: 35-4
    W/L Ratio: 3
    W/L of opponents: 8.8
