    No idea how many fights they had as they’re practically prehistoric, but Barney Aaron and his son Young Barney Aaron are both Hall of Famers so I figured I’d throw them into the mix as a guess.

    I might have been bumping the thread so that the OP, who apparently vanished, will actually give the answer.

    A fun and unexpected answer - but Young Aaron only fought one HOFer, Arthur Chambers (which I'm sure, you're well aware of).

    I did know he fought Chambers but wasn’t sure if he’d fought any others.

    Ok then, the man we're looking for is Bobby Britton, son of Jack, with fights against 5 HOFers: Fritzie Zivic, Cocoa Kid, Wesley Ramey, Lew Jenkins and Petey Sarron

    Bobby flies way under the radar. First I heard of him.

    That was my next guess!

    (Actually that’s a complete lie, but thanks for giving us the answer that had everyone stumped.)
