Who has the BEST RESUME of the past 20 years?

And if you take into account the fact he avenged his only two loses. It makes for a pretty solid resume.

 

My pick is Evander Holyfield

Reasons for pick:

Evander Holyfield - Record 42W 10L 2D 27KO's(Won 2 WBC 6 WBA 4 IBF) titles 1 Ring Championship Belt in 2 weight divisions,
Wins over Mike Tyson, Riddick Bowe, Dwight Muhammad Qawi, James Buster Douglas, George Foreman, Larry Holmes, Michael Moorer, Carlos DeLeon, Pinklon Thomas, Michael Dokes, Ray Mercer, Hasim Rahman,

7 of his 10 losses were after the age of 37 was nearly always outweighed against his opponents was past his best (was 37 and had many wars) when he Drew (Gift) and Lossed to Lennox Lewis who was a fresher and naturally much bigger man. Overall one of the greatest fighters of all time who is very underated.

Thoughts,

 

You don't win 10 World Titles by losing all your big fights, **** for brains :roll:

 

joe calzage lololololol hahahahahaha oj guys dont slay me

 

Koki Kameda

 

****!!!
Where's Valuev???

Since there wasn't Valuev I had to go with Holy!!!
He had EVERYTHING in the toughest divisions at it's best times!!!!!!!!

 

so what the **** was pac's best wins against? Spring chickens:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl

Get the **** out of here

 

Hopkins

 

Na just ****ing with you I think Delahoya has the best resume as I stated earlier in a few posts.

 

Pacquiao's resume is amazing. He retired 3 of the greatest boxers in the history of the sport and hatton.

 

Going purely on victories and keeping the victories in perspective, it has to be Bernard Hopkins for me.

Pavlik - Younger, was expected to destroyed Bernard. Pitched a shutout.
Tarver - Bigger, fresher, was expected to dominate Bernard
Winky - One of the best fighters on the planet at the time
Oscar De La Hoya - not prime, not shot. First time ever stopped.
Glen Johnson - Only person to have ever stopped the man
Trinidad - pitched a shut out, was expected to lose also.

Oscar if your going purely by names.

P.S - Erik Morales has an amazing resume. Marco Antonio Barrera (prime), Manny Pacquiao (prime), Jesus Chavez, Carlos Hernandez, Junior Jones, Daniel Zaragoza, In Jin Chi.

 

Who do you think has the best resume of the past 20 years then, and don't say Roy Jones Jr.

 

Pretty sure I said combination of wins over fighters combined with overall level of fighter fought- if you don't take each into account, it's easy to take the entire career out of proper context.

As for why I say Oscar's resume is way beyond Hopkins, it's simple:

Oscar fought and beat more champions and better champions.
Oscar fought and beat better contenders.
Oscar fought in deeper, more talented weight classes.
Oscar fought the best fighters at their best weights much more often than Hopkins did.

I'd love for people making the case for Hopkins to argue against the 4 statements I made above. Not to be a dick, but because I honestly would like to see it made because I think anyone who goes through the research to compare the two will wind up appreciating Hoya's resume more even if they're too stubborn to admit Oscar's is better.

And finally- Even with all that considered, Oscar's only lost one more fight than Hopkins did.

 

I think Morales has a better resume than Lennox Lewis. You still have to consider at what point in their careers the opponents were at when they fought them. Barrera and Pacquiao were both prime when Morales beat them, and Jones, In Jin Chi, Hernandez, and Chavez were all world champions.
