    Interesting question to ponder.

    What fighters do you consider great that never beat a fellow great?

    Ricardo Lopez is a good candidate for this one, as I know more then a few here think very highly of him.

    How about Jimmy Wilde?

    Khaosai Galaxy? Khaokor Galaxy?

    Pernell Whitaker (technically speaking, of course, since I did score the Chavez and DLH fights in his favor but for some reason the judges didn't see it Pernell's way)

    Saldivar was pretty much shot by the time Jofre beat him. Jofre was past his best as well, fighting above his natural weight, so I'd still consider it a good win. Just not a great one. There's no doubting Saldivar's all time great status, however.

    All true points, but the state of the fighter isn't what I'm asking here, to clarify.

    Simply fighters that never beat a great fighter, period.
