    Who would have the best resume if you changed all their losses and draws to wins?

    Suspend your disbelief as far as BoxerA wouldn't have fought BoxerB if he beat Boxer C.

    Keep it to at least 1960-present

    Some contenders:
    Kevin Kelly
    Shane Mosley
    Joe Frazier
    Juan Laporte
    Oscar De La Hoya
    Julio Cesar Chavez
    Juan Manuel Marquez
    Bennie Briscoe
    Glen Johnson
    Roberto Duran

    Luis Manuel Rodriguez would have wins over Griffith multiple times, Benvenuti past his best weight etc alongside his already ridiculously stacked resume. He would then be a top 20 fighter all time IMO.

    From that era Briscoe would be a waaaaay better choice IMO. He would have multiple wins vs Monzon, Griffith, Rodriguez + a win vs Hagler! Which would put him as probably the GOAT not just top 20

    Duran aside from his lightweight reign beats SRL x 3, Benitez, Hearns and Hagler. Not bad.

    Ali's would be quite a bit better

    Others not mentioned:

    Chavez
    Pacquaio
    Barklay

    Not the top but Emmauel Augustus would have some resume.

    Weird question. I would say Roberto Duran. How do you match Leonard, Hearns, Benitez, Hagler,Barkley, Cuevas, Palomino, Buchanan etc etc.

    From that list? Oscar (wins over Floyd, Manny, Trinidad, Mosley, Hopkins) and Duran (wins over Hearns, Benitez and Hagler to add to his existing wins over Leonard, Palomino, Buchanan, Marcel and DeJesus) stand out straightaway.

    Joe Grim would look pretty good on that basis!

    Jose Luis Ramirez with wins vs Rosario x2, Whitaker x2, Chavez, Camacho, Arguello and Mancini I think takes the cake.

    Angott
    Moore
    Meehan

    But from this list, Duran, Oscar and maybe Mosley are the stand outs.
