How are you Richard ?, -I WENT THRU My Ring mags 1959-79 and wrote down and researched all the contender and championship heavyweight matches that I seen , i'm sure i'm missing some, albeit great way to figure out a fighter's career record against the top ten . so Far nobody touches Ali's 32-5 w/ 20 Knockouts and he was 32-3.

IF YOU HAVE 10 CAREER VICTORIES VS THE TOP TEN, YOUR HALL OF FAME CALIBER FOR THE 60'S AND 70'S.

 

your absolutely right. Muhammad Ali seems like he looked at the top ten lists, and fought them all
