    Holyfield has a record (44-10-2) that may shock some, but much of his defeats came long after he had any business in the ring. Walcott is another good name, it’s too bad there will be many fans who glance at his record and shrug him off.

    Quite a few had double digit losses. That would kill a guys career now.

    I think Baer, Schmeling and Sharkey rate decently above Braddock

    Accomplishment wise def Johnson and Holyfield but they picked up a lot of Losses late in their career.
    Charles, Walcott split it and Baer a close third. As they won the belt after accumulating some losses already
