    no goldstein doesnt count if he didnt go in the hall as a fighter I should clarify how many hall of fame fighters were beaten not guys who are in the hall in general.

    canelo is not in the hall and neither is pacquaio, neither is cotto, and oscar ,shane and marquez were 300 years old when floyd beat em
    also gatti shouldnt be in the hall period ! (he is in it but there was no justification for it )

    I think about all of that stuff floyd has more wins against hall of fame opposition than packey mcfarland but I think packey is a different level (peaks , beating bigger opponents etc are also my factors) division hopping or beating guys who were dominant in multiple divisions , and why throw out a guy getting a win against a guy if he lost 5 or 6 times , Like if you were a boxer who got 1 or 2 wins against harry greb (loughran) thats more than can be said about hall of famers who never beat Greb (jeff smith ,battling levinksy etc) archie moore never beat ezzard , joey maxim never beat ezzard , burley never did , Marshall managed to beat him taht counts , Foreman ,liston , couldnt beat ali, frazier managed to that counts !

    Thanks for your cutting edge viewpoint, which I hadn’t considered.

    Now get yourself banned.

    interesting to note decent top 5s usually look like this

    Greb (14 hall of famers beaten
    Langford (10 hall of famers beaten)
    Ray robinson (10 hall of famers beaten
    armstrong 11 hall of famers beaten
    Charles (8 beaten) or Benny Leonard (7 hall of famers beaten)
    even if you threw Ali (7 hall of famers or Joe louis (8 hall of famers beaten ) instead of charles or benny leonard it all lines up!

    Larkin is not a member of the IBHOF - but Benny Bass is, which makes it 11 for Armstrong.
