    Foreman Frazer, not that Frazer is superior, but the fact is I think the worst first career Foreman likely beats the best Frazer 9 out 10 times at least.

    Liston - Patterson
    Frazier - Ali
    Norton - Ali
    Duran - Leonard

    just off top of my head, vary9ing degrees of "numberness" but each of them I'd favour to win during the optimal time in the available timelines.

    Not only did Duran not have Leonard's number, he also didn't beat him more than once. Not only that, but infact Leonard beat Duran more than once. Not only did he beat him, he made him quit.

    I know he deserves a mention, but damn bro!

    admittedly im biased but danny green could fight the corpse of roy jones and win 10 times in a row. doesn't mean he has his number

    the one time tarver fought a remotely functioning jones, he dropped a clear decision

    True. A lot of guys beat Roy Jones now but 10 years ago I doubt it. Especially Hopkins.

    Greg Page had two. George Chaplin beat him twice when he was officially undefeated, but the fix was in both times, and Chaplin didn't have the power to take Greg out.

    Later though, Mark Wills did take out Page twice. (I'd like to know what the official scoring was at the end of both matches.)

    Mario Maldonado defeated Buster Drayton twice. Maldonado is best remembered for putting Tony Ayala on the deck for what was far more than a flash knockdown. He was the only man to beat Drayton more than once, the second time after Buster shocked Clint Jackson in two.
