Classic Forum! Let us decide on the Best 10 Resumes in History!

A few more that deserve serious consideration:

Jimmy McLarnin
Tony Canzoneri
Barney Ross
Sammy Angott
Lou Ambers
Fritzie Zivic

 

Duran should be there. The guy's resume (as well as skill and achievements) is incredible .

 

Most of the guys I mentioned above have far superior paper resumes than someone like Duran. McLarnin is criminally underrated in general. He ought to be at least a top 25-30 ATG on most lists.

 

Duran, B. Leonard, Armstrong.

 

Jimmy McLarnin: 54-11-3

W: Benny Leonard, Barney Ross, Tony Canzoneri, Lou Ambers, Young Corbet III, Pancho Villa, Billy Petrolle X2, Bud Taylor, Fidel LaBarba X2, Sammy Mandell X2, Sammy Fuller, Joe Glick X3, Jackie Fields, Sergeant Sammy Baker, Ruby Goldstein, Al Singer, Ray Miller, Sid Terris, Billy Wallace, Louis Kaplan, Young Jack Thompson, Stanislaus Loayza, Tommy Cello, Frankie Dolan, etc.

L: Barney Ross X2, Tony Canzoneri, Bud Taylor X2, Billy Petrolle, Sammy Mandell, Lou Brouillard, Ray Miller, Doc Snell

D: Memphis Pal Moore, Fidel LaBarba, Tommy Cello

 

Also, guys like Holman Williams and Lloyd Marshall belong, particularly Williams, whose resume outstripes Burley's IMO and is up there with the likes of Archie Moore.

 

I just logged in now and Sweet Pea beat me to McLarnin.

 

greb has a great resume...but i think he is no match to hagler, hopkins or robinson prime for prime

 

Joe Calzaghe?

 

Not completely in order, and off the top of my head:

Harry Greb
Sam Langford
Henry Armstrong
Barney Ross
Jimmy McLarnin
Ray Robinson
Ezzard Charles
Muhammad Ali
Eder Jofre
Manny Pacquiao: I believe Marquez won the rematch, but it is hard to count Manny out when looking at the official results.

 

Rekcutnevets, Pacquiao is surpassing Pea in your view now or what? resume wise

cheers

 

No one has mentioned BILLY CONN?? :shock:

Check out THIS resume:

Tony Zale
Fred Apostoli (twice)
Gus Lesnevich (twice)
Melio Bettina (twice)
Teddy Yarosz (twice)
Fritzie Zivic
Solly Kreiger (twice)
Babe Risko
Vince Dundee
Young Corbett III
Bob Pastor
Oscar Rankins
...among others.

And if we look at losses too, well... I don't think I need to explain that.

 

No order
