    By this logic, Marion Wilson and Ross Puritty may have the greatest modern day resumes of any HW.

    Well, even the difference between meaning a journeyman in U.S, Continental europe and U.K is impressive.

    Since Chisora had British and Commonwealth titles, looks that also had fought for or had international, intercontinental, euro belts.
    Then he had fought also with ppl who were known and had well known and important tittles.

    I think he is above high level journeyman or low or medium level gate keeper and below champions level.
    Looks something like this.
    He likes me, unlike xx top boxers he does not need x months talks before fight is contracted and fight date is scheduled.
    Really not top 5 but he is rarity in modern era pro boxing.

    Having a great résumé doesn’t mean you’re a great fighter, I think people are getting these twisted.

    It's not so much about winning or losing. It's about having the guts to take the toughest fights. If all boxers had this attitude, boxing would be much better.

    His best win in his entire career is Euro level Takam. His next best win is probably David Price, and all of the others are pure domestic level.

    Going by this logic, Raphael Zumbano Love and Tomas Mrazek have great records.

    He's lost 1/4 of his professional fights............I just can't consider that as a "great" resume. He's definitely a rough/tumble all out warrior. But in my eyes a "great" resume means you won some of the big ones. If you got to the game, and lost all the biggest ones, multiple times..............not so much.
