    Oh, you mean great fighters who didn't fight that many other great fighters and have a record full of bums? By the title I assumed you meant guys like Salido who are better fighters than their win loss record reflects.

    I have to take issue with you placing Roy Jones up there with Vitali and Wlad Klitschko, because even though he got fat on a diet of bums, he also faced James Toney and Bernard Hopkins as a young man. Also, does Vitali belong on that list with his brother considering that he fought Lennox Lewis? One other thing about Jones. Even though he didn't fight an all time great heavyweight in John Ruiz, John Ruiz was at least a good heavyweight, and the fact that Jones went up in weight as much as he did made it a worthwhile challenge of his abilities, the same as it was for Toney and Duran and other weight climbers. To me, fighting a good fighter two weights up is the equivalent of fighting a great fighter at your natural weight.

    I don't think he is comparing their resumes, he is saying relative to their boxing ability their resumes could be better.

    Roy Jones has a good resume but ability wise there isn't many that are better, yet there is many likely less talented fighters who have greater resumes.

    Jones has a resume with some top fighters on so at least you could argue it does reflect his ability

    Where as the vitali and wlad clearly are a million miles away from that so don't even try to find an excuse to compare them in any way it just doesn't hold water

    Floyd Mayweather.

    Floyd has a good resume, but there are some names that are missing from it.
