Fighters who beat multiple top ten ATG types for their weight division

Holyfield beat Holmes, Foreman, Tyson, Bowe but only drew with Lennox lewis. Not sure if Qawi or DeLeon would qualify in the cruiserweight category, as i guess it would depend on whether or not those from earlier generations (before title was invented) qualified. I would say they probably wouldnt, otherwise his record would take some beating. Also, i have seen Michael Moorer listed in the occassinal light heavyweight top 10, although i wouldnt have him there.

 

Greb at middle has flowers and Walker

Greb at light heavy has rosenbloom, Loughran, Tunney

 

Sugar Ray Robinson: Henry Armstrong, Kid Gavilan

Willie Pep/Sandy Saddler at featherweight.

 

Robinson, Harry Greb and Ezzard Charles might be the only guys with a win over a Top 10 pound-for-pound great (Armstrong/Walker/Moore).

 

the maths is against many people getting the chance to do this.

leonard beat hearns and duran(depends how you feel about duran at ww)

lewis beat tyson and hollyfield (and i'm sure someones got vitali on a list)

johnson beat jeffries and fitz/langford

 

Ali- beat Frazier, Norton, Foreman, Liston
Foreman- beat Frazier, Norton
Holmes- beat Ali, Norton
Lewis- beat Holyfield, Tyson, Vitali Klitschko
Holyfield- beat Holmes, Foreman, Tyson, Bowe

Greb- Tunney, Loughran,

Greb- Walker, Flowers

Ray Robinson- Armstrong, Gavilan

Jimmy McLarnin- Benny Leonard, Barney Ross, Tony Canzoneri
Ross- Canzoneri, McLarnin

 

I'm not sure walker or flowers are really in the debate for being top 10 mw's, maybe walker but not 4 me.

 

Harada beat Ebihara and Kingpetch, who aren't in my top ten flyweights but could arguably be.

Arguello beat Chacon, Limon and Boza (135) who could all scrape the lower top ten of 130.

Genaro beat Pancho Villa a few times, 'Memphis' Pal Moore and Charles 'Bud' Taylor; the first a certified top ten fly and the latter two arguably latter top ten bantams.

 

Charles beat Burley, Moore and Louis

 

I don't think Norton deserves a top 10 Ranking all things being considered. In fact I'm not even sure that I have him in my top 20.

 

Its an interesting proposition and, since I've been unrelentingly irascible towards some on here,[not without just cause,] I will endeavour to partly redeem myself by mentioning three I'm fairly confident no-one else will.

It hinges of course on one's own interpretation of "ATG", but you added the caveat "type", so some leeway there.
