    Ali has wins over Liston, Frazier, Foreman, Norton, Shavers, Patterson, Moore, Lyle, Quarry, Foster that's a pretty incredible list of wins.

    Ali would be hard to beat among heavyweights.

    Holyfield has a good one as well:
    For name recognition:
    Tyson (x2)
    Bowe
    Quawi
    Foreman
    Holmes

    Moorer might sneak in if it was for the quality of the win.

    Stick to the General Forum. His resume is possibly not in the top 80 or so of all time. And that is the truth, if you compare him to guys like Billy Petrolle, McLarnin, and the less thought of guys.

    Chris Byrd's certainly isn't the best of all time, but considering the context of this thread...

    Evander Holyfield
    David Tua
    Vitali Klitschko
    Jameel McCline

    And to round that out you have your pick of Bert Cooper, Purrity, Maurice Harris or whatever other B-Level guy.

    Not bad for someone who started boxing as a middleweight at all.

    Sugar Ray Robby, Ali, Leonard for sure. Arguello has lots of quality wins:

    Olivares, Chacon, Boza Edwards, Escalera twice, Watt, Navarette, Ganigan, Mancini. Not quite as high quality as some others but definitely a high quantity.

    People criticize Roy Jones Jr's resume, but the wins over two HOFers who were young and at world title level, James Toney & Bernard Hopkins, and how easy he made those wins look, boy are they great wins now. Who else that's currently fighting has beaten two prime ATGs?? Maybe only Pacquiao (in Barrera I, Marquez II, Morales I+II) or Hopkins (Trinidad, DLH, Winky), but I still think RJJ has the best wins on his resume of our era. Best all-round resume probably Sugar Ray Leonard or Muhammad Ali.
