    Is it possible to compare ONE Hall of Fame fighter (like a Marvin Hagler, Sugar Ray Leonard) to an ENTIRE boxing nation which has produced very little world champions like Peru? If you think about it, Muhammad Ali’s resume alone is better than the entire boxing history of Peru (or that of Austria and Belgium), which has only produced one world champ. This may sound odd or uncommon but isn’t it true?

    Would someone who beat them all have a résumé as good as Charles? I'll say no.

    Is that how it’s works? I thought it would the resume of one fighter matched against the combined resume of every notable fighter of an entire country?

    Maybe you’re right.

    Would the best of them make a résumé as good as Charles's?

    Probably, though there's a few I don't know enough about.

    If you count Peter Jackson, Bob Fitzsimmons etc. it'd really be a no brainer.

    When I first clicked on this I was thinking a little differently.
    Roger Mayweather vs Mexico. Roger was beating Mexicans one after another until they matched him vs Chavez. Before the Black Mamb he was known as the ''Mexican Assassin"
