    Woah, I'm not taking anything from the boxing register, I'm trawling through records and manually counting them.

    Ortiz has a very impressive one.

    He does, not as numerically impressive, but as soon as he stepped up to the world class level he never looked back. I think at one point he fought eighteen elite fighters in a row.

    Looking at that record it'd be hard to rate Hagler higher.

    Yeah i've always thought that Ortiz' resume is immense. The man fought in a great lightweight era and was the best of it, and fought some of the finest light welters ever and beat them more or less as much as they beat him.

    How about Holman Williams? I guarantee you his will be just about as stacked as anyone else on that list. That's to say nothing of Greb or Langford.

    Greb and Langford will be difficult, we'll have to come up with a different criteria.

    You'd have thought Charley Burley's would be stacked but it isn't really. I can tell just by a quick scan that Williams will have significantly more.

    WHY??? That research has been done, if you have got the tools (which you must have) do non IBHOF fighters and add to our great history with original work.

    **** me, you still aren't getting it. I'm consolidating the lists (but no, I'm not getting it from the register; I don't own it) and typing them up on here so we have a direct source of information available on the forum, with any luck it'll be stickied.

    And I will get round to non Hall of Fame fighters, you'll just have to wait.

    Sweet Pea, check out the difference in Burley & Williams' records. Holman's ain't far behind Ike Williams' at all, both having forty odd 'good' wins.

    Henry Armstrong leads with about sixty seven (I think).

    Still, Phil Mitchell trumps them all.

    :lol:

    Yeh very good wins there for both of them.

    My thoughts on first glance too. Also thats from Feather to Welter which is even more impressive IMO

    yeh he does not so much depth but cracking names in a shorter period of time than most of the pthers

    :lol:

    id also like to see McLarnin



    also sorry to be a stickler but on Marvin Haglers you mention that Thomas Hearns is in the HOF. That is untrue as he is not eligible for it yet

    I wondered if anyone would spot that. Well done. But we all know he'll be in there sooner or later, I thought I'd include him for that reason otherwise it'd look unfair on Hagler.
