I will go with the easiest first shot: PAC: Barrera 2x, Morales 2-1, Marquez (assuming he is somewhere in top100) 1-1, DLH 1x ... total 6-1-1 (4KO) With corection to Marquez being 1-1 I don't count guys who are not yet to be sure HOFers (as Cotto/Hatton)
This dosent make sense.... Beating a top 50 atg has so much more clout than beating a top 100 atg... Not to mention the whole subjectivity of the thing..... This thread is destined to fail
Harry Greb Jimmy McLarnin Ezzard Charles This Stinky Gloves guy really doesn't know his boxing pre-1998
Morales and dlh were ****ing past it.... Many would argue oscar isnt an atg Marquez is not an atg so hes beaten 1 atg......
Ray Robinson 22-7-1 against hall of famers; all but one of the losses came late career, beat 10 hall of famers overall.
Pac: Barrera x2, Morales 2-1, Marquez 1-0-1, DLH 1, Cotto 1, Hatton 1 Side note Cotto and Hatton are Hall of famers for sure, so Pac has gone 8-1-1 with hall of famers so far ATG status's aside.
If we look at how good the hall-of-fame opposition was, then Harry Greb has an excellent record. He beat 3 of the guys who were on the ESB top ten middleweights of all time list (chosen by forum people like us). In addition, he is the only man to beat Gene Tunney, a top ten all time light heavyweight.
Cotto and Hatton in the HOF? Cotto? Maybe. A weak maybe. Hatton? Hell **** no. He's 1-2 against the three best fighters he's ever fought - with the win being against an ole' KT.
There is weaker fighters in the HOF than Hatton imo, Tszyu, Mayweather and Pac are ATG's He beat Tszyu, beat 4 reigning world champs BACK TO BACK accross 2 weights, Only lost to the reigning P4P champs and has credible names on his record such as, Tszyu, Maussa, Mallignaggi, Collazo, Urango, Castillio Also went 43-0 before loosing to Mayweather after pretty much clearing up domesically and european and beating all the abouve mentioned, there are far worse candidates in the HOF Hatton gets seriously underated on here, Cotto's a cert too
GTFOOH. Yeah, he beat Tszyu - but Kostya was an ole' man coming off a nearly two year layoff with only one fight prior. Other than an ole' KT - exactly who has he beat? Maussa? GTFOOH. Mallignaggi? GTFOOH. Collazo? Early Christmas gift. Urango? The same guy who was shut out by Andre Berto? This is not the kind opponent that gets you in the HOF, IMO. Castillo? A legend who was WAY past it.
YEa i remember watching a documentary on him and i believe they said something about him facing 30 hall of famers and also a bunch of ATGs. Its funny to think about that thread going on at the moment asking wether Pac, Mosley or PBF could be #1. No way in hell. Not enough time for them to accomplish what SRR did.
Hatton is not Hall of Fame material WEll i guess he could be as far as the most overrated boxer of recent times.
