    First of all JMM didn't lose twice. although he was lucky to get a draw in the first fight he still got it.

    I disagree here resume is not just who you beat, its who you fought and how you performed against them. JMM may have lost one and drew one but he still did amazing against who most consider the best fighter of his generation. That alone means alot.

    But i still voted PBF because his wins at 130 can't be overlooked.

    True.

    Thats stupid. DLH is then the greatest fighter of all time. He performed well but lost point blank. You dont count losses.

    There are plenty of fighters that fought alot of great fighters but lost. Are you saying that they should be ranked high just for fighting them?

    Sorry, nobody defines resume as who you fought. Nobody.

    IMO, the resume is the compilation of all wins, loses and draws.

    When ranking a fighter, however, you can't count loses. If you did then DLH could be the greatest fighter of all time. If you did then a lot of journeyman would be better than real ATGs.
