    I'm talking not only the fighter with the best fights, but your favorites, for one single fighter.

    type resumes, early & late losses, as axpected for all fighters, especially from Busy fighters who Fought Damn Near Every Champ & Contender available to them...

    That's what boxing Fans EXPECT from Great Fighters.

    - John Henry Lewis LHW Champion
    - Billy Conn x2 LHW Champion
    - Primo Carnera HW Champion
    - Max Baer HW Champion
    - Max Schmeling HW Champion

    I can't pick just one immediately:
    Archie Moore
    Muhammad Ali
    Sam Langford
    Lennox Lewis
    Juan La Porte

    But if I did have to pick just a resume:
    Lennox. Fought great fighters of the 80s, 90s, and 2000s and beat every man he stepped in there with. It's just a sterling resume with two avenged blemishes that were basically established as flukes.

    I know it's a bit cliche, given that it might be the best p4p resume, but Sam Langford, wtf are you up to?

    Joe Gans
    Willie Lewis
    Dave Holly
    Elbows McFadden
    Young Petetr Jackson
    Jack Blackburn
    Joe Jennette
    Sandy Ferguson
    Jim Flynn
    Stanley Ketchel
    Jim Johnson
    Jeff Clark
    Sam McVey
    Harry Wills
    Kid Norfolk
    Tiger Flowers
    Jack Thompson
    Jack O'Brien

    Lol, Jesus.



    And so many guys like Larry Temple, who beat Joe Walcott (And Sam Langford) who Langford beat four times - but who doesn't "qualify" for a resume list this absurdly good.

    Fritzie Zivic. Barely a fighter of repute that he missed from lightweight to middleweight in the ‘30s and ‘40s.

    Henry Armstrong
    Sugar Ray Robinson
    Jake LaMotta
    Lou Ambers
    Sammy Angott
    Lew Jenkins
    Bummy Davis
    Beau Jack
    Bob Montgomery
    Freddie Cochrane
    Charley Burley
    Eddie Booker
    Billy Conn
    Kid Azteca
    Tommy Bell
    Izzy Jannazzo

    They matched ‘em tough in Pittsburgh.

    Rocky drew $. He was an attraction as a aggressive knockout fighter. Mainly against over the weight Welterweights. Like Servo for example. People wanted to see him fight because they knew they were gonna see a knockout.
    Graziano was able to climb the ranks of the middleweight top 10, get a title shot without as far as I know beating a top caliber full fledged middleweight. I could be wrong on that but it's an amazing resume. He eventually won it.
    Whoever his manager was should be in the HOF. The definition of greatness.
