    I'm not sure if Ray has beaten the most Hall of famers but he holds many wins over them

    Angott x 3
    Zivic x 2
    Armstrong
    Gavilan x 2
    Lamotta x 5
    Turpin
    Basilio
    Fullmer
    Graziano
    Olson x 4

    Thats 21 victories over HOF ers. It may not be the highest but it's up there.

    Ceferino Garcia entered the now defunct Ring HOF in 1977, and is one of just three members of their modern category who have yet to be inducted into the IBHOF. (Gus Lesnevich and Yoshio Shirai are the others.) Accepting Ceferino's Ring membership brings Hank's total up to 11. Looking at the names honored by the Ring which have yet to gain entry into Canastota, I'm pretty confident that most, if not all, will eventually be included. Garcia's overdue, so I expect that to be rectified in the next couple of years.

    Looks like Greb take the prize on this one while some fighters have a few more they were rematches. IMO you have to rate a fighter higher for taking on such varied great fighters and little on the rematch front.

    This page convinced me as well seeing the huge (some over 80 pounds heavier) and great fighters he fought.

    12. McLarnin lost a split to Brouillard.

    Greb has 13 IBHOF scalps if you count Blackburn. And at least 21 victories(22 if you count Blackburn) the last time I counted.

    A lot has happened since 2010!

    Greb and McLarnin now share the record for most HOFers fought (16).

    Greb holds wins over 15 of his HOFers - with McLarnin right behind at 14.

    Langford is up there too I’d imagine. Not quite as many as Greb or McLarnin but he’s probably got around 10 or 11.
