    Who has the best P4P top 5 wins over 5 different greats? I think the leaders are Charles and Leonard

    Leonard: Duran, Benitez, Hagler, HEarns, Lalonde

    Ezzard CHarles: Louis, Walcott, Bivins, Moore, Loyd Marshall

    Ali: Liston, FOreman, Frazier, Norton, Patterson

    Ray Robinson: Kid Galivan, Henry Armstrong, Lamotta, Basilio, Zivic

    Burley: Holman Williams, Archie Moore, Zivic, Cocoa Kid, Chase

    Then theres Greb, Tunney, M Spinks, Duran Delahoya with exceptional wins. But who has the best 5???

    Lalonde was a title holder, not a great.

    Big difference between the two.

    Some candidates:

    Jimmy McLarnin---Benny Leonard, Barney Ross, Tony Canzoneri, Pancho Villa, Lou Ambers

    Teddy Yarosz--Archie Moore, Billy Conn, Lou Brouillard, Lloyd Marshall, Ken Overlin

    Harry Wills--Sam Langford, Joe Jeannette, Sam McVea, Kid Norfolk, Fred Fulton

    Harry Greb--Gene Tunney, Tommy Loughran, Tommy Gibbons, Mickey Walker, Jeff Smith

    Gene Tunney--Jack Dempsey, Harry Greb, Tommy Gibbons, Battling Levinsky, Georges Carpentier

    Rocky Marciano--Joe Louis, Jersey Joe Walcott, Ezzard Charles, Archie Moore, Harry Matthews

    Joey Maxim--Sugar Ray Robinson, Floyd Patterson, Jersey Joe Walcott, Jimmy Bivins, Gus Lesnevich

    For dominating the top opposition, it is Marciano. For just the best five, I would say McLarnin. Maxim has a surprisingly good list, doesn't he.

    Pick that one out. Great fighters from four different weight classes. If you're judging things as Conteh does - weighing losses against the wins - there are others, if not, surely this is amongst the very best, perhaps THE best?
