    It would be impressive if he had won all those fights. However he lost all the Moore and Charles fights,lost both to Olson , both Machen fights, and lost to Marshall and Pastrano.

    E.G.
    Jack Johnson
    Sam McVey
    Luther McCarty
    Joe Gans
    Bob Fitzsimmons
    Kid Williams
    Hugo Kelly
    Peter Maher
    Bob Fitzsimmons
    Al Kaufman
    Dixie Kid
    Jack O Brien
    Dave Holly
    Joe Walcott

    Greb (Walker, Tunney, Flowers, Loughran)
    Robinson (LaMotta, Basilio, Gavilan, Graziano, Zivic)
    Ali (Frazier, Foreman, Liston, Patterson)
    Charles (Burley, Walcott, Moore, Louis)

    All of these guys deserve to rank up their based on who they beat.

    Amen, and his victory over Patterson was a robbery. He has a lot of names on his resume but lost most of the time to most of them.
