    Sam Langford is truly truly amazing. Almost certainly the greatest fighter never to win, or even fight for, a world title. Fought all the way from lightweight to heavyweight, and continued to fight -- and win -- even after becoming almost completely blind in one eye and partially blind in another. Problem was that he was just too good. That, and the fact that heavyweight career overlapped with that of Jack Johnson -- who refused to give him a title shot,

    Career span of 24 years that can surely be broken up to display 2 hall of fame Careers. Mind boggling stuff.

      I'm sure Henry Armstrong's career includes accomplishments that are worthy of multiple Hall of Fame body of works.
      Hopkins is not the greatest fighter of this era, first of all.He's known as a
      boring,dirty fighter.Roy Jones and Calzaghe put him to school so they'll
      always be better.

        robinson would be a hall of famer in the 40's and the 50's if you were to look at them separately. he was the fighter of the decade twice.

        one career was at WW, the other at MW. at WW he was unstoppable, and at MW he showed his age but kept coming back. he won the MW championship five times.

          pretty much any true ATG has 2 careers for HOF

          Manny would have been a lock at the lower weights, and then his rise in weight starting in 08 til present would be another HOF career

          Floyd could have retired after gatti and been a HOFer, plus what he has done over the past few years

          Evander at cruiser, and then at heavy...

            Ali was HOF worthy by the time he beat Folley in 67
