    Jim Jeffries had 7 wins over HOFers

    2 vs Tom Sharkey
    2 vs Bob Fitzsimmons
    2 vs James J. Corbett
    1 vs Peter Jackson

    and a draw against Joe Choynski

    Overall, he was 7-1-1 in 9 fights vs HOFers, the lone loss coming against a top 10 ATG HW, after Jeffries had gone 6 years without a fight.

      I have Greb unoffiicially as beating 10 different HOF fighters. I am sure i have left some out. I dont see any current fighters getting to 7 again. Even Duran and Leonard had 4 a piece. Leonard beating Benitez, Duran, Hearns, and Hagler. Duran beating Buchanan, Leonard, Palomino, and Cuevas. Pacman may have 4 already as i think all 3 Barrera,Morales, and JMM will be future HOF and he also beat an old DLH, and if Hatton makes it that makes 5. Carlos Ortiz also has atleast 5 different fighters also.

          The best I could think of for recent fighter's would be Holyfield who could have up to 6.

          Qawi(HOF)
          Foreman(HOF)
          Holmes(HOF)

          Moorer(Possible HOF)
          Bowe(Possible HOF)
          Tyson(Possible HOF)

              yeah..Pacman has the 3 Mexicans, DLH, probably COtto and Hatton. By a long shot Oscar Larios. then if he beats Mayweather or Mosley that would be huge.

                Hatton is not HOF material

                  I believe that Jerry Quarry was inducted in the hall of fame too.

                  Probably not,but he'll probably end up being inducted.

                    Actually I think Charles has 9.

                    I think you may have forget Jersey Joe Walcott and Teddy Yarosz.
