I am sure i have left out a few off the top of the head. But here are the 5 guys that i know beat 7 or more boxers that went to the Hall of Fame.
Harry Greb - 10 Kid Norfolk, Tunney, Levinsky, Gibbons, Dillon, Flowers, Rosenbloom, Slattery, Walker, Loughran
Sugar Ray Robinson- 9 - Armstrong, Lamotta, Fullmer, Kid Gavilan, Basilio, Graziano, Zivic,Turpin, Angott
Jimmy Mclarnin- 9 -Villa,Labarba, Ambers, Canzoneri, Ross, Kaplan Petrolle, Leonard, Young Corbett 3
Joe Louis -8 - Schmeling, Sharkey, Conn, Walcott, Baer, Braddock, JH Lewis, Bivins. (Primo Carnera should be #9)
Muhammad Ali -7 Foster, Moore, Frazier, Foreman, Liston, Patterson, Norton
Henry Armstrong- 7 - Wolgast, Ross, Angott, Ambers, Jenkins, Zivic, Montanez
Name any other boxers who beat 7 different fighters who went to the hall of fame?
So does SRR if you add Bobo Olson.
And Mclarnin moves to 11, if you add Charles (Bud) Taylor and Jackie Fields.
... not to mention Greb, who goes up to 13 if you add Jack Blackburn, Billy Miske and another Gibbons (though many of these wins were newspaper decisions).Last edited by Bundana; 02-04-2010, 09:15 AM.Comment

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.
Chavez
Whitaker
Hector Camacho
Ike Quartey?
Genaro Hernandez?
Jorge Paez?
Miguel Angel Gonzalez?
That's seven guys that are likely to get in. ****, maybe even Gatti will get now. I don't think he should but you know how it is.
Duran will probably end up having seven too. Kobayashi is in the WBHOF (world boxing hall of fame) as is Esteban De Jesus and Ernesto Marcel has been nominated for the past two years for the IBHOF. Those three will eventually get in at some point. Ishimatsu, despite his record, may also get in one day. He has a great resume. I mean, if people think Hatton can get in with one win over a definite HOF'er, probably two with Castillo, then surely Ishimatsu with three HOF wins and having fought about three, maybe four others...more likely than Hatton anyway. ****, even Barkley should get in before Hatton. Beat an ATG twice, three weight world champion, fought the best of a great era and probably about five or more HOF'ers himself.
Man, Hatton is so overrated.Last edited by BennyST; 02-04-2010, 09:14 AM.Comment

If you add Benny Bass, Chalky Wright and Baby Arizmendy to Armstrong's tally he moves up to 10.
So does SRR if you add Bobo Olson.
And Mclarnin moves to 11, if you add Charles (Bud) Taylor and Jackie Fields.
