Greatest Resume of All Time?

[JAB5239]

I have no idea why he gets credit for beating a shot inactive Jackson with a damaged lung, its really not worth mentioning.

That he did it to that version of Jackson, no. That he did it in his 9th fight, yes.

I'm a Greb guy, but Langford, Robinson, Charles, Armstrong, and in the modern era Duran, are all in the discussion IMO.

I can't give Jeffries any credit for that fight. Not only did Jackson have tuberculosis, he had been inactive for three years. Jackson died from his illness less than three years after that fight. I can't see giving any fighter credit for beating an opponent under those circumstances.

Pound for pound who has THE best resume?

Fighters like Langford, Greb,Armstrong, Pep, Ali, will always belong in this topic. But my pick will always be Sugar Ray Robinson until I see a fighter or read about a fighter with a better resume. And so far I have not.

Jackson should not have been fighting and any competent boxer should have beaten him without too much trouble given his condition, whether it was one of their first fights (e.g. Jim Jeffords) or their fortieth. Fighters progress at different rates and Jeffries had proved to be a competent boxer before hand, being able to draw with Choynski and Ruhlin.

Exactly how I feel, Jackson was simply not going to win, goes to show how far name value goes.

We'll have to disagree than my friend. I don't think its an all time great win, but its a decent win for any fighter with 8 fights.

Ruhlin was as green as Jeff and Choynski was outweighed by more than 60lbs.

Can an argument be made for Ezzard Charles? He's atleast up there.

Charley Burley x2
Archie Moore x3
Lloyd Marshall x2
Jimmy Bivins x4
Joey Maxim x5
Jersey Joe Walcott
Joe Louis

Along with a long list of very very good wins.

I wouldn't say he has THE best but I do think he's up there.

I dont get why Charles isnt more in the discussion. A near prime Archie Moore is one of the greatest wins in boxing, period. and he did it 3 times more. Now throw in the fact he beat the second best heavyweight ever(although old) and all those other incredible wins. I think hes VERY much in the discussion.

I dont know much about Jackson, but if it was true he was suffering that badly and that most competent fighters could beat him at that point, then its not a good win. Just because Jeffries was pre-prime doesnt mean a mediocre win gets catapulted to a 'good' win.

thats like saying that Roy Jones was a good win for Hopkins, simply because Hopkins himself was old. or that Camacho's win over Duran was good simply because Camacho was past his best weight and also old. reality is it doesnt matter how old and out of prime prime Hopkins/Camacho was at that point, since Roy/Duran clearly wasnt a world class fighter anymore.

He also KO'ed Goddard (who fought Jackson to a draw), its just not a good win now matter how you spin it, beating a 37 year old fighter with a seriously damaged lung (damaged 6 years and prior and would go onto kill him shortly after), he hadn't beaten anyone of note in 6 years either and in his fight after he would be KO'ed by 1-1 Jim Jeffords. No credit should be given to him for that, Jackson shouldn't have been fighting anyone at that point.

Pacquiao and its not even close.

Barrera x3
Morales x3
Marquez x3


Most fighters don't even have 1 trilogy against a HOFer let alone 3 trilogy against all sure fire first ballot HOFers.

And hes the only 8 division world champ. A record that will NEVER be broken.

And hes the only fighter to sell 1 million PPV's for one fight in 4 consecutive years.
Another record that will NEVER be broken.

Only 4 division Lineal champ in history.

And I could go on and on but its late and I got to get up early tomorrow.

If -JUGGERNAUT-'s Roy post could be deleted for allegedly not being a credible contribution, that post right there should merit a lifetime insta-ban.
