    Ali's 56-5 to Rocky's 49-0.
    It would be insane to take those figures at face value without looking into them in more detail.

      Yes, but since we are talking about just numbers here. I repeat, Rocky's career record, at first glance looks better than Ali's. That's what I'm trying to say.

        His winning percentage is better. The quality of his competition isn't even close however. And that is what a resume is based on, not statistics.

              One of the best records established was fought by Marvin Hagler.
              When most up and comers are fighting trialhorses and "marks" Hagler was in Philly fighting top contenders and top twenty-five competitors!
              I think he has the best opponents over a long period of time. I happen to know most of the men and these fights because like Hagler I was New England and New York/Jersey based.

              ..............................62 wins (52 by KO)......3 losses (never stopped) 2 dr.

              Everyone on that list could fight, no push overs and top tweny five guys when they fought Hagler. One of the best records, simular and possibly better than Sugar Ray Robinsons.

              Ray.

                      Hagler was TWICE beaten by Kevin Finnegan but resulted to dirty tactics, butting Finnegan repeatedly. resulting in victories for Hagler. Finnegan required over 60 stitches to his face due to cuts from Haglers deliberate headbutts... Hagler was a very good fighter and champion, yet as champion he chose to fight fighters from lower weight divisions in Duran, Hearns, Mugabi, Obel, Antuofermo, Leonard... Sugar Ray Seales could hardly see daylight when Hagler beat him. Caveman Lee, Monroe, Watts & Colbert were not Championship caliber fighters... Tony Sibson was nothing better than European Level and Juan Domingo Roldan (floored Hagler) was deliberately thumbed out of the fight.. Marvin Hagler was a good fighter but thats all. Ray Leonard kicked his ass after nearly 5yrs out of the ring.. Sugar Ray Robinson, Roy Jones Jr. James Toney, Bernard Hopkins would have very little trouble taking care of Marvin Hagler.
