it's the greatest hw resume ever. don't know how it surpasses someone like greb though.

was doing some boxrecing and looking at how the guys he fought were ranked at the time. yes we all know the ring mag is flawed but what system isn't?

1962: ancient archie moore was ranked at #9 and ali beat him.

1963: doug jones was a top 3 ranked hw contender, and ali beat him clearly(judging-impaired revisionists claim otherwise). henry cooper was also a top 10 ranked contender, and ali came from the deck to beat him.

1964: ali beats the heavyweight champion of the world in sonny liston.

1965: ali wins a rematch against liston, and beats #2 ranked contender floyd patterson.

1966: beats 3rd ranked contender george chuvalo, #4 ranked contender karl mildenberger, shot cleveland williams, and wins a rematch with henry cooper.

1967: beats #1 ranked contender and wba titllst ernie terrell, and #2 contender zora folley (with no accusations of illegal blinding substances, unlike liston).

1970: after a 3 year layoff, beats two top 5 ranked contenders in jerry quarry and oscar bonavena.

1971: loses to joe frazier, then beats top 10 contender jimmy ellis. also beats jurgen blin and buster mathis sr.

1972: beats top 5 contender mac foster, uses top 3 contender jerry quarry as a punch bag in a rematch, top 10 contender floyd patterson, and also beats lhw champ bob foster, as well as alvin lewis and george chuvalo.

1973: splits a pair of fights with top 10 contender ken norton, beats top 10 contender joe bugner.

1974: wins the rematch with former champ/current top contender joe frazier, and regains the title against joe frazier's daddy, george foreman.

1975: beats top 10 contender chuck wepner (and indirectly plays a large part in a legendary 6-film boxing series), top 3 contender and scary ex-con ron lyle, beats joe bugner again (who is ranked as a top 5 contender), and wins the rubber match with frazier.

1976: ali takes a couple of easy touches in richard dunn and jean coopman. he also wins controversial decisions over #2 ranked contender jimmy young and #1 contender ken norton.

the rest of his career is obviously not nearly as impressive, but still faced guys like larry holmes, trevor berbick, and earnie shavers.

wow, what a resume.

I agree Ali has the best resume in boxing.

ray leonard's.
with wins over

roberto duran greatest lightweight[in my book]
wilfred benitez[one of the greatest boxers period,when he trained]
marvin hagler greatest middleweight of all time[in my book]
thomas hearns[third greatest welter behind robinson and leonard]

[-Antonio-]

Ray Robinson probably has him beat.

[Enayze]

I say Holyfield Resume is just as good.

Rid**** Bowe, Mike Tyson, Michael Moorer, Larry Holmes, Ray Mercer,
