Which Fighter Had The Best Resume?

[ben41193]

I don't know if I'd put his resume over guys like

Harry Greb
Archie Moore
Muhammad Ali
Ezzard Charles
Maxie Rosenbloom

You can make arguments for them.

Sam Langford doesn't have the list of champs on his resume (he was shut out of the title picture) but he was facing the top guys again and again and again and again.

i forgot all about archie!!!! lol he is deffanatly ahead of robinson
