For heavyweights alone, you wouldn't call, for example.....
Liston, Foreman, Frazier, Archie Moore, Henry Cooper, Floyd Patterson, Buster Mathis.... Norton... Shavers... Giving Spinks and Foreman their first losses, and fighting Frazier while he was undefeated and Liston with only one loss. I think that trumps Marciano, but to each his own.Comment

Comparing Ali to Marciano is ******. Rocky 100 levels better than Ali.For heavyweights alone, you wouldn't call, for example.....
Liston, Foreman, Frazier, Archie Moore, Henry Cooper, Floyd Patterson, Buster Mathis.... Norton... Shavers... Giving Spinks and Foreman their first losses, and fighting Frazier while he was undefeated and Liston with only one loss. I think that trumps Marciano, but to each his own.Comment

Sam Langford and Harry Greb very likely have the best resumes ever considering quality of names because of them having so many fights, with Langford having the most individual fights against HOF'ers with something like 60, but for overall quality as opposed to quantity, it's tough to beat Jimmy McLarnin's resume;
HOF'ers he fought include; Barney Ross (x3), Tony Canzoneri (x2), Billy Petrolle (x3), Benny Leonard, Lou Ambers, Fidel LaBarba (x3), Pancho Villa, Sammy Mandell (x3), Young Corbett III, Bud Taylor (x3), Jackie Fields, Kid Kaplan, and Lou Brouillard.
Other top fighters and/or champions he fought were; Sid Terris, Young Jack Thompson, Al Singer, Sammy Fuller, Sgt. Sammy Baker, Memphis Pal Moore, Joe Glick (x3), Stanislaus Loayza, Ray Miller (x2) Rudy Goldstein, etc., etc.
That's about 25 fights against HOF'ers, in addition to plenty of other fights against other top guys that were around, which, I might add, took place in a career of less than 70 professional fights.
Oh, and it's worth noting that he beat every one of those guys too, I believe, with the exception of Brouillard.Comment

also there were several good fighters with undefeated records or 1-2 loss records that delay hoya beat. I only posted the recognizable names.
But the thing that makes his list so great is that almost all of them where at there absolute peak when Oscar faced them and majority of them were undefeated at the time too. So there werent any glaring weakness in his opponents. Most guys can beat a fighter once they have been previously exposed and a weakness or short comming can be futhur expose. Oscar didnt have that luxury and they were all Mega fights with alot of pressure on Oscar to perform.Comment
