Arturo Gatti
Genaro Hernandez 32-0
Hector Camacho 63-3
Rafael Rueles 43-1
Wilfredo Rivera 43-2

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.

I always thought that De La Hoya, Ali and Robinson most impressed me. De La Hoya lost a bit of his most important fights, but eitherway, he still fought PRIME fighters while in his prime. Not many can say they did that ALL throughout their careers. Ali beat a lot of prime fighters, gave a couple their first losses and Robinson is Robinson. It'd be between those three if you asked me.

My 3 would be... Duran, Moore, and Foreman.

Something about fighting different fighters over long careers gets me all hard.

Duran fought the best, but didnt BEAT them. He lost 2 out of 3 to leonard, lost to Benitez, lost to hearns, lost to Hagler. Robinson is it for me... Ali is pretty good, Leonard is good, Tito is good, Dlh is good, Sweat Pea. Pacquio now is good...

[Feint]

I would vote for Ali, but both Duran and De La Hoya also deserve a mention.

[wpink1]

Is this for who fought the best, or who beat the best. If it is who fought the best...then clearly Duran, Ali, robinson. If it is who beat the best, then Leonard, Robinson, Ali.

Honorable mention....Whitacker, DlH, Pacquio, Greb, and others.....

I was inspired by a thread about Felix Trinidad, who has a great resume in his own right, and it got me to thinking. Who do YOU think has the best resume in the history of boxing.

Incidentally, here is the resume of Felix Trinidad that inspired the thread. We'll call this a starting point, so to speak.

FELIX TRINIDAD

Roy Jones Jr 51-4-0
Ronald Wright 48-3-0
Ricardo Mayorga 27-4-1
Bernard Hopkins 39-2
William Joppy 32-1-1
Fernando Vargas 20-0-0
David Reid 14-0-0
Oscar De La Hoya 31-0-0
Pernell Whitaker 40-2-1
Luis Ramon Campas 56-0-0
Oba Carr 32-0-0
Hector Camacho 43-2-0

It'd be cool if you all kinda posted the resumes like this, but it's all good. And I realize that this might be impossible to ever truly get right. That's not the point. Who IN YOUR MIND, has the best boxing resume, ever?

Discuss.

Nice. Puerto Rican fighter Miguel Cotto has big shoes to fill but he is off to a great start. Maybe in a couple years he will have the resume and win the fights Tito couldn't.

[wpink1]

Ali beat liston, frazier, foreman, Lyle,shavers, Norton, over TWO DIFFERENT DECADES.........

Leonard beat Duran top all time fighter, Hagler top all time fighter, Hearns top all time fighters, Benitez not quite up there with these 3 but another top all time fighter, Kalule undefeated jr middle who was also the number uno ranked jr welter in the world at the time of the 76 olympics and was favored to win the gold over leonard..but they boycotted.

Robinon ...where should I start......
