Who has the best resume in this Era of Boxing?

How the hell do you guys decide on resume. I see resume on who you fought and beat or who you fought and deserved to beat. Oscar fought everybody, but he lost to everybody. I don't see his resume as spectacular in that sense. I mean he lost to Mosley, Trinidad, Mayweather, Pacquiao, Hopkins, and should have lost to Quartey and Sturm with the Whitker fight being a toss up. If anything I think Oscar is overrated, and is no ATG.
There were plenty of journeymen from the late 60s and 70s that fought each of Ali, Frazier, Foreman, Norton, and Holmens as well as the other top HWs and lost to all of them. Would you consider their resume spectacular since they had a number of L's? I wouldn't.Comment

This is pretty hard. But if we are Talking about opposition faced then it is DelLa Hoya hands down. I mean he fought just about everybody on that list. But you would also have to put Mosley down there too for fight a Prime De La Hoya X2, Prime Winky X2, And Prime Forrest X2, Margarito, Cotto. Even tho Mosley lost his fights with Winky and Forrest, you have to give him credit for fighting them when nobody wanted a piece of them.
But if you look at Wins on the Resume. It Goes Pacquiao to me by having wins over Prime Barrera, Morales, and Prime Marquez. Morales was at the end of his prime when he fought Pacquiao at 29 years old. He wasn't in his greatest shape but it is still two great wins for Pacquiao. Marquez is basicallly prime because at his older age sprouted into a P4P beast. I scored the 2nd fight to Pacquiao with the Knockdown being the difference, but it was an extreme Close fights. Pacquiao also has wins over De La Hoya, Hatton, and other fighters that i cant spell there names right now. His Resume is packed and if he could beat Cotto then it is him easily.
Hopkins resume is packed to. He has a TKO win over Glen Johnson, which was a masterful performance like his Tito and Pavlik performances. Wins over De La Hoya, Winky, Tarver and Close decisions against Calzaghe and Taylor twice. I scored him winning the 2nd Taylor fight and the Calzaghe fight was close. And all his MW title
defenses help his resume too against top quality opponents that were rated in the top 10.Comment
