    The general consensus is that Ali had a better resume but all 8 of the fighters mentioned are HOFers.

    Liston, Frazier, Norton, and Foreman > Benitez, Duran, Hearns, and Hagler?? That's a tough argument.

      It's a poll. I see you voted Ali.

      Why? Do you feel he has a stronger resume?

          I got to thinking about how great Leonard's resume is and wanted to compare him to a top 5 ATG and see people's reasoning behind usually putting Leonard around 15.

              Ali also has Archie Moore and Floyd Patterson under his belt, though they were at the end of their careers.
