    All hall of famers. I think he beat 10 but i can't remember the rest off top.

    Ali:

    Liston
    Patterson
    Frazier
    Foreman
    Robinson beat 10 Hall of Famers, but he beat some of them more than once, like LaMotta he beat 5 times, Bobo Olsen 4 times, Sammy Angott 4-5 times, and Fritzie Zivic at east twice. He also beat Tommy Bell twice, his toughest welterweight opponent.

    This would bring his total of wins aginst Hall of Famers to about 22. He also beat 18 World champion, some of them several times, you can figure out that he may have had about 25-30 wins against World Champions.

    I don't think any other fighter can come even slightly slose to that record.

All I can say is, Harry Greb was a natural middleweight who became the only man who beat one of the most talented heavies ever, Gene Tunney. Greb beat 21 hall of famers, in an era when fighters were more skilled/more experienced/tougher. Pacquiao is a good fighter for this era, but overhyped due to the fact that he only fights washed up, slow a$$ boxers. See what happens when he fights a legitimate opponent like Marquez? Gets schooled
      Tunney was a lt.heavy when Greb beat him-his only loss in a stellar career.

              Because it goes without saying. Someone list Ali's name it is clear than Liston, Frazier, Norton, Foreman and Patterson are on the list.

              Someone lists Leonard's name it is clear that Hearns, Duran, Hagler and Benitez are on the list.

                  Great resume, but I think Langford's is slightly better

                    And 20 title defenses
                    Tarver and Pavlik were great performances the others were good as well but they were all smaller guys moving up and the quality of the 20 defenses is extremely weak.

                      every middleweight fights small guys moving up. look at hagler. Leonard, duran and hearns were all small guys moving up. double standard.
