Entire resume,can this be true? Fraziers win over Ali is better then any win Ali had..does Frazier rank higher? Juans win over Manny is better then anything on Mannys resume,does he rank higher?Oscars win over Whitaker is a better win then any win on Whitakers resume,does he rank higher?
I see some posters saying that one win on a fighters resume is better then anothers

It doesn't mean anything.
Ruben Carter's win over Emile Griffith is better and more impressive than any win on Mayweather, Hopkins, Roy Jones, Pacquaio, Holyfield etc etc etc
What does that mean? Nothing.
I would also say in response to your opening post that Whitakers wins over Chavez and Nelson are much better than Oscar's win over Whitaker.Comment

I hear some of them say Mannys win over Barerra is better then anything on Floyds resume so he ranks higher,ok So does Torrecampo rank higher then Manny? does Juan rank higher then Manny? Does Bradley now rank higher then Manny?because their wins over Manny is better then anything on Mannys resumeComment

One must not forget that his wins are even better regardless if he faces someone off a loss or even after a certain fighter beats them firstComment

The argument works in some cases. With Buster Douglas and others we have the benefit of hindsight and we can see that those fighters were just one shot wonders.
If your comparing two ATG's, both with pretty even resumes and pretty even skill wise I think its perfectly legit.
In an argument between Roy Jones vs. Bernard Hopkins you can say "Roy's win over a prime James Toney is better than anything on Hopkins resume"
In an argument between Guillermo Rigondeaux and Abner Mares you can say "Rigo's win over Donaire is better than anything on Mares' resume"
In an argument between Larry Holmes vs. Buster Douglas that argument won't work.
You just have to use common sense.Comment
