    Who's the GRIT? (Greatest Resume In Total)

    The GRIT (Greatest Resume In Total) belongs to a boxer who has fought the best competition, regardless of how many losses may have accumulated throughout his career. Compare this with the GOAT (Greatest of All Time) which tends to take into account wins and losses combined. Conversely, the GRIT just focuses on resume alone, regardless of whether they've won or lost.

    So who has fought the best opponents throughout their entire career?

    Oscar De La Hoya, as an example, fought Floyd & Jeff Mayweather, Chavez, Whittaker, Pacquiao, Camacho, Trindad, Hopkins, Vargas, Mosley, Molina, Mayorga, Sturm, Gatti.. He lost to many of them but this doesn't matter, he still could be top 3 GRIT.

    It's all subjective, but who you got?

        Oscar's fine but if you are looking for the greatest resume(s) in boxing, win or lose. Don't focus on only recent fighters. Boxing's history is rich and full of "GRITs"

        hominy grits are griter than Oscar?

                  Fernando Vargas, he fought DLH, Tito, Winky, and Mosley, Hoya and Winky didn't fought, Tito and Mosley didn't fought.

                  Vargas also had Mayorga and Quartey in his resume, That's 6 out of 7 big names, (only missing is Forrest) and to add more, Castillejos, Campas, Raul Marquez, all 154 champs.

                  Ferocious has stayed at Junior Middleweight for most of his career and retired only at 29, losses were to all-time greats Trinidad, Dela Hoya and Mosley, the Mayorga fight, he was just own mentally.

                    langford, robinson, or greb.

                    probably robinson. it's subjective, obviously, to pick just one.

                    ali's is looking better and better as the years go by as well.
