    Is Lazslo Papp the greatest fighter ever?

    Amateur record - 301 wins - 12 losses and 6 draws - 55 first round knockouts

    3 time Olympic Gold Medalist - once at middleweight and twice at light heavy and he was only 5' 5"

    As a pro he went to 27 wins and two draws. People talk about Ray Robinson but this guy was a monster.

          Is Felix Savon the greatest Heavyweight ever? No because I'm not ******.

          You have to actually do something notable as a pro probably at least once like.... I don't know the hundreds of other fighters that deserve to be in the conversation ahead of Papp.

                He wasn't allowed to travel to U.S. He beat Jose Torres in the olympics though.

                As a pro he beat Tiger Jones who once beat Kid Gavillan.

                    So he did nothing in the pros? He beat Tiger Jones when Jones was in his mid 30s and well over the hill, in what I think was one of his final fights. He beat Jose Torres when Torres was a novice amateur in a 3 round bout.

                    Papp isn't even in the top 100 greatest ever fighters. If you're argument for Papp being one of the greatest ever fighters if that he beat an old over the hill Ralph Jones and a teenage Jose Torres over 3 rounds that's just crazy.
