Well, both Beau Jack and Emile Griffith are tied at 28 appearances apiece... who has headlined the most though?

According to THE RING, May 1976, p. 3, it was Griffith.

According to THE RING "The 80 Best Fighters"," page 65, "only Beau Jack has fought more main events at Madison Square Garden (than Griffith)."
I guess Griffith gets the Garden prize for most fights. Jack most headlining dates.

...without checking i'm guessing that a lot of griffith's battles there were in title fights. jack wouldn't have been in many of those...but in a lot of main events.
