Who has the most impressive resume of losses?

[SUGARRAYSMELEE]

..sugar ray lost just once, not twice, to jake lamotta....

No, he meant he lost to Lamotta in their 2nd fight.

[SUGARRAYSMELEE]

It gotta be the great Sugar Ray Robinson
LTKO14 Joey Maxim
L15 Randy Turpin (I)
L10 Jake LaMotta (II)
L15,l15 Gene Fullmer (I,IV)
L15 Carmen Basilio (I)
L15, L15 Paul Pender
L10 Denny Moyer (II)
L10 Joey Giardello
L10 Terry Downes

In this list, he lost to 7 possible hall of famers.

Yes, but all of those losses except two, Turpin and Lamotta, occurred when he was already well past his prime.

[IRLangmaid25]

A couple of Heavyweights that are generally not given much credit, but they both only lost to good fighters. In some cases past their prime, but still...

Francois Botha (5 losses)

Michael Moorer - L KO12
Mike Tyson - L KO5
Lennox Lewis - L KO2
Wladimir Klitschko - L KO8
Evander Holyfield - L KO8

Gerry Cooney (3 losses)

Larry Holmes - L KO13
Michael Spinks - L KO5
George Foreman - L KO2

Botha has lost to four current/future hall of famers there mate so there is no shame there at all for the White Buffalo

We have to give him Tyson too. Granted it was declared a NC, but only due to smoking pot. Golota showed his chin...and his shaky mental state in that one. Tyson would have about killed most guys with that straight right, and Golota got up pretty well...then quit.

Losing to John Ruiz, Ray Austin and Lamon Brewster is not impressive.
