You're right... but we are (as always!) only counting IBHOF HOFers.

Thanks to several people finding some names, I believe that we are now up to 142!
One thing that I always wonder is if there are some guys out there that are vastly underrated. Someone whom time has seemed to have forgot.
By looking up these guys records, you can get an idea that that has often been the case.

Obviously sometimes a guy beat two Hall of Famers because the Hall of Famers were way past it or something like that. Still, I think it is worth looking these guys up.

Anyway, here is the updated list:

Davey Abad
George Araujo
Joey Archer
Freddie Archie
Milt Aron
Joe Azevedo
Kid Azteca
Soldier Barfield

Three names still missing from Alp's list are :

Bernard Hopkins
Roy Jones Jr.
Floyd Mayweather Jr.

Yes, they will all eventually be 1st-ballot Hall-of-Famers in their due time. However, at this point they are not in and they have beaten at least two HoFers each.
