According to boxrec.com these are the top winners (150+ wins) in the sport of boxing. How accurate these records really are? If boxrec. com records are accurate, how come Cocoa Kid is not in the HOF with 176 wins? He holds wins against Louis Kaplan, Holman Williams, and Chalky wright. One loss and one draw against Charley Burley. Not a bad resume. What are your opinions?
