greatest resume ever

[Ezzard]

I don't rank Robinson up with the elite because he did tend to draw the color line, and because the quality of a lot of his best opponents - who usually beat him half the time - is overrated. How good were Gene Fullmer, Carmen Basilio and even Jake LaMotta?

Totally agree, and glad to hear someone else say it. IMO la Motta can make a top 10 but Fullmer and Basillio are not top 10 at 160.

Robinson still has an excellent record though.

I'd go for

Greb, Charles and Langford, all have amazing records.

Ali, Moore, Rosenbloom, Canzoneri have great records too.

1 guy who has an amazing resume for a modern fighter who didn't have a long career is Salvador Sanchez.
