    Who has the most wins over Hall of Famers? Also I would like to know how many ATG's (All-Time Greats) one boxer has defeated.

    I was asked this by my brother the other day and have searched around but could not find out the answer.

    I think the answer is Harry Greb with wins over 9 HOF. He beat Levinsky (2), Dillon, Mike Gibbons, Tommy Gibbons, Tunney, Loughran (2), Flowers, Walker, and Rosenbloom

    Harry Greb I believe defeated the most Hall Of Famers...Such As
    Gene Tunney
    Mickey Walker
    Jack Dillon
    Battling Levinsky
    Tommy Gibbons
    Tommy Loughran
    Tiger Flowers
    Maxsie Rosenbloom etc
    And I might add all these HOF's,except for Mickey Walker and Tiger Flowers. weremuch heavier than Greb,from 10 to 15 pounds,larger...

    Quite true, I suppose we could just offer opinions on this one!

    I had forgotten that Greb had so many quality wins.

    My first guess was Jim Jefferies and percentage-wise he is the tops with 19 total fights he beat 6 Hall of Famers and had a ridiculous 8 World title defenses.

    McClarnin beat 13 hall of famers and he has other fighters in his resume that could be inducted in the future,a terrific resume.
