The only one that is a record is the 3-time linear HW champ.
Sam Langford beat 10 Hall of Famers (not including Jack Blackburn), as did Sugar Ray Robinson.

Re: Ali holds three records that will never be beat that most did not know
If you're talking about Ring magazines fight of the year, Ali won it 6 times.
1963 vs Doug Jones
1964 vs Sonny Liston (was there really nothing better that year?)
1971 vs Joe Frazier
1974 vs George Foreman
1975 vs Joe Frazier
1978 vs Leon Spinks (serious WTF there)
Carmen Basillio won it 5 times, 5 years straight.
Joe Frazier and Arturo Gatti are on 4, and Micky Ward, Rocky Marciano and Rocky Graziano have 3 wins.

Re: Ali holds three records that will never be beat that most did not know
I always thought Ali winning the title 3 times was always a bit...hyped,i guess would be the right word.....
Im mean losing to and then beating "Neon Leon" to win it back....Not the greatest story ever...
All the other records though...what a legend.

Re: Ali holds three records that will never be beat that most did not know
I never said it was...Im just saying losing to Neon Leon and then winning in the re-match to win the championship the 3rd time isnt the amazing story it's made out to be,Considering Leons circumstances...Getting blitzed and not being able to handle the fame such and such.

Everything else though..Obviusly amazing.

Ali by 36 was in boxing terms 45yo he was in more wars than anyone i can remember. Plus by 78 was slurring like a mofo and Doc Ferddie said he caught Ali taking Levodopa in the Coopman fight in 75 and he thinks he see that bottle in Zaire.

Re: Ali holds three records that will never be beat that most did not know
Look say what you want about the ring but i think Evander deserves the credit of atleast a three time champion and if you count ruiz he at least held if four times. That has never been done before so i give him that but thats just me. Thing i dont gte with Holyfeild is he never in pound pound lists i mean he may not be top ten but he is atleast 25 or 50 just wanted to through that out there as well sorry if i am rambling should just make a thread for it.

I guess to countercat that point, one could argue, he beat Spinks when he was already feeling the touch of Parkinsons syndrome.I never said it was...Im just saying losing to Neon Leon and then winning in the re-match to win the championship the 3rd time isnt the amazing story it's made out to be,Considering Leons circumstances...Getting blitzed and not being able to handle the fame such and such.

All I can say is Leon Spinks. That was a legit belt.

Re: Ali holds three records that will never be beat that most did not know
Yeah - but he was an old man then (in the terms of the day)
How about winning the undisputed title twice, without ever having lost it in the ring?
