Didn't Max Baer lose to Braddock?? So why is he ranked higher??

For the same reason as Trevor Berbwick aint ranked above Muhammad Ali

Wasn't Max Baer in his prime and champion against Braddock whereas Ali came off losing the title to Larry Holmes via retiring in 11th rd??

Thats not the reason I was referring to!!

Its about career's and not 1 fight.

Oliver McCall beat a near prime Lennox Lewis for example. When you rank greatness (at least imo) its not necessarily who beat or could beat another fighter on any given night - it's about Longjevity, career success, victims and many other factors.

Max Baer had a better career then Jimmy Braddock
