I think Ezzard Charles may just have the best resume ever, maybe just ahead of Greb in fact.

Langford is damn impressive. Archie Moore too (of losses are counted here)

Grebs, Charles and Robinson all have ridiculously packed resumes and without as doubt along with Moore have better long term opposition over everyone else. Maybes a couple more in that category as well.

Yet none can claim to have fought 3 universally considered top 10 ATG's like Angott has (even though he got beat of them all).

I suppose Jack Johnson has a good shout as well having fought Sam Langford, Bob Fitzsimmons, James J Jeffries, Stanley Ketchel, Joe Jeanette, peter jackson, Jack O Brien, Sam McVea, Marvin Hart, Jesse Willard and Tommy Burns (although the last three aren't as impressive as the rest).

in lose or draw, I have to say Langford.

From Gans at LW to Johnson at HW. with the likes of walcott and ketchell in between. insane.

In recent times Mosley has fought an incredible list of fighters from Oscar to Winky. Oscar himself is worth a mention.
