    I guess it's Sugar Ray Robinson. Among the Hall of Famers he fought and mostly defeated included Fritzie Zivic, Jake La Motta, Sammy Angott, Kid Gavilan, Henry Armstrong, Carmen Basilio, Rocky Graziano, Randolf Turpin, Bobo Olson, Gene Fullmer, Joey Archer and Joey Maxim. Among the future world champions he fought and mostly beat included Tommy Bell, Kid Gavilan, Carmen Basilio, Jake La Motta, Paul Pender, Randy Turpin, Bobo Olson, Terry Downes, Gene Fullmer and Joey Giardello

    In total, Harry Greb faced 16 Hall of Famers a combined total of 48 times during his career, going 33-9-6 against men who would later be defined as all-time greats. In 1919 alone, he fought 45 times, a feat that is very unlikely to be repeated given the current trajectory taken by modern boxers
