I remember once hearing someone argue that Joe Frazier was 'overrated' and one of their main points was, "name his second best win." Implying that outside of Ali he didn't beat anyone. And while I may not agree with Frazier being overrated, it got me thinking, how many big name fighters have a resume with their top scalp being far better than their next best?
Frazier's best win is clearly Ali, his second is probably Jimmy Ellis, thats a fairly decent drop. The other fighter I thought of was Iran Barkley, he beat Hearns but whose his next best win?
I was wondering what other fighters you feel fit this mold? With the top win on his resume being far superior to the next.
