Who has got the better resume... Harry Greb or Ezzard Charles?

Greb. No disrespect to Charles, I rate him very highly. He is imo the greatest light heavyweight of all time and fought top names from middleweight to heavyweight, he fought the best around almost right from the start. Both never ducked anybody, but Greb wins this one. He defeated 18 men who are now in the HOF and beat a heavyweight champion who didn't lose to anyone else. He achieved all he did despite being blind in one eye for most of his important contests, and defeated top heavyweights despite being a middleweight and much smaller than Ezzard Charles. He also only has eight official losses in 299 recorded fights, or 20 losses if you count ND's, Charles has 25 losses in 119 contests, albeit most were at the tail end of his career. I have the upmost respect for Charles, but I think Greb has the better resume.
