Oscar De La Hoya comes to mind.
But no one considers him among the best that lived. Dude fought everybody that was worth fighting in his career. For the Pernell Whitakers of the world where Oscar won and maybe shouldn't have, there's that Mayweather fight where many believe Oscar may have bested him. Dude was legit and fought anyone in the way. If Ali is the greatest with his losses Oscar at least deserves a little leeway with his considering the opponents.

Oh no maybe. Not a man to a tee in that watch party thought Sweet Pea lost.
I mean the judges scoring was ridiculous. Only outdone by the Chavez fight where Whitaker clearly won. Boxing is ridiculous if you don't eliminate the fame by knocking someone out.

This is why Mayweather can’t be the greatest despite retiring undefeated. This is why Rocky became an icon even though he lost
