Yarosz, who earlier had won 54 consecutive fights and sported a 70-3 record despite missing 21 months while serving in World War II, was credited with winning the last four rounds, but he lost the fight.

 Hopkins' Advocates Might Need a History Lesson; well, Class is in Session | TheSweetScience.com Boxing
Now consider that during the era these two men were active, boxing was a business where world-class fighters actually fought each other quite often, because that was the only way they could continue to develop their craft, and prove themselves worthy of a title opportunity.
So why in God's name are Teddy Yarosz and Lloyd Marshall not in the Hall of Fame, while the comparatively unaccomplished Barry McGuigan is? The only plausible explanation is that the bulk of the voters who decide such things share the same sensibilities as the Jim Lampleys of the world.
To imply that Bernard Hopkins is somehow singular as a fighter who took the "hard road" to the top is laughable to some, even insulting, when the travails of Burley, Marshall and Holman Williams are taken into account.
