Honestly, is there anyone in here who doesn't see SRR as the GOAT?

Yeah, 30 was pretty old back then... and at 30 +, Ray was still picking up the Middleweight title and fighting top contenders....

30 was old back then and 30 is still old even now for a fighter of Armstrong's style.

Lets not forget that Archie Moore at the time was hitting his prime at around 40 years of age...

A highlight I made of Henry Armstrong which includes some pre-fight training footage and pictures of the Robinson-Armstrong bout:

Yeah, there's no such thing as being able to formulate a hypothesis based on the available info.

Until you can name me someone who went 130-1 in ANY era, you are just another bombastic *******.

I'm not sure that 130-1 is the answer to every question regarding GOAT.. But here is some interesting information that also doesn't really prove much IMO.. The Over 200 Club!

1. Young Stribling 256 (128) - 16 (1) - 15
2. Willie Pep 229 (65) - 11 (6) - 1
3. Ted (Kid) Lewis 228 (80) - 44 (5) - 23
4. Maxie Rosenbloom 221 (19) - 42 (2) - 32
5. Sam Langford 200 (130) - 47 (9) - 46
6. Jack Britton 213 (30) - 52 (1) - 42

Very nice!.. but once again, numbers out of context mean..? To be honest, I really don't know. We need to get Bert Sugar on this thread and maybe he could give a really thorough explanation.

What do we expect from Jack D. ******? Just because one internet writer mentions it and it suits D ******, he bases his whole argument off it. He wouldn't even have made this thread w/o the Max boxing article

archie moore 185-23-11-1

[WhoreUs]

pancho villa was 92-8-4 and he died at 23.

The most powerful puncher in boxing history? Lamar Clark because he had 44 straight KO victories between 1958-1960. To be fair, Edwin Valero still has a chance to be the most powerful puncher in history as he is still active with a record of 25-0 25 stoppages.
