The fighters are much, much better now and back in the 80's and 90's. Marvin Hagler would've beat SRR. So would Thomas Hearns.

I love Leonard but Robinson was not overrated. Beat some great fighters on more than one occasion, had KO power in both hands, could KO people going backwards, blistering handspeed and combination throwing.

how would the fighters from the past do in the present had they been born in these more pampered/easier times?

I mean he fought a bunch of mediocre fighters 200 times is that grounds for P4P.

SRL IMO has the better resume just by beating Hearns and Hagler.

That is all.

Hmm, I can't agree with that. Fighting 3 times a month is no joke, how many boxers nowadays do that? The guy was a beast and only started to appear mortal after 140 or so fights.

I have Ali over Robinson.

Quality beats out longevity in my books, Longevity is good to, but quality above all.

I agree. Ali is over Robinson. Could Robinson if he was a bigger guy deal with a slick brawler like Frazier or a killer like Foreman? And win? I don't know.

Not me. Underrated in my book.

I'm am somewhat suprised. The last thing I ever would expect to see is a thread about Sugar Ray being overated.
