Ali is greater than Robinson

[JAB5239]

what this entire thread is based upon is really how you define "greatness".

Sugar Ray Robinson is the greater boxer... he always will be, above everyone. He has more knockouts then anyone compared to him has fights! The man is the reason the pound-for-pound list was invented.

Muhammad Ali is the greatest fighter. His fights, his aura, his life transcended the sport. His fights unified and went beyond his era. Simple as that.

Ali was and is the greatest personality and ambassador in boxing history. His accomplishments and resume are incredible, but there are fighters in history, besides Robby, who should be ranked above him in my opinion. That is no slight to Ali, only an objective opinion.

Sugar Ray > Ali > Everyone Else

They both fought great fighters but as far as the greatest goes, I have to give it to Ali just because of his whole story and the history behind his fights. Plus, I used to live in Louisville, his hometown.

Ali's title reign was much better than that of Robinson's. He had a better world title record and (in my opinion) beat the better fighters.

You're nuts.
