    And no ones mentioned Kid Chocolate yet i saw him some time ago and he looks superb, great jab, great inside fighting skills, you can see where Robinson got his inspiration.

      that's a real good one

      very graceful boxer in an age where a technician was a true pioneer


      i remember watching richard abril beat the snot out of rios recently and thinking i recognized some of the kid's influence

      abril is of course a cuban

        Gans, hands down.

        And if there were footage of him in his true prime, he'd possibly be considered the P4P GOAT ahead of Robinson.

          No way.

          He simply doesn't have the resume to be considered to be ranked above Ray Robinson.

            Any of Leonard you see on film was from the comeback period I believe, post-1930.
