    Ezzard charles was a natural middleweight that went up to heavyweight and won the belt. The 160 and 175 champs wouldnt give him a title shot. He has beat 3 guys on the ring's 80 best of the last 80 years, henry armstrong beat 1 guy on that list, you do the math.

    The only reason people are saying its robinson is cuz ali said it. The guy really didnt even fight many black people to be honest. During leonard's era, there were other guys like him. When robinson was around, he was the ahead of his times, there was no one that was slick like him. Robinson wouldnt fight burley and ezzard, he knew he would get his ass kicked. So he decided to stick with his original plan and fight italians over and over again.

    When leonard says robinson is better than him, he's being modest. The guys leonard beat like hagler, hearns, duran, benitez and kalule are held in a higher regard than lamotta, gavilan, basilio, fullmer and an aging featherweight.

        different weight class, dude you know that the guys leonard and charles beat are better. Turpin, olson, zivic, graziano, angott and lamotta are 2nd ballot hall of famers, you know thay arent true elites. For god's sakes, lamotta was 17 pounds heavier than robinson when he beat him by a split decision. Whenever they fought at the same weight, lamotta would lose, therefore implying that his win was a fluke.

        I dont include henry armstrong in my top 5 pound for pound, this may sound cold. But, if you actually do a great depth of research on his opponents, rather than believing " the three belts at the same time" hype. You would realize that he only beat 1 great fighter, thats it.
