    I don't really believe to many people IN THIS ERA that say SRR is their favorite fighter, he is the BEST EVER, but there aren't that many fight vids of him to really know him and have that sort of backing that you have with a favorite fighter.

      Too many that I really liked.

      Ray Robinson,, Roberto Duran, Pipino Cuevas, Joe Frazier, Archie Moore, Ali, Carlos Zarate, Sonny Liston, Henry Armstrong, Stanley Ketchel, Harry Greb and Jack Dempsey would be in my top 12.

          Considering the circumstances, I'm assuming this is directed at me. I've heard of his style, I have seen video of him, and I've read up on anything I can about the man. Tell me how it's any different than choosing a favorite, president, for example? It's not what you've seen, it's what they've accomplished.

              Ray Robinson was a great entertainer. He was a well-spoken and charismatic fighter aswell. There's a story that someone started calling themselves "Sugar" aswell, and he beat his ass then told him to find another nickname. He was also an EXCELLENT business man and also served his country. Not to take anything away from Ali, but I think that matches up pretty well. So, it's really only coming down to the ring skills, and I'd say ROBINSON over ALI, considering Ali OPENLY mimmicked Robinson's style to begin with.

                  and dont forget ali wore the same colours of robinson most people dont mention that but he did and also was seen with robinson.
                  So i think that robinson kinda helped ALi to begin with kinda passed on the torch cause i heard he was gna be Ali's manger at one time.
                  Ali gave alot back to community and made boxing a well known sport so i would pick Ali over robinson.
