There is no such a thing as the greatest of all time, because every era had some great fighters. It's dumb to consider any boxer as the greatest of all-time.
Each era is different, we don't know how great Sugar Ray Robinson would've been in today's era or how great Floyd Mayweather Jr. would've been in Robinson's era or Jack Dempsey fighting today in the so called ****ty heavyweight era, would Jack Dempsey still been an all time great fighting in the era of the super heavyweights, (Dempsey was only 175 to 180 in his prime) etc etc....
Skills is different, you can judge skills with your own eyes, but still you can't just consider guys like Whitaker, Mayweather Jr., Roid Jones, Sugar Ray Leonard & James Toney the greatest of all time, because none of these guys fought the other era greats.
We just don't know how these greats would've been fighting in diffwerent era, all great boxers from each era should be considered an all time great but not the greatest of all time.
Mohammad Ali was not the greatest of all time, Sugar ray Robinson was not greatest of all time, Henry Armstrong was not the greatest of all time, Sugar Ray Leoanrd was not the greatest of all time, Willie Pep was not the greatest of all time, Roberto Duran was not greatest of all time, Rocky Marciano was not the greatest of all time, Floyd Mayweather Jr. is not the greatest of all time etc...
I've seen too many great boxers and I can't pick just one guy as the greatest of all time, maybe 10 or 20 but not 1.
