And explain to me what about Robinson's accomplishments doesn't match up with Pacquiao's. I mean even an over the hill Robinson after Maxim had some amazing accomplishments.Comment

Let's say its December 2009:
Manny Pacquiao has won his last 3 fights. Added to his already impressive resume are 2009 wins over Hatton, Mayweather and Cotto.
He is in a press conference announcing his retirement.
With this scenario, in your opinion, is he the Fighter of the Decade?Comment

Let me ask you this; do you think the impressive thing about Robinson is that he has 173 wins? Or are you not impressed with the calibre of his opposition? The truth of the matter is that Robinson fought and beat everyone with every style and beat them in their primes...multiple times, even bigger dudes. Are you going to deny that?Comment

Pacquiao might beat Hatton and he would have some chance of beating Cotto, but he won't beat Mayweather.Comment

You act like I haven't done research. I have. So, now I'm asking you to review this:

BTW, if I thought someone was going to surpass Robinson I'd have to actually see it. The only person I really think had any shot was Floyd, but at this point I'd doubt he does it. It'll probably be at least another 20 years before someone else with a legit shot at catching Robinson comes along. It's something intangible that put Robinson so far ahead of anyone else. Not only did he fight and beat everyone he dominated even great fighters, multiple times.Comment

I'm not denying anything that SRR have accomplished. For me his the GOAT or until someone comes along and surpassed him. Well, what's the criteria, what should be the basis, the barometer to be considered as greatest of all time?Comment

You have to be able to put that much distance between yourself and even the other great fighters. What makes Robinson even more impressive is that even after his prime he gritted out really tough wins against naturally bigger and younger HOFers. I mean what do you want me to say? That it's something just anybody could surpass? There's a reason why this guy has been considered the greatest for about 60 years.Comment
