after watching sugar ray robinson

[mickey malone]

i really dont think this guy is all that great. I compare him to a better zab judah or cory spinks. This guy is the most overrated fighter off all time?

Hope you watched at least a smidgen.... Say around 50 fights or so?

They don't even have close to that. No where near that.

Compare Ray Robinson to Zab Judah or Cory Spinks?

Robinson would be great for any time.





Many of his opponents would likely reign in today's divisions as well:

cotto cant put away malignaggi...

PBF cant KO baldomir...

Who can put away Baldomir.??

Actually they do. I'd say that there is around 50 filmed fights of Ray Robinson.

[talip bin osman]

imagine fighters like SRR figuring in a series of fights against fellow ATGs & HOFs? as often as every month at least?

thats the reason why i think these old skool fighters will remain up there...

fighting the top opposition more than once & significantly more frequently than the busiest elites right now...

[JmH Reborn]

95% of the posters here haven't seen him fight, and only go by word of mouth/heresay or old ESPN classic fights with terrible quality

We only say he was the greatest because that is what we are supposed to say. Truth is, no one knows for sure if his fighting acumen would have transitioned to today's game.

Greatest ever is all relative, its easier not to engage in the argument I suppose

Some people act, that because he is GOAT, his greatness shouldn't be questioned. Which is wrong, I didn't see much of him as a WW, seen very few of him against Lomata, Turpin, Maxim and Garziano. Might have seen more, don't remember his opponents name. Like someone said, he was great for his time.

Only one or two fight films exist of him at WW.

Only one or two fight films exist of him at WW.

I've seen the Bernard Docusen, Charley Fusari and Sammy Angott welterweight fights. Others are rumoured but I've never seen them. The fight collectors like to keep these films for themselves.
