The rule that Sugar Ray Robinson is the best of all time

[Benncollinsaad]

LOL. Why the hell would they need to mention it? Ray beat LaMotta a further 5 times. Talk about avenging a loss.

Nobody knows if he really won all 5 times. TGA said the first 2 fights were both close.

Boxing is still the only sport in the world, where fighters get worse each day passes.
Why?
Cuz we got:
Better Nutrition and Training methods
More Wisdom about the sport
More Technique
Steroid use inbetween fights
etc etc the list is endless

Nobody beats the guys who were incredible, that stated by the ******ed memory of one grandfather to another ******ed grandfather, who heard the fight with his radio, to us.

awesome reasons:
They fought 15 rounds...yeah 3 rounds, there aren't any todays fighters who could fight 15 rounds, after 12 they all collapse and fall into coma. Epo doesn't give you twice the endurance, no no

They fought a lot more....yeah todays fighter dont have 3 month trainingcamps and never spar.

One would be foolish to think that today's fighters are the best of the best that there have ever been.

I think the current p4p top 10 is proof of that. You would never say for example that today's top 10 p4p fighters are better than the top 10 p4p fighters of 10 years ago. Likewise you could make the argument that the top 10 p4p of 1989 was stronger, or as strong, than it was 10 years after.

Of course when we go back to the early 1980's we have Sugar Ray Leonard, Thomas Hearns, Marvin Hagler, Roberto Duran, Wilfredo Gomez, Salvador Sanchez, Alexis Arguello and Aaron Pryor at the top of the p4p rankings...

Had LaMotta been bigger, he would beat Robinson more than once. But Robinson had the height advantage. We saw what happened when he fought the taller Joey Maxim. And don't tell me that he quit just because of exhaustion and humidity!

LaMotta was stronger and punched harder than Robinson. It's a fact. Robinson unloaded everything on him when he had him against the ropes and LaMotta stayed on his feet. If the roles had been reversed, Robinson would be in a coma.

Okay...and if I could sing like Frank Sinatra , I'd be famous. What's your point?
