    Is there such a thing a questioning an Old Fighters Status and placing in History?

    just seems like these opinions are not welcome, straight away no matter how relevent or how good a point you make you'll get a "ROFLLOLmaolOL ray robinson is the greatest of all time, he was the perfect fighter, he went 90-1, beat 10 hall of famers, never lost a fight in the amatuers!! ROLFLOLMAO fookin NOOB!"


    and usually you wont get a good counter argument
    why is that? what is it people are so afraid of conversing about, when it comes to fighters of the past?

      Ray Robinson and other fighters of his day fought a lot he fought Lamotta twice in 5 weeks,and of course he will be a bit overrated but he earned it and in 40 years people will be exagerating Holyfield Tyson etc.

          the scenario then when these greats from the past fought was much much tougher... thats what makes them greater IMO...

          imagine ray robinson having a 6 fight series against the bigger lamotta?

          now can u picture PBF having a series like that with margarito or williams?

          not a chance in hell...

          & thats just lamotta...

          theres zivic, fulmer & basillo on board (in a series of fights with them )your resume too...

          man, u got to understand that...
