Ray Robinson fought 19x in one year. And when he lost for the 1st time, I think he rematched Jake Lamotta 3 weeks later and beat him. That's amazing.Comment

Yeah, those days are gone forever. The two main reasons, they make enough money so they don't have to, and there aren't nearly as many fight cards in the US. And that's not even factoring in television.Comment

Probably not.
- Today's fighters, while athletically superior are spoiled by the times. -
-They get 4 to 8 week training camps, conditioning coaches for some, nutritionists etc,. -
- Guys like Sugar Ray Robinson fought every month AGAINST TOP COMPETITION, the way an up and comer fights bums and journeymen every month for his first 20 fights -
-15 Rounders of course, it always makes a difference to go an extra 3 rounds to get that decision. -
- Smaller gloves back in the day -

yeah man he was great he deserves #1 all time... today it's impossible to have someone do that simply because they would have to be like 200 years old when they get their 134th victory.
