Who has the better resume Sugar Ray Robinson or Manny Pacquiao?

I do NOT agree with you when you say that "Racism is a great motive to fight a man".I say Sugar Ray Robinson and Henry Armstrong are two of the biggest names in boxing which should be at the top of the ATG. Pacquiao is at least at the top 10.
I don't really care for Sugar Ray Leonard and as Floyd said he was a hype job. And I think Floyd wouldn't have said it without him knowing what a hype job is. I have more respect for Thomas Hearns than SRL.
Well, back to the argument. SRR and Armstrong fought inside the decades when racism was in an all time high. Watching clips of Joe Louis fighting a white boxer then winning followed by the audience turning into a mob out to hang him was a scary scene to watch. So, I just believe that fighting in those decades take a lot of courage and self determination to go against the crowd and expectations. Robinson and Armstrong were both pioneers.
To boxing inside the ring, Robinson and Armstrong fought all over the world. They showed their skills and their heart. Also, their schedules of fighting every month, or twice a month then every month, to 15 fights in a year is an impressive accomplishment. If you think about it, if JuanMa can lose to a journeyman named Salido or James Kirkland to Ishida then absolutely fighting 15 times a year would have increased the chance of an upset.
I don't like comparing those boxers to the modern day boxers. Modern boxers have to deal with politics. They don't even fight no more than 4 fights a year. And if they get a little bit of name recognition they become protected properties that only fights twice a year. All the champions today only fights twice a year and named boxers like Williams and others only fight twice a year too. So, those old time boxers would have laughed at the modern day champions. You know how many white boxers challenged Henry Armstrong and Sugar Ray Robinson back in those days? They all wanted to fight them because they couldn't stand those black men being at the top and on top of the white race.
Racism is a great motivator to fight a man. Hate is another thing. And the determination the politically correct term to say why any man wants to win. If I think about it, Ortiz hated people calling him a quitter and hated Berto for saying that he will make Ortiz quit. Berto didn't have hate or racism in his "determination" he only had an inflated ego. Berto thought he was the best because he was undefeated and he never quit. Then Ortiz came along with all the hate in the world and pounded Berto's chin to the ground twice and gave him jelly legs for 12 rounds.
Pacquiao is definitely up their in the ATG. And in this generation, starting from 2003 when he beat Barrera to 2011 and beyond he is definitely one of the best boxers. Give credit where credit is due. I think Rios hasn't fought anyone who will test him out. Right now, if Rios and Ortiz fight Ortiz wins because he found his "determination" which is he hates it when people questions his heart and calling him a quitter. Rios still has that undefeated smirk in his face like how JuanMa showed his before his fight with Salido. But all smirks disappear when the other boxer doesn't want to go down and who keeps throwing heavy punches from Round 1 to Round 12.
To the best of my belief, the large majority of boxers are a kind of brotherhood, and acknowledge that they have RESPECT for one another, regardless of an occasional PERSONAL grudge or dislike.
Racism may have been a motive for promoters and attendees. Here's another thing to think about. There was, at one time, a considerable RIVALRY between NATIONALITIES, like Irish, ***ish, Italian fighters,etc which rose and ebbed. There were periods of popularity for certain nationalities, to the extent that you could find Italian fighters adopting ***ish or Irish names, and vice versa.
For example Max Baer, popularly but erroneously believed to have been ***ish, because he wore a Shield of David on his trunks (as indeed I myself did) ........ only did so for the first time because he was fighting Max Schmeling, just around the time when Hitler was publicly and seriously persecuting ***s, and much of the American boxing fraternity was ***ish. This was GREAT PR, and we'd never heard of ".....Political Correctness......".
I believe that Packy O'Gatty was Italian, as many champions were, with changed or anglicized names.
But I don't think that any of the above is the kind of racism that you are meaning??Comment

Mak knowledge of boxing>>>>Yours.I have no beef with you my dude. In the last few weeks I've seen you post stuff about Pac that I agree with 100%. I used to think you were a shameless tard like Makavelli but I now believe that you're no nut hugger. People on this site don't like me because I **** on Pac but I don't care. I'm no d1ck riding fanboy who follows 1 fighter like I'm in a cult.
The thing with Mak is that he can actually discuss boxing. If you go at him the right way, you can have a real boxing discussion with him. From Marvin Hagler to Simon Brown, Terry Norris, Juliun Jackson, ever smaller fighters like the Ruelas brothers, Tapia, Carbajal, and Chiquita. I have seen him discuss about those fighters and he knows what he's talking about when it comes to those fighters.
I have never seen you discuss fighters like that. I have seen you discuss Leonard and Duran and the Klitschkos but that's about it. And, it was just like one or two threads about it. After that every thing you write is about some crappy Floyd vs Pac nonsense.
Is not that you **** on Pac. I'm OK with anybody ****tin on Pac as long as you bring up great points and make valid arguments and are like that with other fighters as well. But, the thing with you is, that you **** on Pac with silly logic and when you get countered you say even more idiotic ****.
It is what it is.Comment
