SRR arguably????? the greatest p4p, no other one even clos w/the talent Ray had...no comments needed as whatever you put is BS...could you see Pac w/Ray, or Floyd, it's laughable...and Lederman, that blind old fat fart has trouble w/HBO boxing, he was a good, at best, judge...vito liked as he always gave 100% w/very limited skills...I saw his 1st bout...

lol easy on lederman! love him or hate him - he's been an integral part of boxing and boxing culture for decades. . . He did have a disgraceful scorecard when he Had Alexander beating Kotelnik - lol Kotelnik whipped dudes ass. . .

but still, just like larry merchant - he's part of my beloved boxing!

Thats a cool deal but why use the word"arguably"? as if anyone will ever come anywhere near to accomplishing what Robinson did.The words "without a doubt" the best p4p fighter to ever live shouldve been used.The term P4P was coined invented for ROBINSON, there will never be a p4p as domininant for as long nor will ever be held to a standard that high. mayweather and pacyow's careers combined dont even add up to HALF the number of fights or knockouts Robinson scored not even half! when they wrap up their carreer it still wont add up to even half combined.,That era had much stiffer comp lineal world champions , not handpicked promotor -driven b.s. we have today.fighters of today are soft the best dont really fight each other ,we have all these "jr" and "super" weight classes and like 10 belts for all these half weights, or belts made up out of thin air like the wbc /arum like to do. the fights arent 15rnds, and the emphasis is on protecting fighters to rake in as much money as possible, only problem is who wants to pay for crappy fights?? nobody. and thats why boxing is on a downward spiral.boxing needs a saviour hell it needs lots of saviours......theres no Robinsons anymore not even close nor will there ever be..
