      Especially Sugar Ray Robinson and Ali.
      Dude. I was around when Ali was fighting. I watched some of his fights when they were happening. Sorry to bust your bubble but I've been around a hell of lot longer than you and seen a hell of a lot more fighters than YOU have. NEXT!

            if you think burley was avoided simply on the merits that he's a better fighter than ray robinson you are sorely mistaken
            In what way does "well rounded" = better?

            You are simply the result of a poor education system.

            Chris Byrd was an excellent boxer. Much more skilled than either Klitschko or most of the HW division. Many of the guys he fought outweighed the guy by 10-20lbs easily!

            Did that stop Byrd from getting KTFO? No, it didn't. That still doesn't mean that skillswise Byrd wasn't much more well rounded than the guys at HW.

            It seems that these simple and glaringly obvious facts are beyond your comprehension.

              What year was this where both became established? Burley was always high risk low reward. Lamotta said why fight Burley when he can fight Fritzie Zivic. Burley knew he really brought nothing to the table in terms of finance. That's why he never blamed SRR who might have been the original diva.

              Listen here swagger jacker. You're talking about something that you not capable of talking about.

                You want Featherweight or Lightweight? I don't rate bogus phony weight classes.

                    In what way does "well rounded" = one-dimensional defensive specialist? You're the one trying to turn definitions on their head here.
