If you think he should be higher then rank him higher. The old time experts declared Robinson the best pound for pound over 50 years ago and it stuck. It is just a matter of opinion anyway. As much as you love boxing you could be an expert and your opinion is as good as theirs. It has been said so much the Robinson was the greatest that it's like it is written in stone and nobody is allowed to disagree. I say to hell with that. The experts who originally declared Robinson the best are guys that are mostly about the same age as Robinson so he was in his prime when they were in theirs. They don't want anyone taking his place. When a young guy gets interested in boxing all he hears is Robinson was the greatest, period. Sure Robinson was great, but so were others like Armstrong. Everyone who cares should study the records, watch the films, and decide for themselves.Comment

Most people refuse 2 even listen if people say there was some one better than SRR. What Armstrong achieved tho was special holding belts in 3 different weight classes at the same time (5 in today's era) n really should have been a 4 weight world champion when he drew with Ceferino Garcia (going on what people like bert sugar said) n there was only 8 world titles at the time.Comment

He actually started at 135, 9 weight classes in today's eraOriginally posted by Freedom.Sam Langford might be ATG p4p#1 and better than Sugar Ray Robinson.
He was shorter with less reach than Floyd Mayweather, yet he fought everybody all the way from welterweight to heavyweight.Comment

And you quite clearly were swinging furiously from the nuts of the guy who said "higher than Floyd", like a little coattailing faggot.
Yeah he is as he quite clearly said it as a dig back at the guy who said ''higher than floyd'' you utter ******.
Flat1985 was only messing with Larry seeing as how Larry is a big Mayweather fan, Frank Ducketts replied as that comment hurt his butt or as you cool kids call it made him ''butthurt''.
Apology accepted, though.Comment
