Sugar Ray Robinson is the greatest Welterweight of all times and it's not even close. That being said, despite the fact that I think he beats EVERYONE in the modern era (90's-Current) I feel like a lot of these modern elites will give him a good fight.
His defense wasn't great, at times he does get lured into slugfests and he does get hit on a regular basis by lesser fighters. His hands are often carried low and jabs do get through more against him than against some of the other ATG Welters.
Of course he negates all of that by having a great offense,very good boxing skills, tremendous will power and he got one of the ATG Chins in the history of the sport. It is almost impossible to knock him out at 147, hence his lack of emphasize on defense for stretches simply because his chin can take whatever is dished out.
He BEATS everyone from 1990-current at 147-154. I am curious as to who will give him a 'tough fight'. At 147-154
Out of
Oscar De La Hoya
Floyd Mayweather Jr
Manny Pacquaio
Felix Trinidad
Pernell Whitaker
Vernon Forrest
Fernando Vargas
Paul Williams
Ike Quartey
Antonio Margarito
At MW.. it gets even more interesting (it's obviously past his best weight class) I will pick Martinez,Benn,Eubank,Toney,Nunn to all give him good fights.
Jones-Hopkins might even be favorites.
