Is Ray Robinson really "TBE"? How u know if none of you were alive back then..

[BodyBagz]

If someone fights as little as once a year is it too much to expect them to fight the very best available opponent? You use scare-quotes around the word prime as if it's dubious terminology but I could do the same to your 'quality' designation.

Other than the fact he made a lot of money and stayed undefeated, I am just not that impressed with Mayweather. No Williams, Margarito or Cotto at 147 so when one looks behind the hype it's a little underwhelming.

Four belts per weight class, many of which are unnecessary junior classes, so these modern guys can go years without fighting anyone of note. Gervonta Davis being a prime example. Lots of excuses are forgiven by modern fans for fights not happening too ("he's the A-side, bruh").

Relatively speaking, I don't see the modern era as being much better and in some ways it's far worse in terms of promotional politics and the social media clown show.

Look over SRR's resume and tell me you're thoroughly inmpressed

Until then.....

Im not impressed by them on video

I also question why SRR is everyone's automatic "best ever." Clearly he's one of the very best -- he looks fantastic in film -- but he's fighting mostly old school white guys (sorry) who aren't necessarily in the same league as the guys Sugar Ray LEONARD whipped.

SRL beat Duran, Hearns, Hagler and Benitez. I don't think Robinson's "hit list" can equal that.

Jesus ****ing christ. I'm so glad I get reminded as to why I'm not on this forum much anymore.

I guess there enough people around to know the current TBE probably wouldn't survive Hearns and Leonard (dismantled his dad with same type, bigger, more power and no brittle hands). Now, we can work with everyone before him.

Yea you never seen floyd before idiot cause floyd was the master of the style its nothing like how his dad used

Fighters back then were mass produced in some slop shop.
So many nobodies with 100's of wins

SRR may have very well been the best of his time, but of ALL TIME ?
That guy doesn't exist.

to these idiots here in their mind they think he fought all skilled people which is why the number of wins he won is so impressive
cause i respect the 70s more with way less wins with people who actually had good or great skill

Quality > quantity everyday and 7x on Sunday.

It's a farce

let me help those with a closet full of TMT gear.

seems to be some confusion between the 135 and 147 version of the fighter.

[KidDinamita]

like i said, i only seen a handfull of his fights and that not enuff bruh

The footage available on youtube is not when he was in his prime and he looks like a beast, let alone in his prime.

sure he does in 40s compared to 70s looks like a novice so even if we had video would he look like a fighter from 70s? No so you make no sense
