    In my opinion, to be the 'best' of anything concerning fighting, you have to be able to defeat EVERYBODY, no matter what their size, weight, or strength is. Imagine someone walking around on the street saying that they were the greatest fighter in the world or the baddest person in the world. You would naturally interpret them as meaning that they could beat anyone and everyone that they came across. If they were to then say that "No, I mean I'm the greatest fighter or the baddest person in the world when fighting guys that are only my same size and weight", you would . Because that's not truly being the best fighter in the world then, is it?

    Wilder is a HEAVYWEIGHT. So we know he can stand toe to toe with smaller boxers as well as the big ones. Can Robinson, at his size, defeat Deontay Wilder, whether it be the 2000's Wilder or the 2020's Wilder? If not, then how can be 'better'?
    Actually, I can see Robinson taking Wilder.

        It's still going?! Haha

        By your logic, we should just delete all divisions and make one, so we can see who really is the best!

          Muhammad Ali is better because he spent 20 years beating better fighters. You don't have to make up threads with this kind of ridiculous logic to make the case.

              Since this is a pretty ****ty thread I might as well hijack it:

              If they were the same size, who do you think would win, Floyd or Ali?

                  I'd give Floyd a chance. He was better technically than Ali.

                      ali is better because he fought and won in the greatest era in heavyweight history without ducking anyone one or waiting until they where past their best.unlike mayflower jr who fake retired when things where starting to heat up in the welterweight division.ali isn't called the greatest for nothing.
