SRR's best wins

[GhostofDempsey]

On another forum i got half way through breaking down his top fights.

Im not an expert so may have missed some or quite a few, or maybe included some which there is legit reasons to exclude them...

Add Carmen Basilio, Gene Fullmer, Ralph Dupas, Rocky Castellani.

Two hundred fights and only KO'd once in his life time. The greatness of Robinson can be seen in how he moves. Being able to fight forward, backward, and control the ring. Some of the best footwork of any fighter past or present. As much as I liked RJJ, he would have been exposed early on in his career had he faced Robison. I don't see any other modern day WW beating him either.

However, Robison was criticized for not facing any of the Black Murderer's Row of fighters in his day--Burley, Marshall, Williams, etc. None of them ever got their shot at Robinson, though LaMotta fought several of them.

Yeah i was gonna go back to it and do his post retirement career but never did. Surprisingly time consuming going through a career like that.

I mean.. this is a troll thread isn't it. Surely. If you don't have any knowledge on old time boxers, don't criticize them. Because SRR would more than likely breeze through any decade as a welter, bar the 80's in which would be the toughest. Not that his 8 years(?) Or so as a welter was easy. Kid gavilan, Jake LaMotta, Henry Armstrong, etc. Some of the p4p kings listed just in that sentence.

Lol, answering your question is as easy as going to boxrec and looking at his resume.

The problem here is that you dont know (nor watched) who are people like basilio, gavilán, turpin, olson, graziano, basora, armstrong... you think that those are my neightbours' names. And that's only a problem of you having no F idea about this sport. You need way more time to understand the answer to your question rather than the time required for reading a list of names (that actually you have already read).

Are you saying Floyd is Benjamin Button?

Or just implying he used insanely good PED's?

Im opened minded to him potentially being a roid user.

I don't care what anyone says, imo, sugar Ray Leonard was the GOAT WW, and GOAT, period. Literally no boxer in the history of the game has beaten as many elite ATG fighters in their primes, and all with distinctly different styles as SRL has.

If there is a P4P GOAT in boxing, it has to be SRL. No weakness to Amy style, has beaten every style, and has beaten the most elite versions of those styles. GOAT resume, imo.

I agree with this.

He beat 3 P4P #1 ranked fighters.

Duran was ranked #1
Hearns was ranked #1
Hagler was ranked #1

Don't forget Wilfredo Benitez, who was undefeated at the time, and another #1ish level guy, and was another bonafide champ he beat during their absolute prime, and got a TKO on him.

SRL literally has the best resume of all time, bar none. It's insane the amount of truly elite and ATG/legendary fighters he beat. And not just beating name guys that are known as legends, but during their absolute peaks.

No man in boxing history can say they beat every style imaginable, and the highest levels of those styles, and while they were at their absolute physical and mental peaks.

And there's so many other really good fighters he's beaten that would be champs in today's sorry state of boxing. Like Floyd Sr. Even though he did get shot prior to fighting SRL, he was still a beast in that ring.
