Hardly a shock argument lol
Robinson is widely regarded as the best ever. Only Ali, possibly Pep, Armstrong and Leonard breathe that rarified air.
Just going to The Ring list, I've always found it weird that Duran gets the fotd for the 1970s, when he never faced anyone of the calibre of Norton, let alone frazier and foreman. Ali should also be a two time winner imo.Comment

He's the only boxer among the greats who become the 2x FIGHTER OF THE DECADE.
